How effective would this filter be at removing aluminum from water filtered by activated alumina?

I only have taste to go by, but it seems to work. freshwatersystems.com has lots of info

As you already know high alkaline water will leave mineral deposits on your plumbing fixtures. You could therefore make a valid assumption that it would also do the same in your filter unit and reduce the effectiveness of the filtering process. However you should contact the manufacturer directly and get and answer directly preferably by email. A reverse osmosis unit is a better solution for your situation if you have the room and the cash.

We have a Kinetico water softener system. We have a LOT of iron in our well water. We must use the Iron Out salts. The 5 micron filter works well for us. We used to use a 50 or 30 micron. If anything the 5 micron just filters better, finer particles. We change it every 6 months or so. It gets red with the iron, unless you are losing water pressure it is OK to use continue to use, we have gone 9 months without changing it before. I don't know what kind of sediment your trying to filter or how much is in your well water so I can't say how it would work in your system. I would recommend trying one of the filters for six months and see how it goes. If no problems then I'd buy the bulk package. We own our system so we can do as we like with it. I don't know what Kinetico would say about it. Good luck. Let us know if it works out for you OK. We were paying much more for our filters before we found this steal of a deal.

No, I have a whole house water filtration system that is installed at the entry of the water lines just after the water meter. The AP810 cartridge is not intended as a water purifier, it is only to remove debris, contaminates and some metals that appear in the typical water supply. This filter will prevent anything reaching your plumbing fixtures and keeping your faucets free of particle buildup that prevents frequent maintenance for long periods. I have used the Aqua-Pure system and cartridges for nine years and I am very glad that I have. Hope this answers your question.

I think it can!! DE is the way to go- as it filters out the smallest particles of any filter. I would do a Google search first- there is I'm sure a chart of what size pool each filter can handle.

As a ceramic filter, it filters out most but not all minerals, but not ions. My water starts off hard (a lot of dissolved calcium) and ends up hard. RO removes everything, but is much more wasteful of water. (every quart of water wastes a quart). If you have high levels of arsenic in your water, than RO is better. Otherwise, the choice is yours.

This is all I have used and I will say that I get more life out of it that it claims and our well water is loaded with very fine sand or filings and it has a very bad sulfur smell but this filter took care of the problem. It has worked better than any other I have tried so far from either HomeDepot, Lowes and Tractor Supply also sells the big filters. Try one and you will see how good it works.

I have used mine in a therapure filter based on my experience it should be okay to try it. Make sure the builb is not touching any part of the unit. Keep an eye on it for the first 24 hours.

I believe the inner filter is aluminum. The base, so far as I can tell, is completely steel.

No this does not clean algea from the bottom of the pool... The most it will do is stir it up & you can hope the filter gets some of it...

I have the white ceramic filters - and initially just installed two of them, leaving the other pair as 'spares', ten months ago. I refill the tank twice a week, using the water to cook with, to make tea, and to drink. I've taken it to the Gulf coast twice - great improvement there. The flow rate hasn't slowed thus far, so I haven't even scrubbed my filters yet. I still use tap water for pasta.

My system puts out water that reads 000ppm on a quality dissolved solids meter. I would think it will remove most everything from the water.

I don't know. I haven't used it yet. I purchased the filter should our local water supply become contaminated and because I find the taste of water mixed with an iodine decontaminate disgusting

No, filtration size is 0.02 micrometers. Flouride is at the atomic level, less than the filtration size of the ceramic filter.

Being that this filter is ceramic, its some of the best I've had. I would call this better, but others could feel differently. I have become completely dependent on only drinking water from my Franke Water Filter, but it needs to be changed every 4 to 6 months, depending on usage - to have the best results.

Thank you for contacting AquaRain Support. Water conditions can be of great concern, especially when traveling to developing countries and the AquaRain has been designed specifically for this reason. Since bacteria vary greatly in size, porosity alone will not define the efficacy of a filters performance. The internal pore structure has a great deal of influence on ceramic filter performance. Testing with live organisms is the best determinate of performance. Our filters have been tested using the EPA protocols in a unique way. Our ceramic test articles were abraded down to 10% below their measured end-of-life and exposed to contaminated water before being sent in to the laboratory for testing. This was done to confirm that our ceramic filters were fully effective and safe to use until they reach their measurable end-of-life. Normal testing protocols only use brand-new, hand selected articles for testing and are therefore unreliable where the water quality is of concern. We went further and tested our filters with Brevundimonas diminuta, a very small bacteria used for testing in the health industry. We met EPA purifier standards even when using this much smaller test organism. Because of our real world testing results with this live organism, we realistically rate our ceramic pore size at .2 micron absolute. We have a great deal of information on our website especially, under the "testing" tab. There you will find a downloadable PDF Testing Summary Sheet for our ceramics. I hope this has answered your questions, please write again or contact us directly should you have any further questions. Kind Regards, AquaRain, Inc.

I dont know. This isn't a filter remover. This removes the aluminum oil cartridge housing when changing the oil on a (in my case) Toyota Highlander. If your rig uses the standard oil filter, that's not what this tool is used for.
