Does it filter "well" water as good as "tap" water?

Honestly, I don't have any well water to try it on but I would think so. We have a lot of minerals in our water and we live in a farming area so there is always the possibility of fertilizer run off. We use softener salt and the water that is NOT filtered leaves a heavy residue (dishwasher, flower pots) but the filtered water does not on the glassware we drink from.

I guess it depends on whats in your well water. The Brita filters are certified to remove copper and mercury and reduce chlorine and zinc taste. There is a possibility of contaminants in your ground water the filters cant handle. Tap water is routinely tested

I guess I cannot help you there, we are in the country, however are served by a rural water system. The water comes from the river and is treated a lot. Well water is typically hard. you may have to change the filter more often. Hope I helped.

I have filter on my tap water and there is a filter in the coffee maker. There is to much junk in plain tap water in my house so I wouldn't use tap

Marsha: I removed the water filter and don't use it - the unit works a lot better without it! But then my well water is filtered with an in-house filter in the basement. If your water is in good shape, just remove the filter and forget it!

Hello Jorge, it filters the water on the fly. Simply fill your container from any tap, stream, river or lake, even in third world countries, and enjoy safe, clean drinking water straight away.

We use county tap water and/or reverse osmosis water. It has a filter. I assumed it's purpose is to filter impurities. If you are using well water with a high iron content, that may reduce the life of the filter.

you can use filtered tap water (like from a brita) . it works better than just tap water.

No, if you taste the filtered water and find it nothing wrong then there is really nothing wrong with it. But if it tasted like tap water, that means it's not doing the job.

The water cannot come out of the filter as fast as the faucet, due to the filtering element. I found it to be ok, but not if you are in a big hurry all the time.

it doesn't it change the PH. Zerowater filters your tap water and removes the undissolved solids. Gives your water a really good taste

I have only installed this filter a few weeks ago, looking at the glass it removes a lot of sediment,I have a well. So far so good, I am happy with this filter,I would recommend it to a friend.

It's the whole thing...what you see screws onto your tap. It works pretty good. A green light blinks when the filter is working and when it turns red you can taste the difference. Depending on your family size and usage, it lasts a few month. It's not so expensive that you shouldn't give it a try...see if it works for your family. My city water isn't too bad but I taste flouride and this eliminates the taste.

Yes it does both produce pure H2O and filter fluoride, as well as filtering chlorine and other contaminants out of the water. The only possible downside is the water being too soft (low electrical conductivity/minerals), which I add trace minerals to my water after distilling for balance and to re-ionize the water and make it less soft.

No it should not, unless your tap water tastes amazing. The water coming from my Tap Master filter tastes noticeably cleaner than our tap water. You should get a water test kit to find out for sure, and return it if it's not working properly.

Yes. I use filtered tap water. Some people use distilled water, but I find that tap water works just fine.

Yes, but to an extent. My water here in DC is VERY cloudy and after installing this filter only a little tiny section in the middle of the ice cubes were still a little cloudy, but still a HUGE difference using this filter. I'd recommend getting a Stage-lll filter if your water is that bad, which I plan to do when the Stage-l filter nears its end of life.

We use this filter for water coming n from our well. The fine sand can kill pressure washers and clog water sprinkler systems. This filter works well. It used to be carried by Lowes but no longer. We got ours through Amazon. It arrived very quickly. Great service.

I am not qualify to answer that question, I live in the country side of FL and we have well water. My coffee maker calls for filtered water and I used for that.
