Can I get a Permanent single filter instead of a dual split filter ?

Yes you can either put a filter into the slot where your splitter basket would go, or you can get the easy to use the Hamilton Beach 80675 Permanent Gold Tone Filter, which makes your pot easier to clean than simply using the paper filter alone in the slot.

We just put a paper filter into the "basket" for our coffee. The coffee maker has a lift out brown plastic basket that uses paper filters. I tried buying a "metal mesh" permanent filter but it did not fit correctly in the coffee maker. It was a Hamilton Beach brand filter. Amazon was very willing to refund our money for it. We are perfectly happy with the paper filters.

Ihave not found one yet. This weekend I used the split basket to make a small amount of coffee. I put my desired amount of coffee, half in each side and brewed it into the carafe [warmed it with hot water while measuring coffee and adding water. USE THE 1-2 CUP SETTING. This takes 2-3 mins longer, but Coffee tasted excellent. Strong, needs less coffee to make just 2 cups. I do not use the travel cups,

No I purchased a separate inline filter for it, the unit is great better than one we purchased through our R/O vendor.

It came with one permanent and one pleated filter. You will eventually need to order more.

If you already have the single stage system, match the part # from the filter you have to this part # you want to buy. If they match your in business. The only problem is this particular product comes in a set of 2. So you will have a spare for the next filter change

You don't want a permanent filter - it simply won't work as well over time as one that gets replaced.

I bought the permanent filter, I prerer it. You could use normal paper basket filters as well.

The current filter we are looking at is Merv 11. For higher Merv value, you probably need to look for Merv and FC100A through search engine. Thanks.

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.

Contact John Chen at, sales@ispringfilters.com. He can give you exact items needed. They also sell filter supplies for this unit and can answer any tech questions you may have. I rate them 5 stars, higher if there was such a thing I've been their customer for 3 years and have had this system and have had excellent service from them.

Unfortunately one 1 filter. It makes a huge difference as it is pleated and much wider than the other ones.

Make absolutely certain you don't have two filters. Sometimes they stick together. I wet my finger a little before trying to separate them. If the filter feels like it's thicker, you probably have two filters stuck together. At least, that is what I found the problem to be when mine did that. They also have a little device made for picked up only one filter at a time. Not sure where to get one, but they work well too.

Yes you can use up to 3 filters at a time it has 3 slots available. But usually 1 only use max 2 filters just like you mentioned. Hope my explanation helps.

You can use 2 filters minimum and four maximum at a time. Don't know why you couldn't use two of each. There's nothing that would prevent it. I'd contact customer service at British Berkfeld to make sure that you'll be getting the benefits from this setup that you hope for. My experience with two filters has been great. Water from the tap here tastes awful but once it goes through the Berkie filter, it tastes great.

Mine came with a single filter. I did end up buying a couple more as spares though.

You can remove the gold-tone filter and use a regular paper cone filter instead. I have been doing it this way for months.
