No, I've used both spring water and filtered water and the coffee has be great!

I have used both: spring water and water from my Britta pitcher. Usually, I use spring water with no problems (and have used Delonghi products for several years now).

Actually calling it a filter is a misnomer, a filter selectively removes (think of a sieve). This item does not remove anything, actually it adds something to the water: it adds vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Adding ascorbic acid to the water neutralizes the chlorine. If you want to know a little bit more about this, look at the page: http://www.fs.fed.us/t-d/pubs/html/05231301/05231301.html

take top off filter clean fingers and rinse out filter leave filter drain open, i usually re-assemble loosely untill spring start up. leave no water in filter, i live where filter stays outside all winter long and is exposed to snow and freezing temperatures. i also cover it with a tarp for added protection, it will be fine for spring start up.

I have a softener and a reverse osmosis system so I use water from the RO system for the iron. I used the same filtered water for Rowenta that the new one replaced and never had any problems or had to clean it the 10 years we owned it. If I were going to use bottled water I would use distilled. It's cheaper and purer than spring water.

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

The filters are water filters that sits on the top of the re-usable basket and are supposed to filter out the Chlorine. From the description of the SJX it sounds like it already has a water filtration system built in so the water filters, although they will probably work, would be superfluous.

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.

Yes I do. I just purchased one a couple months ago. Our water in our town has so much chlorine content in it that you can smell it in the shower. So, I bought one for our shower head and one for outside hose bib. They both worked wonders. No more chlorine smell in shower, and no more burning and yellowing of plants and flowers. I would highly recommend a Ecoone filter. Hope you enjoy yours as we do ours.

I can see the reason for the long wait. If you're using tap water, there's going to be chlorine. Your charcoal filter will eventually adsorb all the chlorine out of the water, but not right away. The wait is so the Chlorine is completely gone out of the main tank and doesn't kill any of the SafeStart bacteria. The longer you wait, the less Chlorine.

I shake loose the filter and then separate it and pull spring. I bought a replacement filter for when I wash it because I wait 24 hrs for it to dry. I vac daily. I use a drop of dawn and warm water when washing every week.

Filter - I know nothing about being able to use a filter and to my knowledge the manual mentions nothing about being able to use a filter. Maybe one could adapt a filter for it. I either buy Spring water, pre-filtered water or I filter water through my Brita filter to fill my jugs. BJ

No. I use spring water or filtered. I usually use a bottle from the store specifically for this; you don't use much so it lasts a long time. However, when I run out, I just use the water from my zero filter.

No you do not need chlorine. You can call the owners up on there product and they are very helpful. I do use a little bit of chlorine once in awhile if you don't have an ozone.

If you only use distilled water, a filter is not required. It is recomended if you use tap water.

I don't think this a large enough filter to do the task you are asking of it. You would want to filter it anyway before the water heater, not on the other side of it when the water is hot. We have a whole house filter that filters out chlorine and chloramines. This filter is in my lay opinion only adequate enought to water some plants ( ie vegetables etc) that you would water with a garden hose.

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

I've had both and this filter is a lot easier to take care of from my point of view. The water tastes great...no chlorine smell or taste. I've also found the cost to be less, but we did have a company service our reverse osmosis system.
