Is there a bypass for the di filter so you can use this for drinking water?

No but I just removed the di filter and it worked fine for drinking. I run the waste water into the washer so I don't waste it

There is no bypass on any of the filters. I have been using my filter strictly for aquariums.

No it comes with a direct hose from the RO to the DI but it can be modified by putting some valves and another hose on that point

Yes. Use ours without as we're not beer making, or such, that would require filtering.

This is a great filter! However, I wanted it to be connected to it's own dedicated water dispenser faucet. The faucet I got off amazon had a 1/4" male thread end (compression thread) and the filter has a 3/8" male end (also compression thread). To make this connection you will need two parts available on amazon. You will need two Watts brand products: Watts LFA154 Female Compression x OD Adapter 1/4-Inch x 3/8-Inch (Fine Thread) Watts LFPBCC12-44 Ice Maker Supply Line, 12-Inch Took me forever to find these fittings to make it work, but I wanted to save somebody else the time and hassle.

Yes. It comes with a fitting that connects to the cold water line underneath your sink. The only water that gets filtered is water coming out of the filtrete faucet. No loss in water pressure. No need to run water for a while when you want to drink fresh water. Also easy to install.

Yes. The filter extends down into the bottle. Without it, there is no way to draw water up into the device.

Absolutely. The filter is awesome. You'd have to figure out your own water-to-tea ratios though. No biggie.

I am a Plumber when I install a water softener I bypass the drinking water at the kitchen sink,also outside taps,toilets and fridge water supply. I do not drink water that has been processed through the brine in the Water Softener,or soften the water to the outside. So I need the fridge filter for drinking.

If you can turn a wrench, you can change the filter. It's easy, but can be a bit messy. You just need to put a bucket underneath to catch the water that spills out of the filter housing.

No, there isnt a modification that I know of unless you design your own, but I havent seen any fine debris escaping. Sometimes the water seems to get cloudy while using, but honestly I think its tiny air bubbles as they disappear within seconds of turning the unit off. The filter chamber has very fine mesh fabric covering it. Very fine.

it does have a filter. I've been told if you use distilled water you really don't need the filter. I use distilled water but just left the filter in

Yes you can. There are tabs that you attach to the sides of the screen that the filter slides in and out of. I take mine off regularly.

It's "Water filtration adaptable", meaning I believe you can buy an extra add-on filter. However, we use the filtered water from our fridge, and have experienced zero issues. Hope this helps. Amy

Yes you can as long as you have the converter that comes with the water filter. The end of the faucet does screw off for this purpose.

Yes, it's very easy to turn off the filter. There's a knob on the side of the unit that you turn into the on or off position. I keep the filter off at all times and only turn it on to supply drinking water.

No, I'm sorry!! Each brand has it's own filter, as far as I know. It would be neat if there was a universal. The Zero is far superior....for my needs, anyway, and the filters last at least 3 times longer. I have stream water, and that's saying something!!

Yes - the filter inserts into a plastic straw, and you can simply take the filter out and insert the straw back in and you'll be able to drink with no filter without a problem. This works great when you're already drinking filtered water!
