Do you have to put in a filter?

Absolutely yes - you must insert a filter no matter what type of tip you're using our else the house will eventually clog.

sure, but will get stuck in your filter. You will have to clean the filter quickly

No filters needed. The water container must be cleaned out periodically which has a built in filter (screen).

You can buy a filter for it, but it is not required to make it work. I use distilled water in mine and there is no danger.

Hi Mary - no you don't have to use the filter but I do because even pure water has minerals that can build up and clog the water inlet. This is my second one - the first lasted over 15 years. makes the best coffee - enjoy

You most likely will need a filtering box to make it work. That is what I am using and it works great!

No, you don't NEED IT but you get a little fine grounds without it. Can't see wasting the money of filters....

No, mine didn't. But you can buy a good, cheap filter on here. Very important that you do.

I don't believe their is a filter . only a water demineralization cartridge in that unit . if you go too the unit info from manufacturer it will say no filter to clean ..

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.

Mine came with a filter. I didn't install, but the person who did seemed to have everything he needed (i.e. he didn't tell me we needed other parts/equipment). Filters lasts about 6 mos.

No filter. We use it for a single Betta fish, so it's not an issue. Needs to be cleaned about every month.

There is a fan in the unit. If you want to use a filter, it would have to be custom made, and attached to the backside of the unit.

Thank you for your question! A filter is not required for this system to operate properly.

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!
