it can reduce it using the dupont wfpfc9001 filter cartridge. about $13.00 bucks

Use the housing but replace the sediment filter with a carbon block filter and you will remove as many chemicals as possible from your city water.

This is a sediment filter. It is not designed for chemicals. A carbon filter(activated charcoal) would be what you want for that.

Not sure all chlorine can be removed - I not sure what Chlorimines are = However I installed two of these Filters in a row - side by side, First one I installed with sediment ( white paper filter ) and used a carbon wrapped filter on the 2nd. They are working great, I change the primary ( white ) every 30 days and inspect carbon but change regardless after 3 months.

Chlorine is listed as one of the chemicals this filters. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing just how much abuse you can subject this thing to and still get potable water to drink.

No. This filter is designed to remove most chlorine deposits and taste associated with additives in regular tap water. These filters/bottle should only be used with tap water. If you are looking for water purification you should go into the camping/hiking section(s) for options.

City water at 50 ppm should be good enough. Read county water report for lead/mercury and other contaminants info. To make it safer and taste better, you may use countertop filter (#CKC2) or Ultrafiltration filter (#CU-A3). Countertop filter removes sediments, rust and dirt (not counted in TDS) and chloride/odd/smell (using activated carbon, like most pitcher, faucet and fridge filters do but with much larger capacity). The Ultrafiltration uses 0.01 micron membrane that can even filter out virus and bacteria (Google "CDC ultrafiltration" and "LifeStraw" for details) without creating waste water so it can be installed anywhere (such as behind fridge). iSpring Water Systems (678) 261-7611 sales@ispringfilter.com City water at 50 ppm should be good enough.

Yes, it is designed so you can remove the filters easily.Just remember to check on the water quality more often once filter is removed.

I do not know exactly how much chlorine is removed by this filter. The filtered water taste is good for me. I lke this filer.Barbara

No, you can use any type of filter, but you must use a water pump rated at 700gph or greater. And yes, you must use some type of filter whether it's the intex paper filters or a sand filter. This saltwater chlorinator only chlorinates the water for you - no need with messing with chemicals!

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

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps.

Yes, removes chlorine with just the normal black filters! use it all the time to filter my city tap water to make the perfect "berkey" water! The other two supplemental filters are for fluorine and arsenic.

Yes you still need to replace it. Distilled water is not treated and often is able to grow more bacteria (no chlorine) so your filter can actually become a breeding ground for bacteria that are put into the air should you not replace it regularly.

I haven't tried it, but the filter is for removing chlorine which means it is filled with activated carbon most likely. You want a deionization filter which removes charged particles that would result in scaling, aka water spots.

Absolutely not. This is a filter, not a water purification unit. Does not remove any bacteria.

Brita filters remove the chlorine taste in some city water beautifully, making it taste as good, if not better than spring water.

Try contacting the company through their website: www.waterwise.com. If chloramine is the new chlorine, then I would think they would like to make sure their filter works for that too.

Yes you can. It will just filter the water more thoroughly essentially making better tasting water.

No, mixing with soap would kill the active ingredient, which is a form of bacteria, do not mix it with anything except clean filtered water. Reverse Osmosis water is the best, if using city water allow the water to sit for at least 24 hours uncovered so the chlorine can evaporate.
