Do these also filter out hard water gunk such as those grainy white fragments that clog some machines?

The water filtration system is designed to improve the taste of your coffee. It will remove 97% of chlorine from the water that you use to brew your coffee. It is not intended to remove anything but chlorine.

They all do unless you use distilled water. The harder the water, the more dust. This one was better than the little humidifier I used to have though. Same way when you put tap water in an iron causes white spots. Changing the filter at least 1x a season could help.

It does not say it requires them, but unless you like cleaning grounds out of the gunk at the bottom afterward, it would be wise to use them. I've seen paper filters shaped like discs for sale, but you don't need to spend extra money--just lay out a normal 12-cup paper filter flat and poke a hole in the middle, then lay it inside the filter basket. It'll save you having to clean out the nozzle later.

I am not qualified to answer that question. You should ask the manufacturer of the filters. They would be best to know what their filters are made for.

They can be. You just have to use the plugs that were provided, when you clean your filter out. I do prefer using the filter, it saves so much water.

Yes, but watch your filter pressure as the iron particles may accumulate and clog the filter.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

I don't have hard water, but I'm sure they would. I use them in cold water for cleaning everything, and for doing laundry. Maybe try a smaller package, and go from there.

No. This filter will only remove debris and sediment. Will not help with hard water scale.

I think these are meant more for survival situations where you are dealing with contaminated water. Most water filters can remove bad tasting chemicals (chlorine) and contaminants from tap water, but they are not guaranteed to remove bacteria and contaminants from standing water. I purchased them for my survival pack, but after reading all the warnings (can cause blindness, handle with gloves, wash clothes immediately after using), I decided this is probably something I shouldn't keep in close proximity with all of my other equipment.

I don't think so, because the filter is made to reduce the quantity of impurities of the water, but not to remove ions like calcium, that makes the hard water. We're talking about charcoal filters, designed primarily to improve the taste of the water.

I do think it works all right with hard water however using soft water makes the filters last longer. I have also noticed that when making coffee there are chunks of lime scale that fall out of the water dispenser so the machines require cleaning more frequently. I hope this was the answer you were wanting to see. Thank you for asking questions because that makes you an informed consumer.

These will filter iron, but I do not know how they will last under those conditions. I am using the filter as part of a survival kit.

They are somewhat rigid but they work great. They work great for large particles and once you get all of the large things cleaned from the pool you switch to the regular filters for smaller particles.

I've only used it in grain dust but I think they are the same filters my other friends use when hauling anhydrous ammonia. They should be dot approved.
