Do you have to use the filter included? Meaning, can I just use it as a water bottle?

I do both and it depends on where you live, whether you need a filter. When I was visiting San Diego (their tap water is not so great) so I used it there. I have used it without the filter as well and can barely tell the difference. I hope this helps you. :)

Of course, just screw the filter off then its a regular water bottle..you can also screw it back on when you need your filter.

You can use it with or without the filter, it's quite convenient! So if you already have purified water then you don't need to bother with the filter. It's my favorite water bottle, I use it every day.

No there's no filter. I'm not sure there'd be enough space to put one on it. I would just filter the water first. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't require a filter, just need to use distilled water and let it dry out after use.

Hi. MY order came with 1 filter so you could use it right away. At the time of purchase, I was not sure, so I ordered a box of 3 so I'd have them. I'm very happy with this pitcher as it's not too big, and with just me, it's plenty big enough! If you have others in the home, just refill as you use the water so it's always cold. Hope you like it too!

Yes actually. It doesn't mention it but I popped the filter out and added a pack of emergency and a bottle of water into it one day. The filter is really easily removable.

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

This is a portable unit that stuctures water not a filter for another unit. You just pour unstrctured water into the top and have another container under the funneled part. I usually use two water bottles. It works perfectly. You can carry it in your purse or suitcase when traveling. I wouldn't put it in the checked suitcase but in the carry on suitcase because I would worry about it being damaged in route. I have been extremely happy with mine for drinking water and water I use for my plants. You can definitely taste the difference between the unstructured and structured water. I would highly recommend it

Yes, a filter came with it. I have filtered water from my refrigerator door so I never replaced the filter in the machine. It works great.

As far as I know, there is no filter. The manual says you should use distilled water in it.

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

Of course. I don't have the material handy. I am currently in Nevada, and my bottle is in CA. It is guaranteed to filter out down to beyond the smallest microbes no other filtering system available on the market. The British fellow that developed this filtering system did so on the battle front in Afghanistan. Don't hold me to the country, but he did a fine job. I filtered water from Lake Mead in Nevada. One of the things I noticed most: I didn't crave water as much as I do when I drink from the faucet or water bottles.

Yes it is the last step to the water processing, although in the 20 last years i have used one I have not needed the filter. It is there to smooth out the taste using carbon. This is very much a personal preference

I suppose you could use the water flavorings but it might be difficult to mix well since the filter (& straw) extends to the bottom of the water bottle. That is just my guess because I have not tried this.

I actually don't use the filter. I used the one it gave me, but it only lasted a month or so, then I tossed it. The waterer works fine without it.

Yes! That's exactly how we use it. We have never installed the filter since we have water delivery as well.

I probably wouldn't, I don't know if the filter is strong enough to handle that. I mainly use it so that it tastes better when I pour water fountain water into my Brita or when I'm living in dorms and have to use the water from the tap.It is handy to have though and saves you lots if your the type that buys packs of water bottles like I used to.It also makes you healthier as your most likely to pick it up and drink from it throughout the day!
