Hi, From the comments I read it seems like the only thing people are buying this for is for their fish tanks. Is it good for people to drink?

I can't speak for everyone but mine takes about an hour to filter 1 gallon of water. And I use my hose because the filters won't allow much water through and it backed up my plumbing and leaked under my sink. I stopped using it all together

I wouldn't recommend putting gold fish in this small of a tank. Gold Fish create a TON of waste they need at least 10 gl tank to support them.

This one is for marine but they do make one for fresh water fish also and this is one of the best brands out there. I have been using it for years and my marine fish love it.

This is a very simple contraption. Will it hold up with "everyday" use? Depends on the abuse it takes. Our school bought this for an alternative to the rental dunk tank as the teachers didn't want to sit in the same tank of "dirty" water all day. It held up very well the first day we used it. And we used it all day. In 2 weeks we'll be using it for the second time so we ll have a better idea. But, keep in mind, rental users have little incentive to treat it well. I guess I'm saying to make the relatively small investment and see how it works out for you. Hope this helps.

i just looked and saw no lead mentioned? is that a joke? we have used the product a few times when we travel, i feel it is a good morning start up drink, much easier than taking vita mix, and our green house with us!

I bought this for my mom to pick up small items - and we have a fish tank,, so I understand what you're thinking. I would NOT recommend this for your tank. Even if you dry it, the retractable grabbers would not get completely dry and you would risk contaminating your tank in no time.

I just attended a seminar from the guys that do the show "Tanked" on Animal Planet. They recommend (if additional filtration is needed) an outside filter that sits adjacent to the tank. These supposedly provide much more thorough filtration than an in-tank system, and dramatically cut down on the biomass debris from food that can cause algae bloom and fish kills.

This is badly written; I think it's telling you two things that probably shouldn't be in the same sentence. One is that the bottle and filter you'd be buying here are made from plastics that don't contain Bisphenol A. The other is that all you're buying is the bottle and filter; you're not getting a whole water cooler for 40-some dollars. You have to buy the water cooler yourself, then put this bottle on it. There's no link to a water cooler because this bottle will go on many different types of water coolers.

I bought mine used at mine used at least two years ago and it's still going strong, but all you'd have to do is buy a new fish tank aerator. That's the only moving part. My cats really love it; there's always someone drinking at my house.

It is a good product, however the cloudiness of the water may be due to different causes: too much food, tank stabilization, overpopation of bateria so depending on your problem it may or may not work. sometimes people say it doesn't work because the issue they have will not get solve with this. If everything in the water is ok (chemically) this will help. New tank syndrome will help for a few hours and then come back. In those cases, you just have to wait for the tank to get over the stabilization period(new tank syndrome") for the water to clear up. Nothing else will work. I know it is not visually pretty but that just how it is.

It's great for relax in the sea having a drink and relax . Don't think it's for water activity but its great for collecting friends and laying down

It is, but I still wouldn't buy it. The lid leaks everywhere, so if you try to drink something on the go, you'll get it all over you.

It's the whole thing...what you see screws onto your tap. It works pretty good. A green light blinks when the filter is working and when it turns red you can taste the difference. Depending on your family size and usage, it lasts a few month. It's not so expensive that you shouldn't give it a try...see if it works for your family. My city water isn't too bad but I taste flouride and this eliminates the taste.

Yes. They make a lot of different ones that can be bought online or at places like Target, bed bath and beyond and such that sell the equipment. Personally I prefer to just add some fresh fruit juice to my glass along with the carbonated water. Healthier and cheaper AND tastier

What do you mean it's only for baking? I've been missing it with sparkling water to make lemon flavored seltzer. Is there something wrong with drinking this?

It will work fine.But my 2 cents is save your money on that product and do more water changes. Better for the fish.
