Does it only filter chlorine and chloramine or other contaminants as well, for instance bacteria.

from my reading of the literature that came with the product, there was no clear indication of what it would remove and to my mind the design is such that it might lead to contamination in the assembly process. sorry to say, but I suggest you look for another product if you have concerns about water safety

From my knowledge of using the product, it filters also other contaminants such as bacteria, but you should also get more details on that issue from the product's website and other customer reviews.

No, it is only for filtering for taste. Does not get other contaminants like bacteria, lead, etc. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. This is the minimum. Filters for making truly potable/bacteria-free water are NSF 53 (53 means they filter bacteria like naegleria, cryptosporidium, and giardia).

Actually calling it a filter is a misnomer, a filter selectively removes (think of a sieve). This item does not remove anything, actually it adds something to the water: it adds vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Adding ascorbic acid to the water neutralizes the chlorine. If you want to know a little bit more about this, look at the page: http://www.fs.fed.us/t-d/pubs/html/05231301/05231301.html

It removes pollutants from regular water. Also it removes chlorine and some fluoride as well (by carbon fiber filter). Please be well informed.

These types of filters are designed to remove sediment. You would need a charcoal filter for chlorine Removal.

Try contacting the company through their website: www.waterwise.com. If chloramine is the new chlorine, then I would think they would like to make sure their filter works for that too.

I don't believe it does. The only mention is that it filters out 99% of the chlorine.

Yes, I believe so - I researched different filters and this one was the best at removing metals and other contaminants.

You will probably want to inquire from the manufacture if Chloramine is filtered. I had our water chemically tested and that's not something that was found in our water. I installed the filter last April and so far it's performing very well.

Yes, removes chlorine with just the normal black filters! use it all the time to filter my city tap water to make the perfect "berkey" water! The other two supplemental filters are for fluorine and arsenic.

No. A filter such as this removes microorganisms down to about 3 microns. Bacteria and viruses are much smaller. You should use water disinfectant tablets (chlorine) in addition to the filter or boil the water. There are also better and more expensive filters available (e.g. First Need water purifier). Boiling also kills viruses.

This does not take a filter. It is a thing that floats in your pool. You put the 3 inch round chlorine tablets in it. You can also put other chemicals in it because it has a nice function where you can slide the bottom of it to where you can control the flow of chemicals. But I only use mine for the 3 inch round chlorine tablets. It is so easy and no maintenance. Just drop in the tablet and let it float in the pool.

It doesn't use filters, Nancy. It's for dispensing chlorine. Up to 3" tablets.

Not to my knowledge. I do use it however to filter out mold spores. It filters dust particels but I have absolutely no idea about bacteria and germs!!

With the 2 filters on this unit i can't see why it would not reduce the tds i don't know of any filters that completely remove all contaminates

There are chlorine filters you can purchase to further remove the chlorine from the water.

I use it to remove fluoride and chlorine. Some contaminants are particles that are too small for this filter to remove.
