Do you or would you please make this with a water filter for filtering out chlorine, bacteria, viruses and other contaminents?

That is a great idea! Unfortunately we do not manufacture this item.Perhaps you can contact the company directly with this request?Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions

I haven't tried it, but the filter is for removing chlorine which means it is filled with activated carbon most likely. You want a deionization filter which removes charged particles that would result in scaling, aka water spots.

It filters microbial germs that can make you very sick. I know that water can look clear and clean but you can't see the tiny nasties that can ruin your trip!

Yes, but as others have suggested, test the water for bacteria. This filter does not kill baacteria, it removes fine particles from the water supply. If you have bacteria in the water there are other filter types that can be used to treat the water and reduce the risk of infection. Frequently the Big Blue is used to eliminate particles before passing thru a second filter such as a UV type filter for treating bacteria.

yes. we do not have a water filter, just use a combo of filtered water from our 'fridge and distilled water. we descale it regularly.

No. This is not a filter - the filter is still needed to pump the water through. This replaces the chemicals so you don't have to keep up with chemicals. It's natural chlorine, almost like saltwater. No upkeep.

Absolutely not. This is a filter, not a water purification unit. Does not remove any bacteria.

You would need a pump. Do not know if water would be sterile though. You should write the manufacturer.

No, I would not. The water need to be go throw the filter before being mixed in a drink

Not really. I think what you want is a particulate filter or reverse osmosis for that issue.

Yes but if you have hard water it might cause build up in your machine. We used filtered water or bottled water.

No. This filter is designed to remove most chlorine deposits and taste associated with additives in regular tap water. These filters/bottle should only be used with tap water. If you are looking for water purification you should go into the camping/hiking section(s) for options.

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

It can filter both city water and well water. It doesn't filter out virus and bacteria, though. For well water, a whole house UV stage (#UVF55) is recommended if bio contamination is concerned.

Fluval makes one, but best to reuse till it is falling apart, to preserve biological filtration. Just rinse in aquarium water (can't be chlorinated tap water bc that will destroy much of the bio filter) and return to filter.

I use this in conjunction with an over the top filter. I guess it would depend if the filter media was cycled with good bacteria and how many fish you have.

This does not stop virus or bacteria in any way, so you would still need to boil it if you are drinking unsafe water. You would need some kind of UV (ultraviolet) Light filter in order to kill live pathogens. This does stop heavy metals, prescriptions drugs and some other stuff though.
