I would say yes, the water you pour into the coffee maker might be filtered but the water has to be circulated through the coffee machine and might come into contact with something inside the machine. The filter will eliminate those articles from inside the machine. Hope this helps.

It is an option to use the filter disk. We recommend using them all the time simply because they help remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. For better results your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approximately 30 brew cycles).

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..

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

I use filtered water as well and still use the charcoal filters. They help keep the water fresh throughout the week in between cleanings.

you can use filtered tap water (like from a brita) . it works better than just tap water.

If you are referring to the small charcoal filters at the end of the wand - this is users choice - if your water is clean then I doubt you need it. Try it without for a while and see if it makes a difference.

Nope. No filter required. Nothing required but water. We love ours! Works well.

Yes but if you have hard water it might cause build up in your machine. We used filtered water or bottled water.

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.

I would contact the company and clarify. I use filtered tap water, but to be sure, I'd believe the company over a description on Amazon.

I use the filter to slow contamination. With filtered water the internal filter will last a long time. You didn't include the dimensions in question but it is taller than deeper, and deeper than wide. Hope that helps.

I have not needed a filter and I use only 20lb tanks. Just use the provided hose and it'll be fine.

That's what the directions say, and we happen to have a nozzel in the kitchen for filtered water, but once when I forgot and used regular it was fine. I think it's just suggested because if you have particularly hard water, the minerals would build up in the unit, and be difficult to clean.

I don't know. I stopped using them a long time ago and just use my own filtered water.

You don't have to use it. I use spring water any way to brew my coffee, and I do have a filter, but it never gets dirty. If you have lousy water, you do want to use the filter, in my other house I used tap water and the filter worked and needed to be changed about every 3-4 months.
