Can this be used to make pool water drinkable?

Yes, with the carbon filter the chloride taste is minimized, the ceramic filter removed down to 2 microns. I have several friend who have also purchased these for this purpose.

maybe you could if you added at least three times the water for it is like a sponge and thought it tastes good, it is not really drinkable without the liquid being fluid.

Yes, but it will be quite expensive depending on the hardness of your water. If you need purer water than comes out of your tap, I suggest a reverse osmosis system. It wont be 0 ppm, but it will be close and much more economical in most situations. You will still have to make the amount you need and then wash with it as the deionization resin and the r/o system are both kinda slow.

No. This filter will not accomplish that. You will need a reverse osmosis system to do that. Also, please remember to take important mineral supplements when drinking that highly effective purification system water. The same goes for distilled water. If you can afford a reverse osmosis water purification system, it is the best choice of all for healthy water to drink. Another cost for such luxury is your water bill will go up (if you pay for metered water as I do), because I think it takes five gallons of water to make one gallon of purified water.

Properly treated pool water is likely as potable as you can find. But if you think the chlorine taste is too strong, just let it sit for awhile especially in the sun, and the chlorine will break down and evaporate. In a survival situation more chlorine is better.

Yes.. should work perfectly. Just remember to include 2 parts water (or liqid).

It probably isn't a good idea. Its plastic might not be safe for drinking water and you certainly don't want to confuse it for a gas can. Check out Jerry Jugs or Jerry cans. I just looked at some on Amazon that will probably suit your needs. You'll see that some are specifically designed and meant for water. I hope this helps.

I don't see why not. We use ours to drain the water off the top of the pool cover.

I would say it can, as long as you have a deck that is fairly level to the top of your pool. Then again, you could always set it on something to make it level.

You probably could but I would use a plastic container as the metal will effect the taste if you want the water to drink. But for non consumable water it would be great, a little pricey though...

I assume you could use it for that it is made for hydroponic applications but with the right fittings from lowes it would work. There might be cheaper alternatives though for drinking water it is something you should probably look into first

no, do not use it for that kind of pool. I am not even very satisfied with it on my above ground pool. I had to make a gasket for the pipe coming out of the filter, after I had to make an extension for it because it was not long enough to seal inside the head unit. It allowed a lot of dirty water bypass and drove me nuts thinking I didn't know how to get my pool chemistry right. Turns out it was the filter all along. Now after a year I think the pump is starting to fail, it makes an awful high pitched squeal.

I would not recommend to use it for drinking water. I love to use it for my pool and it works nicely. For your drinking water you want to have a test kit for additional elements as e-coli, lead, nitrates, pesticides, hydrogen sulfide. Hope that helps.

I think so, if you have suitable attachment points and large enough. May be there is a dedicated item to pool use.

Not to my knowledge. It's not a pool for chemicals, but when the water gets yukky you just dump it out and refill. We always made sure we were watering plants when changing the water.

I ran across some information suggesting why using your pool water for anything other than bathing and washing clothes is not a good idea. It prompted me to investigate further. Based on what I found I would use your pool ONLY as a last resort for potable water and you'll need to purify the water before drinking it. Do your homework before making this critical assumption.

Yes you can. However this is a terrible product. The oranges and fruit in water ate at the plastic and it looked dirty all the time. After about 2 mo. The plAstic cracked and leaked. I would not recommend it.
