Does this use reverse osmosis filtration?

No, this system is a solid carbon block filter. It works by trapping and holding contaminates. If you would like to view a copy of the NSF/California certification that lists the contaminates this filter can reduce, please give us a call at 800-842-4605 and we can email the certification or direct you to the link on our website.

Yes. Use RO or drinking water and run threw zero water filter. PH up to 7.4 using ph meter to verify.

Well, there are three filter tubes, and this covers all of them - so I guess so. It doesn't have the Reverse Osmosis filter.

No. It purely moves water from skimmer through the filter and back into the pool.

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.

Not sure what a Kinetic Reverse system is but we do have a very nice Reverse Osmosis sytem so it should work. Water is water-should not matter.

it will filter out most....unless you have a VERY expensive filter (reverse osmosis),etc... you will not get ALL(100%) of flouride out

Simply distilled or reverse-osmosis water is fine - BUT make sure you still check the bottle to make sure it is not fortified with any additional minerals.

Yes. That is what I use. I love this product. I use to have a Reverse Osmosis system but it wastes way too much water. The water from this tastes great. If you want you can also put it on an electric water cooler but I chose not to.

Depends on the type and cleanliness of the water you use. Using reverse osmosis water, once every six months. We fill ours up once a day in the summer and once a week in the winter. It ran perfectly for a year.

This one doesn't. You pour water in it, and it pumps it out through metal net so big particles wouldn't clog the output. It has 'clean' feature which helps to unclog depositions. Besides, I wouldn't rely on boilers for dechlorination; it takes some serious'machinery' to do this. I have 'Premier Zero Waste Reverse Osmosis System' for $289.99 from Costco (it was cheaper there when I bought it) to filter tap water before it goes to the boiler.

I am on city water and from that I hook up to a reverse osmosis system and to the hot/cold water dispenser. Maybe a bit of overkill but I prefer water from reverse osmosis rather than carbon or paper filters.

Hello Kimberly, yes, with any reverse osmosis system there is waste water, is usually 100% to the water you purify (3 gallons of purified water to 3 gallons of waste water). However, I do not know if this is the case with this system. This information I have about waste water is as old as the reverse osmosis technology is (about 25 years ago). I suspect the current info is the same but I do not know for sure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.-Pat Holland

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.

I don't know, but any reverse osmosis system that I know of, filters more impurities than any other system. In my review I suggested calling the manufacturer. They are real people who answer the phone, there is nothing automated, and they can answer that question.

I already had one from a previous reverse osmosis filter. So quite frankly, I don't remember now if it came with one, but I don't think so.
