Can you use this product without the water filter cartridge?

yes, you can use the cool mist humidifier without the filter cartridge but I suggest you use distilled water, no problem

If you mean the demineralization cartridge -I'd say not unless you want to dust everyday. The round inside the tank filter keeps the water fresh and free of mold, etc. If you clean the unit daily I suppose you could get away without the cartridges. They don't cost that much and I use them with much success. Hope this is helpful.

You still need to use a paper filter, though I think you can purchase the permanent filter basket separately.

Hi Mary - no you don't have to use the filter but I do because even pure water has minerals that can build up and clog the water inlet.This is my second one - the first lasted over 15 years. makes the best coffee - enjoy

Yes, you can. If you like the taste of the water from your refrigerator, go for it! These filters are optional.

It's perfectly fine to operate with no filter. You may need to clean the foam screen on the intake pump (which disassembles for cleaning) a little more often - and even that's negligible - but using this product without a filter doesn't cause any problems. In truth, the primary function of the filter is to make the water "taste better" to your pet, much as Brita brand filter pitchers do for us humans. If you wanted to, you could even put a mesh bag with activated carbon filter media (available in aquarium supply) into the filter reservoir space, but there's really no need.

Yes you can as long as you have the converter that comes with the water filter. The end of the faucet does screw off for this purpose.

No, filtered water is not required. I've been using plain tap water - and the filter that came with this great coffee maker and fits on top of the coffee basket.. Think I will buy more of those filters when time runs its course on this one (I believe its use is for one month). Hope you enjoy your Mr. Coffee Maker as much as I'm enjoying mine.

We've never tried without filter, but it should work just fine without it. Hope this helps.

There is a cartridge filter that you take out and use a hose to clean it. The filter works great and well worth the cost.

Yes you can leave the cartridge in. The cartridge isn't exposed so it won't dry out.

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.

Yes. It's better to use the wrench to remove/install the filter housing to change the filter cartridge.

No you do not filters. You do need to use distilled water. This product works very well. You will love this product. You do need the oil that they recommend for this product. It can run not stop for 3 hours then shut off when the water is low or it can run for 7 hours.

None of the cartridge filters remove TDS. If you want that, you need reverse osmosis. It's a choice. Some people don't want to remove minerals, just organics and lead, some do.
