Will this filter remove the salty taste that is in tap water at some of the island resorts such as Atlantis in the Bahamas?

I'm not sure...sorry....never been to island resorts. However, I am in Kabul, Afghanistan, and it did improve the taste of the water I was drinking. I know it doesn't purify the water, but I bought it because it filters the water for taste by removing things like nickel, chlorine, and lead (in general, metals that cause the water to taste weird). Hope this helps!

It depends on what you wouldn't normally drink. If you mean tap water that has too much chlorine or well water that has too much gravel, yes, it will filter out odor and tastes you don't want. I use one in my kitchen for drinking water as my city water is heavily chlorinated. My sister uses one at her house because her well water is a bit muddy. It works for both of us.

No. Also the filtered water has light black or blue color and taste bad. Do not buy it.

The ffilters are micro filters for bacteria and particulars in the water. Salt would not work very well. I feel that it would real break the filters or gum them up

Probably not, simply because of the timer that controls both the saltwater system and the filter at the same time. Before getting this pool we had a separate salt system and used the sand filter, but since this came with the all-in-one system we decided to try it. We haven't had any problems with the cartridge filter and haven't had to change the cartridge all summer. It has been a lot easier than trying to use the two systems.

Absolutely. It will keep your pool water sparkling clean. This sand filter system is awesome. I recommend it AND the saltwater system to everyone who asks. I am so glad I'll never again have to spend money on replacement paper filters or harsh expensive pool chemicals. These systems are great time savers too. My pool almost takes complete care of itself. Once it is set up in the spring and the timers are set I really don't need to do much more except relax and enjoy it!

yes it will. I had the same problem and once i got this water dish the problem was solved. One suggestion, if you have hard water i would filter it first otherwise the mineral buildup can be a bear.

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.

None of the cartridge filters remove TDS. If you want that, you need reverse osmosis. It's a choice. Some people don't want to remove minerals, just organics and lead, some do.

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.

No I have not notice a sweet taste after filtering my water. Look at from this angle, it is far better having sweet water than having to drink water that has the rotten egg smell/taste. If you are really that concerned about the sweet taste of the water call up or email Sawyer and get their official say on the matter or send a water sample to a public water testing facility and see what they determine is in the water that you are filtering. That's about all I can say on the matter. Good Luck.

Absolutely not. This is a filter, not a water purification unit. Does not remove any bacteria.

No. This filter is designed to remove most chlorine deposits and taste associated with additives in regular tap water. These filters/bottle should only be used with tap water. If you are looking for water purification you should go into the camping/hiking section(s) for options.

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.

I haven't found it to improve the taste of the water but I've only had it for two months or so. We filter our water because our city water tastes pretty bad .

I haven't found the filter to make a difference in my coffee. However I have found that it takes a long time after descaling even with lots of rinsing, to restore the taste. See if plain water tastes the same as it does directly from the tap but after you've run it through

I do not recall reading about it removing salt and fluoride, but I am not a hundred percent sure. There is a valve that attaches to the sink female or male head, so you will not have to remove anything to wash your hands. To acquire filtered water, all you do is pull out the pin. Very convenient, not bad looking on my countertop.
