Hello there,Is it possible to turn off the filter function?So for example when I'm washing the dishes I don't waste filtered water for dish washing ?

The filter function is only in use when the lever is flipped on the right side (its the black portion on the right in the picture). The filter has two separate spouts it uses, one for the unfiltered water and one for the filtered water, when you flip the switch.

Yes, it's very easy to turn off the filter. There's a knob on the side of the unit that you turn into the on or off position. I keep the filter off at all times and only turn it on to supply drinking water.

Actually,I have not been able to get mine to do anything. I have to probably read the instructions better. so far, it has done nothing. Not much help to you! Sorry!I do believe once I get it figured out,all it counts is the date and when to change the filter.

Yes. The black tab on the right of the unit pictured flips from vertical to horizontal in order to switch filtered/not.

Cleaning he filter is more than just running water through it. The way I do it is I fold 3 or 4 paper towels along side the sink and I put dish washing soap on the filter and scrub with my hands. After rinsing the soap from the filter I bang the filter hard against the towels to see if anything is left in the filter and there always is. Repeat the process until the is no more junk coming out of the filter. This will keep the water clear and clean.

Unfortunately no you can't choose between the funtions. when you turn it on/off it always apply to both functions simultaneously .

No. It will always go back water saving mode after the shower turn off. But it is the only mode I use.

There is no "filter", per se. Just pop out the "guts" from the lid with a quarter turn and wash. Instructions do say not to wash the "cup" in the dishwasher. Takes seconds to hand wash.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

I think it is a little misleading, but it has a function to turn the filter manually with out removing it and I guess that is supposed to clean it a little. Really though it doesn't do much of anything. I just take the filter out and shake it into a trash can.

On the lower right hand back corner there is an on/off switch that I use when I'm not needing hot water. You can also scroll through on the menu at " set time" and the "off" option will come up.

The dishwasher will heat the water on its own, so you can turn on hot, cold, or both. It also controls the water flow. Having the sink on doesn't make any water run. The dishwasher will turn the water off and on as the cycle runs. So you don't need to worry about turning it off right away. It will have the water stopped when it's done. Just make sure you turn the faucet off and hit the de-pressurize button before you unhook the hose from the sink. I've never used cascade packs, but now you have me wondering if that it what the tiny hanging basket is for.

I'm having no issues with the filtering speed. It may slow down with time but a fresh one filters a cup's-worth of water in no time.

No. You can't really over filter your water. The worst that can happen is that you won't need to clean the filter as often, which is not a bad thing.

Nope. I believe you would have to turn the water off and then on again. I can't recall b/c I haven't used it in a long time -- it stopped working a few months in, and there are no returns!

I agree with other reviewers- it is manually operated- on and off. By the way- mine did not require filters as it has a little wire basket- just empty and rinse!
