Does this filter remove hormones?

RO-ES50 system uses a high quality, .0001 micron Reverse Osmosis membrane and 3 carbon filters so it is designed to remove high levels of hormones and pharmaceutical drugs from water.

no it does not. you can have the sanitize function on or off and the filter rate is manually controlled up to level 5

We do not use the filter. We do have to rinse I out every couple days. Not sure if the filter would help with that or not. It is very easy to do though.

Definitely. This does not take the place of your filter. It just makes the chemicals easier to deal with. No green hair not a lot of maintenance to keep the water clean!

In my opinion it does. Before using the filter, I could smell the chlorine in my shower water. Once I installed the filter, I did not smell the chlorine.

Yes, but it doesn't last long at all! 2 weeks max regardless of useage before the filter fouls.

Sorry I only use this filter. It does the job for me. I have no clarifier on this.

Yes it does. I tried carbon filters, ionizers and many others. I tested this with the local health department, and ALL of the fluoride was removed. This is the ideal unit to remove this toxic chemical.

Hi.Yes good and bad minerals are filtered out.If you have fluoride in your water I'm pretty sure that gets filtered out too.

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.

Mine came set up for recirculating. The filter will not remove all odor but will help eliminate most of it. Charcol filte can be replaced when needed

Hello Yuki, The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos. The company does not test for other heavy metals. The filters do not remove potassium, calcium, or magnesium. The system's carbon filter also removes many organic compounds, which are listed in their literature. Please see their web site for more details: http://www.aquasana.com/product_detail.php?product_id=51 We like our filter, which we purchased to improve the flavor of our morning coffee. This system does not replace a water softener. Sincerely, Robert Ashton, MD, PhD

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.

No. The big berkeys have a filter that will remove fluoride but this does not. This shower filter also has a warning to not drink whatever water goes through the filter.

If I remember correctly, the company info indicates that the filter on this unit removes 65% of the fluoride in water that it filters. I think that information is on their web site at this link (http://www.ecoflowater.com/composite-test-results).

It says that it does in the description where it lists chemicals removed. Haven't tried it but would think so.

There are many filters on the market that remove chlorine and other particulates, but the Omica Shower Filter that I purchased is one of the few that claims to remove fluoride, too. That is why I bought it, but I have not had it tested. If I find that it does not remove fluoride, I will not purchase another.
