I've never used one before and im wondering if you have to get filters for this. If so where from?

I'v had mine for a couple months now and have no need to change the filter, It's a metal type filter and completely washable, just rinse and re-use I use mine for loose leaf tea and works wonderful. Hope this helps

No the mash on the filter is very fine. You don't need a filter but if you wanted to use one you could but I don't know why you would.

I just used an in line filter from lowes. Nothing out of the ordinary and independant of the cooler itself.

I called Hamilton Beach and they told me there are filters for this item. I think they are incorrect. I will make my own filters from a sheet of cut-to-fit carbon as suggested by another writer.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

I believe the filter you need (if you wish to use one) is called the "Basket Filter." I know the unit comes with it's own metal filter but I find them messy to empty and clean, and I also believe that the paper filters contribute to a better tasting brew.

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

No. It does not come with filter. I clean mine out, let them thoroughly dry and reuse them. No problems.

I bought this for a friend and don't remember a filter. Sorry I cannot be more informative.

When I bought this late last year, I had the same question. The unit did not come with the filter - which seemed odd. I bought the filter later on. Hope that helps.

As far as I've seen, you shouldn't need a filter after the unit. We have one anyway, to catch anything that goes through during the backwash process (while the unit is not filtering the water).

I have several in this series and none of them have filters. The only place where I ran into filters is in the bottle filling stations.

No filter. Have to purchase a seperate in line filter. I bought a culigan that should last me about 8-9 months for around $20

You can get a filter, but the depth of the lens hood obviates the need for it. I just got back from Australia shooting with the lens in all weather and conditions and did not use a filter. Better images that way as well.Regards,Evan

The only filter mine had was some screen below the power supply. I guess you can make your own from a furnace filter or something.

Hi Janet. This unit does not have filters that need to be replaced. Thanks.

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.
