Does it filter sea(salt) water too?

sorry for the delay, but this unit can not filter out the salt in the salt water. I contacted the manufacturer and they are not looking at this process at this time, do to the expense of what it would take to separate the salt.

Yes, it certainly does filter contaminants from sea water. However, it does not desalinate seawater, so you would not be able to drink it.

No it is not designed for removing salt from sea water. That is a different style and much more expensive.

Don't know the answer to that since we are on well water. I doubt it though. It's a very simple filter. Not fine or well-fitted. Works good for sediment.

This is more of a sediment type filter. Use it for a pre filter for a soft water unit. (The kind you put salt in for soft water) this keeps dirt, silt and other objects out of your water.

Yes it will filter river and pond water in the U.S. It is tested to meet or exceed NSF Standard 53.

The only thing I think of as a "filter" on this is the holes in the bottom for drawing in air without the salt falling through. There is no other item I'd call a filter but since you don't use it upside down I can't see why it would be necessary. Enjoy!

There is no filter per se. there are disks which rotate in the water and collect dirt.There isnt a mesh or anything of that sort.

Yes it does. I have now been using this for a few months and have found it to work perfectly. No more bad smells or taste in my water. (filters can be purchased for about $10 each)

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

I have not used it with salt water, but I was on a mission trip and had to drink water from a dirty well. It did filter the sand from the water. Not sure if this helps, but I do love this water bottle and plan to buy more.

It's pretty amazing, but it won't remove salt. Here's a link to a more in-depth review: http://www.portablewaterfilters.org/whats-new/lifestraw-family-1-0-review/

It has a sand filter that is designed for fresh water. It could be converted to salt bath at would require additional expense

It doesn't use filters, Nancy. It's for dispensing chlorine. Up to 3" tablets.

You need a filter system and sand is the way to go for that , much better than paper filter. I wouldn't think that this would make enough difference to justify the cost over you salt water generator now. I am converting from chlorine to salt water.

Yes the filter not only cleans water but acts as a straw to get water up to the humidifier

It filters the water as it draws it from the resouvor. I would recommend it, especially for well water. Hope this helps!

Yes it does. And depending on how hard the water is in your area, it may filter for quite a while or need to be changed sooner. This is a wooden stand with a ceramic receptacle only. You will have to buy the Zero Water filtering unit to sit on top of the ceramic, similar to a 5 gallon water bottle.

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.
