2nd to the Berkey water filter the Zen water gravity filter is one of the most efficient water filters available. The only thing that the Zen does not do that Berkey does is remove flouride -- check out the following article by Mike Rogers who conducted independent testing of water filters: Big Berkey beats ProPur gravity water filter for removal of heavy metals and toxic elementsLearn more: http://www.naturalnews.com#ixzz3H8Q5zOms

If you go to their actual website it explains some of that info. Or I also think it was mentioned on the packaging.

This filter removes over 90% of all chlorine and chloramine, I have one on my shower at the moment

Tap water contains toxins such as pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, etc. The reason to use Spring Water is that Spring water contains some minerals as opposed to toxins in tap water.

It uses a fine mesh resin for softening and iron removal. Give us a call 785-735-9769 so we can better explain this system and go over your water treatment needs to direct you to some options that may work for your water. AFW Filters

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

We use tap water in the filter. According to the book I read it filters impurities along w/ adding things good for dialysis patients

Q. Does the ZeroWater filter remove Fluoride? A. ZeroWater filters are not certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound. The TDS meter is designed to detect inorganic compounds. Fluoride levels in water are usually around 2 to 4 ppm, which will show up on the meter as 002 to 004. So when filtered water reads 000 it is not likely that fluoride is present in water. For more FAQs about filters go to www.zerowater.com.

Yes, basically what you have left is H2O. No salts from softeners, no chlorine, no minerals. Some say minerals and even bacteria are important to humans. If so I'd rather have my water pure and get minerals other ways. Dave

It does remove fluoride although they don't advertise it as such - it's been independently tested here: http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

hi, i would be happy to answer your question the box says 25 gallons but we have used ours for at least 50 to 70 gallons the minerals might be gone but the carbon is still there giving the water a great taste i do not know if you have yet but the filter is very imprtant for taste becuase if dont have the water taste kinda likeplastic at first becuase the vapor picks up the smell of the new plasic but the carbon filter completly eliminates this all in all great product even bought relitive one. filters are about 35-40 for 2 pack.

Distilling water removes everything! Two drops of liquid sea minerals (I use Concentrace brand)) with every 8 oz. ofwater, replaces the mineral balance and taste.

We've had our filter for 10 weeks, still on same filter - and just tested it - oops, it needs changing. It measured 136, our tap water is cleaner at only 55, so it must start discharging the filtered "stuff" into the clean water, and starts to taste really bad, sort of metallic tasting.

FROM THE BRITA WEBSITE: 14. Does the tap water filter cartridge remove the calcium from the water? The BRITA tap water filter cartridge will remove some but not all of the calcium which is present in water in the form of temporary hardness as Calcium bicarbonate, Calcium in the form of permanent hardness (Calcium Sulphate and Calcium Chloride) is not removed by the BRITA filter. The amount of calcium remaining in the water will depend on a number of factors including the composition of your tap water (your water supplier may be able to help you with this information) and the amount of water passed thought the cartridge. It is therefore not possible for us to give an absolute reduction figure for your tap water. It is generally understood that temporary water hardness does not provide a good source of dietary calcium, as this form is not as easily utilised by the body as the calcium found in dairy products and green leafy vegetables.

The more filtering the better. The water may be 'pure' but what does that mean??? When we clean the maker, we run 3-4 pots of plain water through WITH FILTER and the filter picks things up: bits of calcium, alkaline and such. PLUS when using the filters you just pick up the filter and toss it, no need to rinse or wash the basket. We used our old Cuisinart for 10+ years in our motorhome (we lived it in) and now we have a house too and have the new maker there.
