Does this filter handle sea water?

No, it's not a desalinator. It removes some chemicals and all virus and bacteria from drinking water

No. So far it has worked flawlessly. This is the first filter I've used. We'll see what happens in the future.

I have no idea. I guess it would depend on the composition of the filter that you have. This is good stuff.

Yes and No. You need to check what the PPM is. The 500 GPD states that it is good for up to 1000 PPM. You may need a pre-filter system and perhaps a UV. I have very dirty water that mixes with ocean water. That's what I did and I have 3 of them and very happy with them.

Normally not. The unit has a onboard filter included. You can always call us at 1 800 560-0436 to consult with a representative about your water quality.

It should but the filter doesn't last very long when there is a lot of sediment in the water. My Zerowater started to taste bad after a week.

This is a paper sediment filter. It does not "condition" the water like a reverse osmosis filter does.

No, it will not filter water but it is a very good particulate filter.I use this filter just upstream of my water separating filter.

It does not really have a filter. It sits underwater in my pond & pumps water/debris to an external above ground filter system. It works great!

It does, But I would Recommend two of these One just for sediment and One for taste and odor,that way the filter lasts longer. Im going to do that Now on mine because the city has so much sediment in the water it clogged up my new filter in four months. I have to buy another unit with the Basic filter on it.

I have not used it with salt water, but I was on a mission trip and had to drink water from a dirty well. It did filter the sand from the water. Not sure if this helps, but I do love this water bottle and plan to buy more.

Yes, it does filter the dirt and sand, but the other one is better FLOW-PRO 1M-4PK 1-Micron Sediment Water Filter Cartridge, 4-Pack will filter well best.

Yes it is and I would not use it for longer than you have to. I recommend upgrading to a hang on the back type filter. I thought I had lost one of my fish and couldn't find it. When I upgraded the filter, I found him. He had swam over the edge of the filter and had gotten stuck in there. Luckily he was still alive. I don't have that problem with the traditional filter.

I'm assuming that it is dependent on the volume of water that passes through the filter. I haven't actually tested it.

Yes, but watch your filter pressure as the iron particles may accumulate and clog the filter.
