We have a system that filters water; can we use that water?

This machine works like a Keurig. You have to use the reservoir but you can manually fill it with any water.

Normally not. The unit has a onboard filter included. You can always call us at 1 800 560-0436 to consult with a representative about your water quality.

Yes. I use filtered tap water. Some people use distilled water, but I find that tap water works just fine.

Yes if your system uses the standard size filters which are 9.75" to 10" in length (the membrane filter is 10")

Hi Michael -- I'm sorry but I don't know, since we use filtered water -- so I don't use the filters at all.

Yeah, I use tap water for mine. Just be sure to follow the 24-hr soaking instructions on the main filter unit if you're starting with tap water.

You can but this system also filters the iron content. You don't need anything else with this system.

The system is just a water dispenser. You have to get a bottled water service or buy the bottles of water to put on top. If you want to have a filtered water system, you can use this: http://www.amazon.com/Greenway-Water-Dispenser-Filtration-System/dp/B004AFBZ2S/ref=pd_bxgy_k_text_y The two systems together work great.

Yes. Use ours without as we're not beer making, or such, that would require filtering.

I would refer you to the Berkey website. They list all the types of things their filters can deal with. Not knowing what the specifics are, I would not be able to say. You could send them an email. I am sure they would respond. I do know that their filter systems are used worldwide for clean water in remote places.

Yes. The filter is washable and removable. The water will not stay as fresh if the filter is not used.

You can but it will not filter the water due to the fact that the water being filtered is separated by the filter and the inlet on the back side of the pump. If the pump is completely submerged the water will simply flow over the top of the pump and bypass the filter

No. This filter will not accomplish that. You will need a reverse osmosis system to do that. Also, please remember to take important mineral supplements when drinking that highly effective purification system water. The same goes for distilled water. If you can afford a reverse osmosis water purification system, it is the best choice of all for healthy water to drink. Another cost for such luxury is your water bill will go up (if you pay for metered water as I do), because I think it takes five gallons of water to make one gallon of purified water.

Yes, the filters are used to filter out debris, particles, food, pet hair, etc from getting into the pump. It doesn't not change the "water" other than filtering it.

Yes, take out the plastic holding the carbon filter to filter water. Definitely use a filter in the coffee basket when making the coffee.

That's a hard question to answer! Short answer is NO. Long answer is, it depends on the Chemical's molecular size. Since water itself is a chemical and there are chemicals like petrol that are molecularity smaller, they will pass through the filter. Others are bigger and will be filtered. You should always find the cleanest water source possible when filtering!

Yes it can but, you will need to pick up an adapter the set up the filter........In my opinion not worth the effort
