Does this have a place for a charcoal water filter?

This brewer is not compatible with our water filtration system. The Mr. Coffee carbon-based water filtration system is compatible only with Mr. Coffee coffee makers that brew 5 cups or more.

There is not place to put a filter/purifier. If it is something that goes inside the water bottle neck then it would work but otherwise I do not think it will fit. We love our dispenser and refill a 3 gallon bottle at the grocery store. It can accommodate up to a 5 gallon bottle.

It is a filter on it's own, no charcoal needed. Over time the fibers will eventually break down and you will have to replace it. Just hose off gently and air dry to clean.

Charcoal water filters are optional on coffeemakers. If you don't use them, the coffeemaker will function properly. This is true both of my Kenmore and my Capresso. This Capresso unit's manual says that if you have well water and choose not to use the water filter, you can press the filter button on the machine and it won't monitor it for you. (otherwise, after X brewing cycles, the filter light will flash).

No. There are two fixed-position grates. One for charcoal and one for the food.

Just sits on the top, works like a aquarium filter in the sense that it keeps the smell in the charcoal. I do not vent it.

Yes, of course it will. The charcoal filter is just in case you want to have a cleaner water (free of fluoride I mean).

It came with one, but it is not necessary. I just brewed a pot without the charcoal filter.

The charcoal filter is separate from the mesh filter. However, the charcoal filter is designed to (and does) fit very nicely within an indentation engineered into the back of the mesh filter frame and is attached with 2 push on metal clips. No tools necessary. Very simple.

A charcoal filter will not filter out fluoride. You would have to use reverse osmosis if you want the fluoride out.

absolutely. plus the charcoal filter protects the top square and keeps odors out.

yes it has a filters that comes with charcoal to put inside of it and also has sponge filters to establish biological colonies and reduces the ammonia and nitrite spikes experienced in a new tank.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

The unit uses a charcoal filter. I think you'd be fine to use the water additive.

I can see the reason for the long wait. If you're using tap water, there's going to be chlorine. Your charcoal filter will eventually adsorb all the chlorine out of the water, but not right away. The wait is so the Chlorine is completely gone out of the main tank and doesn't kill any of the SafeStart bacteria. The longer you wait, the less Chlorine.

I don't think so, because the filter is made to reduce the quantity of impurities of the water, but not to remove ions like calcium, that makes the hard water. We're talking about charcoal filters, designed primarily to improve the taste of the water.

Its an active carbon filter. Whatever active charcoal can filter, this will filter as well. I don't think fluoride binds to active charcoal.
