Will this filter out coliform bacteria?

Sorry but I really think this is question that needs to be answered by the manufacturer. Even if I knew I would say as to incorrectly answering this question could lead to a lawsuit.

Hi again Wizard! Our ceramic beads remove bacteria from water due to ceramics being able to generate Far Infrared Rays (FIR) through the activation of water. We also have third party lab/testing results that show the reduction of bacteria in water that we would be more than happy to show you if you provide us an email address. Here are also some insightful articles on ceramic beads What are ceramic beads and how they work - http://mineralwaterfilter.co.uk/how-it-works/what-are-ceramics/ Ceramic Filtration - http://www.cdc.gov/safewater/ceramic-filtration.html

No, it just kills the micro organisms. Might try an activated carbon filter.

Yes, I believe so. It is very powerful. However, you need to make sure the materials are all dried up completely. You can also change the filter more frequently (maybe once in two or three months) to make sure bacteria would not colonize inside.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

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.

I know you asked this months ago but I think all the answers given were incorrect and it is an important question. The product description lists aesthetics, chemicals, dissolved solids and radiological contaminants not biological contaminants. If you look at the Seychelle website, they describe their filters. The advanced filter removes bacteria and viruses but this one is meant to be used with potable water. They now have a combination advanced/radiological that they call "extreme" which covers everything. I apologize to Seychelle if I am incorrect, but if you read the product description carefully they do not say that this filter removes biological contaminants. Seychelle has the only filter I"m aware of that covers radiological. I'm about to order this and will use it with water purification tablets if I'm drinking non potable water.

I don't believe so. The water filter is designed to remove organic impurities from treated water. If you are experiencing rust, it may be coming from your water heater or pipes and needs to be addressed from that channel.

As long as there is waste producing the ammonia that the bacteria feed on are present and there is water flowing through the media yes it will work in your filter... I don't know if they will fit in your basket though so you might want to check that out.

dont think so.sounds like the filter needs cleaning,,,this is for the pipes going into a installed central unit.

I have been researching small filter as I work with various manufacturers of larger reverse osmosis systems. Frankly, this product scares me; you need at least 0.1 micron to filter out bacteria. That still leaves viruses, some chemicals, silica, and various dissolved solids. The only way to deal with some of these other contaminants is to use reverse osmosis.

These filters are basically usede as sediment or first level filters, in other words they remove larger particulate but do not affect flavor nor do they remove bacterial issues. You should always test water intended for consumption before "trying it out".

The filter filters the water going into the bowl. I don't know if the filter will do that. Also I use mine for my two cats. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Mine came set up for recirculating. The filter will not remove all odor but will help eliminate most of it. Charcol filte can be replaced when needed

from their disclaimer .............."This product does not filter viruses and bacteria other than Giardia, and E Coli"

You can visit www.propurusa.com to contact the appropriate person. Here is the website's description of this particular filter: They consist of a ceramic composite with a special mix of carbon to provide the most efficient filtration possible, silver impregnated to help prevent bacteria growth and are self-sterlizing. I contacted Propur's customer service (once) and was very impressed by their promptness and help.

It does filter some types of chemicals. I bought it to filter water in a survival situation, so I mainly wanted it to filter protozoa and the like. I would suggest some type of charcoal filter system for better tasting water and chemical filtering. I must tell you that I am no expert. I only know what I have read. I hope this helps.
