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!

I can say that the water I get using these filters is great. No chemical taste, which our water does have without it. It's been a long time since I drank reverse osmosis water, so I can't remember to compare. Of course, if you want the cleanest water possible, removing even medication residues that are apparently showing up in our water systems, reverse osmosis gets it all, and these filters do not. We've been going back and forth about switching to reverse osmosis, for purer water. For taste alone, these are a great choice, and they remove things like heavy metals and chlorine. Where I live, when the city flushes the hydrants our water looks dirty from the unfiltered faucets, and these filters clean it right out, though we do have to change them more frequently when that happens!

Remove would not be the correct description. It will reduce dissolved minerals in the 70 to 95% range. So if you start with very high dissolved solids for example and iron sulfide is one of the dissolved salts there will still be some left. That said, when you smell iron you are really smelling H2S being liberated by iron reducing bacteria in the water supply system. The carbon filter in this device will remove that to below detection level.

I dont havr the sheet with me but i think so. On Berkeys website it will tell you what it filters. I know it does remove alot of taste from it. I live on San Antonio Texas and we have aquafer water. When I drink my girfriends Berky water it has almost no taste at all.

If you have any mineral content in your water it will slowly plug your machine and you will have to decalcify more often. Also removes any mineral taste you might have.

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.

I would refer you to the Berkey website. They list all the types of things their filters can deal with. Not knowing what the specifics are, I would not be able to say. You could send them an email. I am sure they would respond. I do know that their filter systems are used worldwide for clean water in remote places.

In my experience with water that had a moderate level of chlorine, it had removed it well. I've never had any taste make it through the filter other than crisp water.

The filter is designed to improve taste by removing chlorine and micro-organisms. It does help with odor. It will remove particular matter but will not remove "hardness".

I am sure it does...but depending where u are, te water has a high calcium content meaning the filter will not last long. Mine lasted for not even a mth with little usage in the Virgin Islands with a high salt water content. Good luck as I eared to send mine back,,.but it was too much of a hassle so I just use the cup in the fridge for water on the go and filter is history as too expensive to continue to replace.

I dont know about sulfer, but I have a huge amt of iron in the water that makes the water smell and it takes that odor and taste away. I am pleased with this filter. My water goes in orange and comes out clear.

I can't say for sure but I don't think so. It's more for chlorine and sediments. It improved the taste of our tap water.

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 .

No it should not, unless your tap water tastes amazing. The water coming from my Tap Master filter tastes noticeably cleaner than our tap water. You should get a water test kit to find out for sure, and return it if it's not working properly.

I'm not really sure but I noticed that the filter makes the water odorless when I drink it.
