Does this Vitalizer work with regular unsoftened tap water?

the company advises you to use non-chlorinated water. i only use spring water. Perhaps filtered water, but you it might also need to be fluoride free

I do not know, as I have never used it with tap water. The instructions say do not use regular tap water. However I love the machine and the water. Nothing but Great things to say.

Since the Vitalizer has a Mineral Cube in it, the water is infused with an exact measurement of minerals in each 1/2 gallon processed. It is best to use Distilled water, but if you are just looking for the oxygen infusion, you can use it with any water. It tastes great and I can really tell a difference in how well hydrated I am.

I filter my tap water with a 3 stage filter. I personally would not use this pitcher with unfiltered water.

not positive, but i think the charcoal is there less to filter the impurities from tap water and more to filter the water as it sits and gets used-like from your pets' saliva, tiny hairs, dust, etc. So it can remain fresher longer and gets less buildup. just my opinion.

I use tap water however I have a water softener system and it works fine. The Protek shouldn't be a problem.

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

yes, using tap water with the cartridge should be just fine. The reason for the cartridge is basically to avoid white mist that's typically associated with ultrasonic humidifiers. hope this helps...

No. This filter will not accomplish that. You will need a reverse osmosis system to do that. Also, please remember to take important mineral supplements when drinking that highly effective purification system water. The same goes for distilled water. If you can afford a reverse osmosis water purification system, it is the best choice of all for healthy water to drink. Another cost for such luxury is your water bill will go up (if you pay for metered water as I do), because I think it takes five gallons of water to make one gallon of purified water.

I don't know about everpure, but did not work for aquasana undercounter filtration system.

You cant put untreated water in your tank- period. Tap water, settled water, bottled water, boiled water, rain water; I wouldnt chance it. I use the blue stuff, its for turtles not fish. But as for the water changer you are asking about- lots of luck using that puppy. Its a great idea and sounds easy peasy. After I returned the forth one- I gave up. Let me give you a heads up though- when you use it, hand tighten everything, even when you connect it to your water tap. plus, dont overdo, just tighten enough to stay put.

Yes. I use filtered tap water. Some people use distilled water, but I find that tap water works just fine.

This filter is PREVENTATIVE only. It can't do anything for mineral build-up that is already on your humidifier (use vinegar and soak it, then scrub at it with an old toothbrush). But it does a great job of preventing further build-up. I have VERY hard water and everything gets crusted over if water sits in it. These filters keep my humidifier from calcification. You do still have to do periodic cleaning, changing out water, etc., just as you would if you didn't have the filter. And if you have very soft water, you probably don't need one of these. Another option is to just use distilled water in your humidifier, and then you wouldn't need a filter, either. I have used a Crane humidifier without a filter, and I found that with my hard water, I had to scrub it with vinegar weekly.

Yes, I found it to work very well, comparing tap water to distilled water it showed the contrast of 0 to 220 ppm

It should but the filter doesn't last very long when there is a lot of sediment in the water. My Zerowater started to taste bad after a week.

I haven't tested it. I realize that there are benefits from alkaline intake, and believe that the Santevia Filtration unit delivers close to the indicated pH... However, I would use this system even it it were neutral because of the quality of the product and the purity of the water. I love our unit and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all our friends.

I use regular tap water and haven't had any issues with that. It just isn't a very "strong" steamer.

In my opinion, yes. It comes with advice that you can use to detect dissolved solids in the water. Use it with your tap water and then check water from the filter to see the difference.

I use my regular tap water, but I guess that would depend on, the quality of water where you live.
