Does this filter Chlorine taste?

Yes. We switched water filters specifically because I noticed a strong chlorine taste in our water that our Brita did little to nothing to remove. It was so bad I could no longer drink it. I used the chlorine tests I used for our pool and got pretty high Cl readings. After using the Clear2o the chlorine readings went to zero. Also no chlorine taste. There are a few things that are not perfect about the product but it does a great job of clearing out chlorine.

I'm not sure how often our water is chlorinated or treated with other chemicals, but I have never in several years, had any chemical taste after filtering. Water always tastes fresh and clean.

No...but when I bought it..it had 3mo. Warranty and it broke after 2mo. It's very cheaply made.Trust me.

In my opinion yes. The filter is solid carbon. I can't image any other filter at this price that can outperform it.

Yes! It definitely produces the tastiest water we've ever had. The Clear2o also filters water MUCH faster than our Brita water pitchers since the Clear20 uses your faucets water pressure vs. the Brita which only produces water pressure by gravity. Clear2o filters in 30 to 40 seconds vs. a couple of minutes for a comparably sized Brita pitcher... and the Clear2o water tastes better which reflects Consumer Reports high rating of the Clear2o.

yes it reduces chlorine taste but not enough for our taste we stopped using it shortly after buying it and now use a different filter.

Super chlorine filter, I once tossed my coffee made with tap water because of the chlorine taste/smell - no more, not the slightest.

The results will depend on how much chlorine is added to your water. When I lived in the Midwest, I tried one of these and was not happiest with the result. But there was so much chlorine in the water, that it created a light "fog" when the water was run at more than a trickle, and I could smell the chlorine. I bought bottled spring water, and had a chlorine filter for the shower.

I have had this filter on my system for 1.5 years now. The taste is not as delicious as it was before and I am just now having to swap them out. I run it on top of award winning city water, so there aren't incredible amounts of sediment as I imagine other people who use this have. I use it mostly for the taste and removal of any chlorine. The filter fills glasses of water at about 80% of the original speed when first installed 1.5 years ago.

do you mean how the WATER tastes? slightly chlorinated, like piped urban water. but if exposed to the air like in a jug the chlorine diminishes.

yes it does it has to flow from pool into the chlorinator first then into filter

I have no problem with either smell or taste of water from my stainless brita. I'm from NY and the water stinks of some chemicals probably chlorine but all the smell disappears after I filter it in my brita. I'm very satisfied. Just don't forget to change the filter as directed.

I really don't know, but I have one to filter out the bad (chlorine) taste! You might as well have good tasting hot water and then you can split the line after the filter and filter a cold water source also.

No. This manufacturer suggests their Reverse Osmosis system for that, but their data specifically states that Magnesium, Potassium, Chlorides (not Chlorine) and Fluoride are left in the filtered water.

I haven't tried it on different chemicals but I did try it on city tap water that had a heavy chlorine taste. After using the filter, the water tasted much better. No hint of chemical taste. Just remember with this product. If you are hiking, the filter is moving around loosening so pump 4 or 5 times before pumping into your bottle/camel pack. I like this one. My buddies MSR doesn't even come close to the taste I get from the Hiker pro.

Yes, it filters chlorine plus a lot of other bad things. If you want the floride to be removed, you need to buy additional filters.

I did not see good results with this filter. Although it has two carbon filters the chlorine levels stayed the same.

This is my first use of this filter so I am not sure. I am hoping to make it to 6 since I am the only one using the shower, but I will change sooner if I notice a decline in the water quality or begin to smell chlorine as the other responder said.

Although I don't know, my guess is that it does not. Their description of the product only says that it removes chlorine. However, chloramine is evidently a much more difficult toxin to remove from water, involving multiple and expensive filtration steps. So, my guess is that this particular filter probably does not remove chloramine.

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. 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.

It doesn't. I recommend a gold mesh filter or at least brown paper ones that don't contain chlorine.

It seems to work fine. I'm thinking you need a little wiggle room for water movement Yes I got one that takes chlorine and it's evil twin BUT you have to ask for that one, and be aware There is about a month break in for the filter (Oder) after that smooth nice clean water. I live in an area that agressively treats the water and the water has many impurities.....but not for me now!

No, it does not remove chlorine. You would need to install a whole house inline charcoal filter.
