I am thinking of buying a unit, but what type of filter does the unit uses? How has it performed since you purchased the unit? Thx

Vic, unfortunately, I have membranes and tubing all over my house, thus I have not completed testing. I have every confidence though that this system will work well. The membrane removes 98% of TDS, but the DI cartridge life is purely a function of the supply water.

the filter describes itself ,if you have an aquarium of any size you need this filter it beats attempting to condition your own water I highly recommend it

Very nice system. Uses standard size filters you can get from any water treatment company. Filters last 6-12 months depending on your usage. These are built to last. AFW Filters sends out order forms for replacements and backs full warranty and support.

It has worked GREAT! I would recommend it to anyone, I haven't had it long enough to have to change the filters yet so I'm not sure what kind to replace it with, but no bad comments.

It uses four different filters. First a sediment filter foe large particles. Then a carbon filter for smaller particles and things like chlorine. Then a membrane filter for the smallest solids. Finally a resin filter for any other contamiments.

I beleive this filter uses standard sizes that you can find at most hardware stores. (IE. same filters you fuse for some of the more standard filters in the store). Filter performs better than expected. I use for gardening, fish, as well as for drinking water. Best price for a 4 stage 100 gal an hour filter that comes ready to install and I highly recommend for anyone intending to use for aquarium/ gardening. If used mostly for drinking water I might get something with a tank to install under the sink.

I have not been able to figure out where the filters go on my unit (don't remember model #.) I haven't used them. Sorry no help on your question.

I have a slightly different model that uses the same filter. This filter is nearly the size of the unit, so you only use one. I replace mine every few years. There is also 1" outer filter that wraps around this inner filter that is made of a soft mesh-like fabric material.

John I would also like to know what it is. However, most of these types of filters I have seen generally have a rating of 3. It's about equivalent to the old fiber glass filters, low dust pickup but high flow. I have a 10x6x1 box (in addition to the others) in my house and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find an actual filter for it. Even the builder put in one of these types of filters. I've been here for 10 years now and haven't had any issues with my system or this type of filter for just this one.

I had the same problem recently and replaced the filter and "flo thru unit" and it work fine now. The entire unit is available through Amazon. I think the "flo thru unit" just wears out over time.

I use tap water, I was using filtered but the units (I have 2) use a lot and my filters run about $50. So I started using tap water. Just keep them clean.

You replace the whole unit. No filter here! After using this for 6 months, I switched to the Aquasana AQ-4105 which filters more stuff out and does have replaceable filters (but they cost about $20 more than the unit listed here every six months)

I just use tap water. unit water stays very clean with the filter. It says to replace every season so I do. Don't know if it would last longer.

No I purchased a separate inline filter for it, the unit is great better than one we purchased through our R/O vendor.

I've been using PUR filters for a long time. I don't have any problem with it. After installation, please don't forget to let the water run for the recommended time.May be you have a different issue. Sorry, I don't have a definite answer for youGood luckN.T

The filter that comes with the unit is cleanable and reusable. Just clean the filter with a spray nozzle on a garden hose. Bon chance.

I use the EkoBrew Reusable filters. I have been using the same one daily for over a year now with no problems.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.
