I use a PUR on my faucet. Do I even need this for this product? Just want to get water as clean &amp; alkaline as possible.

I would recommend getting an inexpensive alkaline testing kit and test the water from the PUR. If it tests sufficiently alkaline, then no. If it tests closer to neutral, I recommend the H2gO product. I use and enjoy mine very much.

You will only use what come from the small "filtered" faucet. I used the center connection on my existing faucet. Mine has supply lines on the outside, and blends for the warm faucet output in the center. The box contained a fitting for that center. I used that one and attached there which was very simple. So I turn on cold only to filter and on with the Ispring tap and fill my refrig dispenser.Note: To reduce wasted water (I already had one), I use an inexpensive shutoff valve ($9.00 Home Depot)on the end of the regular faucet.

flow is about the same as the pur, and yes you can us hot water in the unfiltered position. The DuPont mount is far better than pur.

Purified is probably better but we use tap and so far it is fine. It is important to change it daily.

You can use it with or without the filter, it's quite convenient! So if you already have purified water then you don't need to bother with the filter. It's my favorite water bottle, I use it every day.

It ties directly into your homes plumbing. I set up a 3 part whole house filtering system; 1st a large carbon filter, 2nd a reverse osmosis filter and finally the UV light filter/purifier. I tested the water several time after the installation with test kits I had ordered and found the results were great. I hope this helps.

I only use distilled water. There is an element that can be cleaned, so I would assume if you took a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it every few days it would be okay.

Yes. Unscrew the water outlet head and use the proper head adapter that comes with the PUR kit. assemble as instructed. Mine works great. Enjoy!!!

We pre-filter our water even before putting it into the distiller, so we don't get much build up after a single distillation, but I have friends who have said they experience what you do when using tap water. I'd clean it after ever distillation, and I'd use the product they recommend. It works great. We still do other cleaning with white vinegar, but we think that the stuff in the jar works better.

I do both and it depends on where you live, whether you need a filter. When I was visiting San Diego (their tap water is not so great) so I used it there. I have used it without the filter as well and can barely tell the difference. I hope this helps you. :)

As you already know high alkaline water will leave mineral deposits on your plumbing fixtures. You could therefore make a valid assumption that it would also do the same in your filter unit and reduce the effectiveness of the filtering process. However you should contact the manufacturer directly and get and answer directly preferably by email. A reverse osmosis unit is a better solution for your situation if you have the room and the cash.

Make sure that you are usig seachem prime as your water conditioner. Prime and purigen are designed to work together. Any other water conditioner will render the purigen useless.

I don't use it, aerates just fine without (test under kitchen tap both ways----seem the same). Believe it's for just slight extra air mix going into venturi.

Pur purifies water. This one purifies AND alkalinizes water, if there is such a word. :-)

I just received my scooba and the manual clearly states that plain tap water may be used or vinegar/water. I believe that other cleaners would be too caustic to the electrodes inside where as the Clorax brand is buffered correctly. I first cleaned with the supplied clorax (nice scent) and then with plain water and BOTH did a super job.

Sorry to say I returned the unit and purchased something else. However most units can use tap water but the real issue is the component in the water minerals, calcium, lime etc. So u have to clean it every couple of days or the build up affects the operation

More likely, no. You could retrofit and do a few adapters/ reducersto get it hooked up, but that is a lot of work. And would you use the water for everything, such as washing dishes? You could significantly reduce filter life when you use common application with RO. Much easier to install the drinking faucet.
