does this unit have a block charcoal filter?

not sure. All I know is that it produces great tasting water, and that's from a garden hose attached a boat.

Yes, it does. It comes with a washable foam pre filter as well as a MERV rated pleated filter that should be changed 1-2 times per year depending on how much your unit runs.You can opt to purchase additional filters for future, but it does come with everything you need to get going.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

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

I haven't used that model. There is a tag on the machine at the base that will list the filter it uses. I hope that helps.

as an aside to the previous question. I just looked at the DrinkWell Zen fountain and they show the Charcoal filters as replacements.

It has a small filter in the water reservoir but no "wall" filter. Works well after getting the adjustments right.

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

This one does not. If u look at the picture of the box, in the bottom corner there is a pic of a green stand up filter- that's what this one looks like. Same company make the one u are referring to though.

The Sawyer filters are not made with charcoal. While other portable filters have charcoal, they lack in amount of media and adequate dwell time. Therefore, they only remove small amounts of heavy metals, pesticides, etc. (when used in real life applications).

it does not, it is only the filter and i suggest you purchase a spare set of filters

No, you would want to use an iron filter inline before this unit. Thank you! Mark Bunner Abundant Flow Water Systems AFW Filters 785-735-9769

Not really, it drips from the cooler tube into the spigot, the plastic spigot has a glass insert that holds the charcoal filter. I know because I dropped mine and watched it fly into pieces across the floor, luckily they sell replacements(the curse words are free of charge).

No it does not. I buy the 4 cup filters and that works great. I like it because it works fine for one or two people and it's small for my small kitchen.

Yes it does. I would order a extra set of filters as they are hard to find in local stores.

It should come with two or four charcoal filters which gets rid of the majority of contaminants, although fluoride and chlorine are additional filters which may/or may not be included in your purchase. whatever the case you should be able to set this up in a flash. The charcoal filters look like black tapered cylinders that attach to the top portion of the Berkley system while the other filters fit at the lower half.
