will this one also remove heavy metals ( ie: arsenic,lead etc.) ?

It will remove 99.9% of all chlorine, chemicals and heavy metals. Yes, it will.

I don't really know the answer to this however, without sounding pompous..if it works well & is the best for removing lead, cyst, chlorine & other contaminants for people consummation it should definitely be excellent for plants!

It removes around 91.30% of hexavalent chromium. the water goes through tubes through its multiple filters doesnt touch plastic. havent found any information on bpa but do believe its made from bpa free plastic. www.theperfectwater.com to send email.

No, this is not a water softener. It will not filter out the majority of the heavy minerals in the water.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

The University of Montana and University of North Dakota have a published paper showing that it removes 90% of the arsenic. You can see the published paper here: http://water.montana.edu/pdfs/moretti.pdf

Bill, Yes, this system does remove arsenic and many other inorganic matter. The 5 micron sediment filter is pretty much a standard RO filter and works great. To absolutely prove that its removed..idk, but I bought a TDS water quality tester to measure the water quality difference from my normal faucet...it was 240 and went down to 4 after the 7 stage filtration. Hope this helps.

KDF85 does everything that KDF55 does and more. In additional to soluble heavy metal and chlorine removal it also removes chloramines, iron, manganese, H2S and some light metals like aluminum.

It does not, but you may not needed it depending on where you live. Most good water sources, this isn't an issue. If you are using well water, this may be an issue, but then you'll need something like a reserve osmosis (under the sink) filter, rather than a gravity filter. Most gravity filters (ZeroWater, Brita, Pur) will not remove arsenic in high amounts, but will help with trace amounts, but then trace amounts won't hurt you.

I'm not sure but it also did not clean silver well after soldering. I don't recommend it.

Here are the recent lab results of the Berkey with the black filters: www.waterfilterlabs.com/Big-Berkey-gravity-water-filter-heavy-metals-lab-results.html. States that it removes 100% of lead. There are also the white ceramic filters which were not tested so I don't know about those removing all the lead. This is a webpage from naturalnews.com put out by Mike Adams the Health Ranger

So sorry, but I cannot answer that as I live in the mountains. This shampoo is formulated to remove metals and minerals present in your water.

I don't know. I only used it to remove chlorine. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

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

With the 2 filters on this unit i can't see why it would not reduce the tds i don't know of any filters that completely remove all contaminates

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.

It would depend on which filter you put inside it. I only use a sediment filter in this; so as not to disrupt pressure. I have a second filter in my fridge that I use to filter out the stuff like arsenic
