Does this system filter out arsenic?

Bill, Yes, this system does remove arsenic and many other inorganic matter. The 5 micron sediment filter is pretty much a standard RO filter and works great. To absolutely prove that its removed..idk, but I bought a TDS water quality tester to measure the water quality difference from my normal faucet...it was 240 and went down to 4 after the 7 stage filtration. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if it filters out arsenic or not, but would imagine it would remove it. What levels of arsenic are in question?? Have you asked the manufacturer?? Would be interested in knowing the answer. Thanks

The basic answer is "Yes". The set of cartridges first removes large particles with a 5 micron filter, then uses a carbon filter to remove chlorine and a few trace organics, and last of all the RO membrane cartridge stops most of the ions dissolved in the water. If you have soft water then no calcium or magnesium will get through the system (a water softener does not remove arsenic). There will be trace amounts of sodium and potassium with counter ions of bicarbonate and chloride left in the water. Any other compounds will be so small as to not be detectable even with advanced testing equipment. The basic answer is "Yes".

it will filter out most....unless you have a VERY expensive filter (reverse osmosis),etc... you will not get ALL(100%) of flouride out

Yes it does, this one is an all in one Sand/Salt filter system. I actually bought the one it comes with separately because it did not say anything about the saltwater system in the description and had to return it because the pool came with it.

I don't know, but any reverse osmosis system that I know of, filters more impurities than any other system. In my review I suggested calling the manufacturer. They are real people who answer the phone, there is nothing automated, and they can answer that question.

No, I do not think that this filter will remove any significant amount of minerals dissolved in the water; nor does it "purify" water.

Thank you for your question! A filter is not required for this system to operate properly.

Have expensive filtering system on sink so do not need individual filters. Sorry!

No. This manufacturer suggests their Reverse Osmosis system for that, but their data specifically states that Magnesium, Potassium, Chlorides (not Chlorine) and Fluoride are left in the filtered water.

Yes Marge. We use a carbon filter as it removes chlorine, iron,organics from our private well. I trust you and your family are doing well. Kindest regards, Lynn

No it does not. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. Filters for lead-free water are NSF 53. For more info: http://www.nsf.org/services/by-industry/water-wastewater/residential-water-treatment/residential-drinking-water-treatment-standards/

My system puts out water that reads 000ppm on a quality dissolved solids meter. I would think it will remove most everything from the water.

It does appear to remove sulphur, but our levels may not be the same as yours. This is a very easy and simple filter to install and change. I would not recommend as a replacement for a salt-based system, but rather as a secondary filter.

Not sure about the things you are asking about. My understanding is that the filters are for filtering out heavy metals from the water such as lead, murcery etc. It definatly makes the water taste MUCH better regardless..hope that helps!

technicaly iam not sure ,,but i guess it will make double safe filteration ,,but you should ask a technician better,,thank you

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

I believe it used to contain a small amount of arsenic, but has since changed its formula to omit it. I found that somewhere on the internet when I did my research before buying.

I don't believe so. The water filter is designed to remove organic impurities from treated water. If you are experiencing rust, it may be coming from your water heater or pipes and needs to be addressed from that channel.
