Do the granules come with this filter housing or do they have to be purchased separately?

Comes ready to run, but after a year or a few thousand gallons it needs replacement.

Yes. A complete set of filters is included in the box. Pre-filter is good for 3 months and the main filters last 1 year.

I comes with the filter. Be sure to remove the plastic covering on the filter before you turn your purifier on.

Yes, everything was included. I had someone actually do the installation but I did remove the old filter from my system. The hardest part was getting all the sand removed from the old unit so you can disconnect and remove the old filter. The only thing that I know was a little tricky in my installation was getting the pvc piping to line up exactly right. The old pvc had been permanently glued in so we also had to replace some of the pipe, still that's a small expense and if whoever is doing your installation should not have too much trouble with it. Hope this helps.

I bought the unit, and the install kit, and the filter, all sold separately. We've had everything for a year now, working well. Just remember to keep the filter changed on a regular basis, and keep the unit clean.

To answer the question precisely as asked: no, none of the pictures is included (you get 3 filters, triple housing, a bag of accessories with fittings (you better get better fittings yourself) flimsy instructions and a tool to tighten the filter housing. you will need a screwdriver, and a few minutes of looking over the instructions to figure it out... (use the teflon to avoid leaks and check for leaks.... the rubber seal rings in the filter housing are not the greatest! Hint - use some vaseline on a leaking seal and tighten again.) works fine. Oh, yes... filters are standard size, made by dozens of companies and with different specs to fit your clear water wishes so, in the future, you would be able to customize filtering to your taste!

Yes, all of the Global Water coolers that we sell come with the filters. You can see them all at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me;=A3RAO0WK92IR56

My filter was a single item and did come with the carbon cartridge and it is in its separate packaging but it is 'pre-assembled'. They are a bit pricey but I think the filter only needs to be replaced annually. Also, the hepa unit that I have is my second one. The first one lasted 7 years of being on 24/7 and I was very happy with it. I hope this helps. Good luck!

You have to purchase the white flouride filters in addition. They work great!

Mine came with one filter each. You have to buy any other filters separately.

Yes. One filter is included. I consider this item to be my best Amazon purchase of the past year.

I think it came with the filters, you might call them as the pricing depends on whether you set up auto ship for filter replacement.

Yes, you get one set of filters with the housing. They should last up to 6 months depending on how much you use it.

I ordered the kit that had filtered in it. I haven't had to order anymore but they do sell the filters separately on amazon.

You must have the housing already. Then the replacement filters can be used

Nope, its all in one. Will need to buy sand and salt. Roughly 60lbs of sand for the filter portion.
