Is it possible to use filtered water in place of the Krups cartridge?

I've been doing this for 18 months with my own filtered water system installed at my sink. Not a faucet filter but a separate system altogether. The "mechanic" that keeps my 8 year old machine working, tells me it is fine. No problems so far...

As long as you already have the cartridge the filter goes into then yes, just buy the replacement filter.

It is an option to use the filter disk. We recommend using them all the time simply because they help remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. For better results your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approximately 30 brew cycles).

I would think of perhaps using a bag that would screw onto the filter and empty into the clean water container. It won't be fast but it will work. I have used this method before.

I haven't done it but I'd say no. I think the filter would get completely clogged.

Yes, you can. If you like the taste of the water from your refrigerator, go for it! These filters are optional.

Yes you still need to replace it. Distilled water is not treated and often is able to grow more bacteria (no chlorine) so your filter can actually become a breeding ground for bacteria that are put into the air should you not replace it regularly.

None of the cartridge filters remove TDS. If you want that, you need reverse osmosis.It's a choice. Some people don't want to remove minerals, just organics and lead, some do.

Yes. There is a refillable filter basket. You do not always have to use k-cups

On our unit, there is a small "drawer" like piece right around the large filter area, where water runs into the two filters. It has a small snap lid that opens upward and you drop the cartridge in and close the lid. Good luck.

You can buy a filter for it, but it is not required to make it work. I use distilled water in mine and there is no danger.

No, I have a whole house water filtration system that is installed at the entry of the water lines just after the water meter. The AP810 cartridge is not intended as a water purifier, it is only to remove debris, contaminates and some metals that appear in the typical water supply. This filter will prevent anything reaching your plumbing fixtures and keeping your faucets free of particle buildup that prevents frequent maintenance for long periods. I have used the Aqua-Pure system and cartridges for nine years and I am very glad that I have. Hope this answers your question.

No.there are cartridges that need to be replaced but if you use filtered or distilled water you do not absolutely have to use those cartridges

No this model Krups uses raw non-capsule ground coffee. Buy whole coffee beans and get a burr grinder.

In my opinion and what I have done thus far is use the filter. Notice I said filter and not filters. I have used one filter since I have owned the machine. I never change the filter and I doubt I would ever have to since it filters the freshly distilled water. Taste has not been affected and the only reason I can see for the filters is to ensure no particulates from the machinery would ever enter the water. That said, it should be impossible during the life of the machine for any particulates to break loose. These are copper pipes used for the distillation so the filters are either a money maker or just a fail safe is all.

Yes, I feel those would work fine. I've been buying the Omni TO1-SS Carbon Wrapped Whole House Replacement Water Filter Cartridge for $8.00 each, so $11/48 for 2 cartridges is a great price. I've just added them to my wish list so I can order them next time.

Tank water will not destroy the beneficial bacterial like tap water. But I use tap water because I need that strong stream from a hose to clean the cartridges. You seem to be asking about the media refillable cartridge so unless they are really clog, I would just use the tank water when you do a water change. No need to keep tank water around just for that. For the actual filter floss material cartridge, use a strong stream from a hose. Those cartridges are expensive so I reuse them whenever I can.
