Does this filter remove salt? I recently installed a water softener system at the house and I can't stand drinking the water, taste like sea water

Yes it has five different filters and it removes everything and the water has no taste at all. That is why they call it zero water.

I see a video on YouTube where some basically poured soda through the filter and got pure water. granted it doesn't last a fraction as long as just normal water but I'm sure this filter will remove salt.

Since you just installed a water softener you may need to readjust the settings on your system, you might want to contact the person who installed the system to come and reset your system. Here is a link we found to adjust your system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfFG3YllXaQ The Zerowater filters removes virtually all total dissolved solids from tap water.

Yes I believe it does but the water must be safe to drink before it is filtered. You cannot try to filter sea water to drink through the zero water filter but if you use salt to soften your drinking water then it should remove those dissolved particles.

I think the directions said you had to run quite a bit of water when you first replace the filter. We did that and had no problems with the taste. Hope it gets better.

I use it and seem to have no problems but I can't atest to the use in salt water. I should replace any filter sand.

there was a reviewer that answered this question, using strips to test the water. he said it does remove a lot of chlorine. i am glad i purchased it. when i take a salt bath, it is best to try and remove chlorine, and i feel this helps in making it a truer salt bath.

Ours is regular water. We've never done a salt water pool filter before. If I recall correctly, the instructions indicated you could convert to salt. See if you can find a "how to" video on YouTube. I found helpful hints there when setting up the vacuum.

I can say that the water I get using these filters is great. No chemical taste, which our water does have without it. It's been a long time since I drank reverse osmosis water, so I can't remember to compare. Of course, if you want the cleanest water possible, removing even medication residues that are apparently showing up in our water systems, reverse osmosis gets it all, and these filters do not. We've been going back and forth about switching to reverse osmosis, for purer water. For taste alone, these are a great choice, and they remove things like heavy metals and chlorine. Where I live, when the city flushes the hydrants our water looks dirty from the unfiltered faucets, and these filters clean it right out, though we do have to change them more frequently when that happens!

unfortunately no. It just removes other sediment, which we get quite a lot from broken pipes In our city. After the water goes through these house filters then our drinking water goes through a reverse osmosis system and that runs to a spigot in the kitchen and ice maker. The reverse osmosis removes the horrible chlorine taste the house filters do not.

You don't want to use hang on back filtration for a salt water system. .. do research before you set up a saltwater system they are very expensive and you will kill everything if not set up properly. .. get a protein skimmer not a filter like this

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

No - You can use it on tap water to filter out the chlorine taste and some minerals but this is not to be used to filter salt or water that would be considered contaminated. This filter is mainly used for taste.

No it doesn't. This filter is designed to remove sediments and/or taste by purchasing a filter with activated charcoal. For those things it is excellent. To "soften" water and remove iron, you should consult a water treatment specialist. Get a good one with a good reputation. If they don't know what they are doing, you can spend a lot of money with no results.

When I first got it I thought the water tasted like dirt/minerals. It took about 2 weeks for that taste to go away but it finally did and now the water is just as good as bottled water. I think the filter probably as some small particles that need to get out before it tastes really good. I drink almost a gallon of water a day so if you really can't stand the water maybe try cooking with it or watering plants with it for the first week or 2 weeks to get rid of that mineral taste. Go through about a gallon a day.

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps.

Even though this filter helps to soften water in your house, still a regular softener is more efficient. I would suggest to start with this filter anyway because it is better for your health to remove chlorine, and then add a softener if your water remains hard.

Dear Carlos, I am sorry, but my water is fine. I do not have a filter. My problem is high calcium. As a result I need a new unit about every three years. I did see some filtering units for sale. I would try a reverse osmosis if I had your problem.Thanks

Filter that came with our 16x32 wasn't cutting it using either chlorine or non-chlorine products. Don't know anything about saltwater systems, but this pump and filter system works great and I'm back to using chlorine, water is picture perfect clear now.
