Is this a vitamin C water filter? What does HF 501 mean?

HF stands for High Flow. Yes, the cartridge does dispense Vitamin C. These things are awesome, particularly the Lemon/Citrus cartridge. I've put them in both my showers and give them as house warming gifts. Sears sells these for between $65 and $85, so they are a great deal from Amazon

It is a filter and infuses vitamin c into the water as you shower. The HF 501 is simply the model number i believe. It is a nice product we love it.

It's the whole thing...what you see screws onto your tap. It works pretty good. A green light blinks when the filter is working and when it turns red you can taste the difference. Depending on your family size and usage, it lasts a few month. It's not so expensive that you shouldn't give it a try...see if it works for your family. My city water isn't too bad but I taste flouride and this eliminates the taste.

The "filter" is just a simple Mesh filter that is attached to the Lid that matches the Geometry of the Spout. The Mesh is about the same density as a french press filter, it is only going to be good for filtering out larger particles from your water... but if you are using water that has crap in it... uhh.. you may have other issues :P

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

The Lifesaver bottle has 3 filters: the purification cartridge, carbon filter, and a pre-filter disc. The 4000 liters is for the purification cartridge. The 250 liters is for the carbon filter. "The Lifesaver Bottle is fitted with a 4000UF replaceable purification cartridge that removes bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, fungi, and all other microbiological water-borne pathogens from your water. The Lifesaver bottle also comes with an activated carbon filter made of a high specification activated carbon block, which reduces a broad spectrum of chemical residues including: pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds, medical residues, and heavy metals such as lead and copper. The Carbon filter also eliminates bad tastes and odors from contaminates such as chlorine and sulphur."

This is a carbon filter to improve the taste of the water. If your water has high mineral content, you'll need a more comprehensive solution (water softener/reverse osmosis - hard to say at this point). In my area, I would talk to a local irrigation supply house - they can connect you with someone to test your water. Once you have that test, they can point you toward a solution. The solution all depends on your budget. The least cost option - don't wash you car in sun and dry it off with a towel.

Yes, this is a 1900, MRV12 filter with a pressure drop of .21 and captures 90% of all particles. I called Filtrete and asked. Too bad Amazon couldn't figure that out! Also, the "Healthy Living" line is made only for Amazon, that's why you won't see it on Filtrete's website. It's just their normal filters with seemingly less information and different packaging.

They use reverse osmosis purified water not USPHonestly I don't know anything about it but here is what I found hope it helps. I switched from Vitamin shop brand because of price. http://www.nutrigold.co.uk/water-filters/reverse-osmosis-water-filter.html

The bottle does not provide any information. I will be using a different multivitamin after this bottle is empty because the vitamin C is in an incomplete form. The replacement is from Nutrigold. You may want to look into them. nutrigold.com

Katadyn Carbon Cartridge is useful downstream to the water you are trying to filter. THAT bladder of unfiltered water will be stinky until you get home and can backflow it with trusted water. You could always prefilter turbid water with a towel or coarse filter prior to using the product. With a 0.02 micron filter, particulates will clog it rather quickly unless you prefilter. Agree w/ Science Guy.

I called Hamilton Beach and they told me there are filters for this item. I think they are incorrect. I will make my own filters from a sheet of cut-to-fit carbon as suggested by another writer.

Sorry I don't. I use the filter for watering veggies from a water line that is old and rusting.

No, but it does look like one! The filter has a smaller flow of water, about the diameter of a small straw or thin pencil. The unfiltered flow is about your normal faucet flow and comes from the chrome to the left of the filter in this illustration. The filtered flow is smaller. It takes me about 4 minutes to fill a plastic gallon jug from the filter. 4 minutes in the house, not going to the store for a gallon of water. I try to fill a few jugs when I have time, a couple in the fridge and a couple to store for pet water bowls, plant watering, and any other needs for filtered water. Good luck!

No, this is purely to raise the pH of the water to alkaline levels. There are other Fluorideremoval filters and these are either whole house or under Counter models.

It is an activated carbon block filtration media. It doesn't, according to GE, filter any flouride. Depending on your view of flouride that's either very good or not-so-very good.

It doesn't have a filter such as a water filtration pitcher would, it is only sufficient to filter out possible grit or vegetative matter. The filter looks like a small round large pore sponge.
