Does the Waterchef c7000 remove salt and flouride? How easy is it to remove it from the faucet to wash my sink or wash dishes by hand?

I do not recall reading about it removing salt and fluoride, but I am not a hundred percent sure. There is a valve that attaches to the sink female or male head, so you will not have to remove anything to wash your hands. To acquire filtered water, all you do is pull out the pin. Very convenient, not bad looking on my countertop.

You can just put it on the table besides your sink. So you don't need to move it to wash dishes or sink. There is a valve accompanied to let you very easily choose purified water or normal water. So you don't need to remove the whole filter.

Is effective in removing fluoride. No too sure about salt as my water supply has no traces of salt before. Is easy for both workings for me.

Cotton swabs and a toothbrush cleans the pump perfectly fine. The ceramic parts are easily scrubbed with a kitchen sponge or in the dishwasher. Save your money, no need for any specialty tools - everything is accessible and easy to get at with household items!

The directions say not to put it in the dishwasher. It rinses off mostly with warm water and maybe a very mild soap. It cleans easily.

I hand wash mine as I would be concerned about its size for the dishwasher. It is an easy enough item to quickly clean in the sink and then put away to get it out of my way. I'm wary of exposing it to the temps in the dishwasher, too.

I also haven't had a problem. I've had mine nearly 6 months and it looks practically brand new inside and out. I did have a little discoloration after a few dishes I've prepared. To remedy that, I poured a little baking soda right onto a (not-too-wet) normal sponge, and it scrubbed right out. The baking soda acts as an exfoliant (as well as of course, an odor-removing deodorizer) and provides a nice, soft scrubbing action. rinse it all away. Hand dry.

The dishwasher I bought came with a dispenser which I fill about once a month. It uses the salt gradually as needed and it really helps keep my flatware shiny and clean, as well as the dishes. Our water is hard and we don't have a softener for the house, so this was a good alternative. I wouldn't use it if your dishwasher isn't designed for it. Google your make and model if you aren't sure. (Peggy Bolcoa)

Yes, very easy. I just put it my sink with Dawn and it came clean with just soaking.

Yes--add 1/4 c to bottom of dishwasher-takes all the calcium spots off the dishes

It does not show water spots and is very easy to clean, usually just rinse with water. We have never had to use an abrasive to clean the sink. We just use dishwashing soap. We have used the sink for about 6 months and no scratches. We love it!

It cleans beautifully. There is a spout on one corner to pour the oil out of the fryer into a funnel/strainer that was provided. I have never had anything stick to it that couldn't be wiped out with a dish cloth & soap & water in the sink (don't emmerse). The basket has a removable handle that you can put into the dishwasher along with the basket. I have put both of them in the top and bottom shelves of the dishwasher & they come clean every time. The filter and lid go into the dishwasher too although it isn't recommended to put the filter in the dishwasher I have never had a problem in doing it and it comes clean every time.

Easy. Washes off with a Lille soap and water. Also works to put in dishwasher.

GM! Hyonah. I haven't done that with Fissler, at least not yet. I've had similar experiences with other cookware. Usually with beans and oatmeal. I first try usual heavy scrubbing with a sturdy nylon scouring pad, like the blue colored 3M restaurant style ones and dishwasher powder like Cascade. I use very hot water also (gloves recommended). Afterwards, I make a paste with water and baking soda. I use a finer scouring pad like the green side of the yellow/green scouring sponges. Never easy but leaves pots/pans very clean.Nick

I only wash mine by hand. I have put the gold tone filters in the dishwasher and it cleans them very well, however, it seems to me that the filter will not last as long as it does if washing it by hand. The harsh detergent used for dishwashers seems to cause the fine mesh to break and the filter wears out quicker. I would recommend hand washing only.

I honestly have not even thought of that. It is just so easy and quick to clean by hand, that it never occurred to me to try the dishwasher. I have a dish brush that gets into all the threads and (almost nonexistent ) grooves, so it's super fast clean up. Sorry!

I have a Thermidor dishwasher (made by Bosch). It has a receptacle I fill periodically. The DW senses and dispenses according to need. I have very hard water and go through a bag every 6-8 weeks. Due to hard water, my old dishwasher required repairs 3-4 times a year including 4 new motors. I'd rather spend the money on salt to prevent problems rather than pay for expensive and frequent repairs. And dishes come out cleaner. Very pleased with the combo of new DW with built-in water softener.

But just to be clear. This machine doesn't remove flouride. My whole house filtration system does though.....and I seriously encourage everyone to get the fluoride out...!

I found that this detergent does not work well in a traditional dishwasher. I don't have a salt dispenser and had to rewash several loads 3 times. I do not have a high end dish washer. Hope this info helps.
