does it remove salt?

I don't know about the salt Raymond but I will say we now have had the Zero Water pitcher for probably a good 2 months and we are still on the first fileter. This was my biggest thing about not getting it sooner thinking we would have to replace the filter so often. We truly enjoy our water now which we sure didn't for the last 11 years we have owned this beach house we would always bring our water with us from our "regular" house, now not anymore. We use the water from it 24/7 for cooking, drinking everything and it is just the best. nancy settel

Since salt is TDS and it brings TDS's to zero I would say yes. But after living with the system I would say get a RO. Zero water was the most expensive water system I used. I got 5 gallons only from each filter, and they only last for 9 days regardless of water cleaned before the water start smelling like rotten fish I went with a good 5 stage RO and very happy with it.

Yes I believe it does but the water must be safe to drink before it is filtered. You cannot try to filter sea water to drink through the zero water filter but if you use salt to soften your drinking water then it should remove those dissolved particles.

Well, according to this on their website, it does....and the quote, "Another new product is Zero Water, a pitcher water filtering system that removes virtually all detectable dissolved solids from water. These dissolved solids are invisible, but include salt, metals, organic and inorganic substances. Zero Water comes with a test stick to determine the solids in your water using a 5-Stage Dual Ion Exchange filtration process which has traditionally only been available for commercial use. It can literally turn wine into water!" Depending on your water system, and the amount of contaminants, that will determine the amount of usage for each filter. I'm in one of the lower contaminated water areas, and I've used my filter now for 6 months. If you taste water from a Brita pitcher and from a Zerowater pitcher, you will be able to tell the difference. I hope this answers your question!

You need to buy it. And it takes alot of salt at frist to get it going after that not much at all. It does a great job.

Hi Matthew, The LIFESAVER will filter almost anything that is not water soluble. Since salt is water soluble it bonds with the water molecule and the filter is unable to filter it out and desalinate sea water.

Yes , as sodium is a dissolved solid it will be filtered out along with chlorine and chloramine

Remove would not be the correct description. It will reduce dissolved minerals in the 70 to 95% range. So if you start with very high dissolved solids for example and iron sulfide is one of the dissolved salts there will still be some left. That said, when you smell iron you are really smelling H2S being liberated by iron reducing bacteria in the water supply system. The carbon filter in this device will remove that to below detection level.

Yes it does, it works well with all recipes and variations. I use this to make crisp refirgerator pickles as well as hot packed canner style. Salt is not necessary for product to work.

I don't know about reducing salts but it does a very good job in cleaning the barrel and other corrosive powder. I use it to clean a 22 which is very dirty. I do the barrel guide rod, then let it set while woring on the frame with the Hoppi's and let it sit. It seems to clean barrel and other parts very well.

the truth is that I havent tried it with salt but I dont see a reason why not. what I can say is that after several months I am very satisfied with this product.

I can't say absolutely but it shouldn't, unless it's naturally occurring. Real Salt is nothing but salt, unprocessed except for cleaning. There is nothing added to it, if that's what you want to know.

no. depending on your water softener... determines how much salt it uses. mine is gear driven by water... so every 300 gallons mine regenerates. water softeners don't remove iron... like this air injection sys does. I have noticed a big difference in my water since I bought this system... I would recommend that you get your water tested.... to see if you need an iron removal system

Yes it does come with salt. There is enough for quite sometime. I do like how the product works.

The filter will not remove salts in the water, so it'd be safe to assume that fluoride also will not be removed. You need a reverse osmosis setup for fluoride removal. I'd like to see an answer from Lifesaver on this just to be sure.

Yes, this will work for a salt unit. Once the membrane needs replaced I recommend upgrading to a 100GPD. Be sure to purchase a TDS meter you can check your levels regularly.

Yes, but it won't test for salt but the tests don't care if it's regular or salt system

No, you just drop it in the upper right corner of the tank. It's colorless and it slowly dissolves minerals in the water to keep it looking clear in the toilet bowl. I use a similar product for my water softener that's a powder and you add it to the salt reservoir every month and during regeneration it runs through the mineral tank and cleans it out. Keeps it working at peak efficiency.oldtechuser

There is not salt, not sure why they said that. Defininetly no salt. By the way, this system really helps with hard water stains but keeps the minerals in the water.

Is effective in removing fluoride. No too sure about salt as my water supply has no traces of salt before. Is easy for both workings for me.
