If i use bottle water, vice tap water, can I remove the filter so I have more water capacity in the tank?

I would think so. I would check the mineral content in the bottled water you want to use, my machine (depending on Frequency of use) will indicate with red blinking lights to "descale" the machine aprox every 2 months. I use a Britta filter in a pitcher with tap water and use the filter in the machine also.

Not recommended. The unit works on a specific amount of water, if it needs 6 or 8oz of water thats what it uses.. Adding water to the tank will not gain anything.

I guess not because some material can be inserted in the tank beside water whatever the source. But better ask the maker.Jacques

You sure can. I own 3 of these and fill all of them with tap water. No problems :)

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.

no not really. the top 1/2 of the container is a reservoir for filtering the water and the bottom 1/2 is processed/filtered water. it is not convenient for work. you do have to get up often to refill it.

You can easily remove (pry off) the small top panel on the Water Wise "neck" spigot piece with a small knife or screwdriver without damaging it to add the "sachet pack" - type charcoal filters. I use 2 since they are small as another reviewer noted. All you have to do is shake out the old filter(s), rinse with boiling water to sterilize and then add one or two charcoal filter sachets. You do not have to buy the special "all in one" plastic filter modules, and can use these regular Distiller Charcoal Filters 12 pk instead.

It probably could ,but why would you want to do that . Think about it you would have a sterilized filter. You want good bacteria in you filter. Also a valve should be hooked up in front so you can control the flow of return . The slower your tank can handle the better it will work

Yes, take out the plastic holding the carbon filter to filter water. Definitely use a filter in the coffee basket when making the coffee.

Open the top valve. Also, you may want to drain a couple of cups out of the filter by opening both valves and bending the hose from the lower connection over (this will keep water from pouring when you remove the top). Then, to prime after you put the top back on, open both valves and pour tank water in to the hose to replace what you drained out. I can open mine to remove or add carbon without spilling a drop on the floor. Hope this helps!

Don't put the water full in water tank, use pet bottle with bottle adapter.

Maybe some fluid engineer could comment on this, but if you can pull water up a short tube that means water is being pulled through the filter. I have a 6 inch tube in an aquarium and that functions well.

Just drop it anywhere in the tank; not in the filter. This thing works in addition to the filter. Using both is great.

Yes, it is. If you go get 2 5 gallon water bottles and fill them up at a vending machine ( most cities have them ) then you will not have to buy a new filter. Mine has lasted almost a year and it has no buildup whatsoever. Also on it makes it very easy to fill as i just dump the whole 5 gallon bottle in with 1 cap of anti bacterial. Keeps my nose from cracking and bleeding over my pillow at night.

Yes. You should check the recommendations regarding filtration of non-potable water though.

No, the water filter is replaceable - you chose when to change it depending on the quality of the water you use; tap, bottled etc.

Yes, it is designed so you can remove the filters easily.Just remember to check on the water quality more often once filter is removed.

of course you can..you unscrew the top & flush the filter with water..amazon also sells the filters

no. this filter is too big for that size bottle. you would need a 32oz bottle and then modify the opening.
