Why does it say it will filter 4000 liters of water if the carbon filter has to be changed after 250 liters? Does it come with extra filters?

The Lifesaver bottle has 3 filters: the purification cartridge, carbon filter, and a pre-filter disc. The 4000 liters is for the purification cartridge. The 250 liters is for the carbon filter. "The Lifesaver Bottle is fitted with a 4000UF replaceable purification cartridge that removes bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, fungi, and all other microbiological water-borne pathogens from your water. The Lifesaver bottle also comes with an activated carbon filter made of a high specification activated carbon block, which reduces a broad spectrum of chemical residues including: pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds, medical residues, and heavy metals such as lead and copper. The Carbon filter also eliminates bad tastes and odors from contaminates such as chlorine and sulphur."

The primary filter will filter 4,000 liters. The carbon filter serves as like a secondary filter

I have been using these for well over a year now. They are carbon filters. I'm inclined to say, hey carbon is carbon. Speaking as an Engineer: You can drive yourself nuts with specs. They are very similar to the GE carbon which costs much more $$. On the flip side....I use this as a whole house filter and my drinking water runs through a Reverse Osmosis system. This whole house filter radically extends the filter life of the RO system's filters. Would I drink the water from the output of a single CP5BBS ? No. Should you ? Probably not. That doesn't make it bad. It's merely a major "stage 1" filter. You really should be using a second system for drinking water. That's my 2 cents.

I have bought 2 of these and the only thing I don't think it comes with is active carbon. It does have one pre filter. But I have bought extras to swap out while the other is being cleaned. It also comes with the bio media that you clean every 6 weeks and replace some at 6 months. All the hoses and connectors also come with any new g6 or g3. I hope this helps

NO! I purchased it and the carbon filter is slightly longer and fits differently. I could not completely close the canister and water went everywhere. Unless I have a defective one, they don't fit.

New in the box machines come with one filter. It will work without the filter. I keep mine in for more like 6 months at a shot. No problems so far. I suppose the activated charcoal helps remove chlorine from tap water.

Yes it does. I have a watts wp4v reverse osmosis system and I bought this kit a couple of months ago. I exchanged all 3 filters of the system from this kit. The extra carbon and sediment filter I put aside and will use them in another 4 months. This kit does NOT include the reverse osmosis membrane. If you need to replace it you must order it separately. The membrane should last for at least 5 years or so.

NO--only reverse osmosis filters do because it is a mineral. This carbon cartridge filter is excellent have used 2 brands over 35 years--best for home use.

Carbon I would at once every couple months, my method with all filters and water parameters is if it's not broken, don't try to fix it. This filter is horrible though, both replacements leaked about 3 gallons of water on my carpet, spend an extra hundre and get a fluval 206

Hi, When I bought, I immediately noticed a big change in the water filtration. So my guess is Yes for their claim of removing not only chlorine but fluorine as well, but the draw back is that the water flow is severely restricted to the point I had to remove the shower head and let the water flow through the pipe which is connected to the filter. I was using a handheld shower head. Now I use a reverse osmosis system of 150 GPD that I bought for 130$ at air water ice website. Call them and they will help you. That will be my suggestion and it removes everything. Buy a pump and a water heater (11-1/2" Max Water Depth Water Heater) and you will be good for 4-6 months with pure water for showering until you buy a new filter set for 10-20$. I had to return my filter because it broke after a while and couldn't filter properly in about a week of use. You can tell from the water pressure. And when I opened the faucet, black carbon water would come out for 2 sec. It's heavy. Considering the price, I will go with reverse osmosis. Hope it helped.

It has one filter that goes around the pump housing that I assume keeps particles out of the pump. Then it has another charcoal filter after the pump that filters the water for the fountain. They can be seen here: http://smile.amazon.com/Pre-Filters-Drinkwell-Stainless-Avalon-Pagoda/dp/B00KIMEPAQ/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_3 and here: http://smile.amazon.com/Drinkwell-Avalon-Pagoda-Charcoal-Filters/dp/B00CSUQ7RK/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_1

The 6300 has an extra level of filtration. I just can't spell out the details for you. Just read the product description for each model and it should be clear. Good luck....Marie Cappola

Brian, I apologize for the delay; Your question just came across my desk. The system is a four stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water filtration system. Stage 1 uses a sediment filter (recommended change 6 months). Stage 2 uses a carbon filter (recommended change 6 months). Stage 3 uses a membrane (recommended change 2-5 years). Stage 4 uses a carbon inline filter (recommended change 6-12 months). Please let me know if you have additional questions.The Better BuyCustomer Service

I called Hamilton Beach and they told me there are filters for this item. I think they are incorrect. I will make my own filters from a sheet of cut-to-fit carbon as suggested by another writer.

WP2-BVC is the model I have and this kit worked for me fine, just make sure your filter cartridge is inline with the incoming water first and your carbon filter is second.

Thank you for your question! The standard filters have the same amount of charcoal as the premium filters but the 6 compartments in the premium filters help evenly distribute charcoal for long-lasting filtration. Both are recommended to be changed every 2 to 4 weeks and either will work with the Drinkwell Original, Platinum, and Zen fountains.

It can use just two filters with two plugs but if you use all four filters it will filter faster. It's also 3000gl per filter. I agree with the other customer who said to be patient with the taste...after a couple of gallons the taste really improved. My nine year old daughter remarked that she never realized how good real water tastes!

It comes with all the filters it can have, if you are asking what does it filter out then have a look here: http://www.theperfectwater.com/What-contaminants-can-reverse-osmosis-remove.html to see the actual 3 filters (sediment,carbon,artesian) that comes with it go here: http://www.theperfectwater.com/Tap-Master-Artesian-Water-Filter-Change-Set.html Otherwise it comes with all the needed filters, they say the filters are good for 2000 gallon or 1 year for the regular filters, tho on the filteres themselves you will notice different time frame, the artesian says 2500g/1year, the sediment and carbon say something like 3900g/1year, the membrane needs to be changed every 5 years.
