Does this have a carbon filter?
445107
The Sawyer filters are not made with charcoal. While other portable filters have charcoal, they lack in amount of media and adequate dwell time. Therefore, they only remove small amounts of heavy metals, pesticides, etc. (when used in real life applications).

When the water is drawn through the filter, it flows through the side walls of the Hollow Fiber tubes. Sediment, bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and other contaminants are filtered out exceeding all applicable EPA recommendations. NO CHEMICALS, NO WAITING, NO PUMPING, NO WORRIES!"

No it does not have a filter, a huge plus the way I see it. :) I've had 2 of these for over 2 years and have been great considering it's kind of an unknown brand. Super quiet and no issues with proper cleaning. Lagged longer than the Homedics brand I had previously.

Yes, and be sure to run water through the filter for a minute to flush out any carbon particles, etc. If this is to be water for drinking, use a recommended drinking water hose instead of a regular garden hose.

Yes,there is a carbon type organic filter and replaceable particulate filters in the retainers . These small white particulate pads can be bought in bulk and replaced as needed ,usually two are in each retainer when you buy it .

it does not, it is only the filter and i suggest you purchase a spare set of filters

yes, it has a filter. Other reviews talk about this. Also, very noisy but really pumps out the mist.

Yes, the one I bought on Amazon did come with a filter. And the plumber who installed it seemed to have all the necessary pieces in the box.

yes, there is a filter but this is a unreliable kettle. I bought 5 months ago. when it worked it is okay, not the best. It started leaking and I have to ship it back for a refuns

No, mine didn't. But you can buy a good, cheap filter on here. Very important that you do.

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

It does not. I prefer it this way since I have an under-sink water filter that does a much better job than those little charcoal filters, but you may prefer otherwise.

It doesn't say on the Amazon description but mines came with 4 extra carbon filters.

There is no mention of carbon in the materials enclosed with the product. And it is a "HEPA-type" filter. Here is the number for customer care 800.875-8577. They should be able to tell you.

No, it doesn't have any kind of filter that I have ever seen. it's a very simple design.

Yes, it comes with a filter but it does not work. No reduction in chlorine.

no, it comes with a permanent, reusable filter. it's worked fine for me, and saves me the trouble of fooling with paper filters!
