Will this remove microcystin from the water?

I've actually never heard of it up until you asked this. I did some research and found that the cell size is 0.5 um^3. So if the cell is 0.5 microns the filter will get rid of it because it filters down to 0.05 microns.

This thing sucks ........Its so hard to pull water through it its not worth using.....I WILL not use this

No. A filter such as this removes microorganisms down to about 3 microns. Bacteria and viruses are much smaller. You should use water disinfectant tablets (chlorine) in addition to the filter or boil the water. There are also better and more expensive filters available (e.g. First Need water purifier). Boiling also kills viruses.

I don't believe it will! I believe it is a taste and sediment filter only! As far as I know the filtration of microbes or bacteria is beyond this filters capability!

I don't believe so. The water filter is designed to remove organic impurities from treated water. If you are experiencing rust, it may be coming from your water heater or pipes and needs to be addressed from that channel.

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.

No you do not want to use river or lake water as it does not remove bacteria. You would need the advance or standard bottle to use lake or river water as they do remove bacteria.

My previous response was based on taste. I trust that the filtration process will remove the chlorine and other harmful contaminates.

I don't know. I only used it to remove chlorine. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

No. It absolutely does not remove chlorine or fluoride from your water. In order to do that you need a reverse osmosis water system, or go the cheap route like I have for the last 10 years, and get a water distiller. They cost about a 100.00 dollars. Takes 5-6 hours todistill a gallon and mine has lasted 10 years. They're not exactly convienient, but I make drink and use about 2 gallons a week and Brita filteted tap water besides that. For the record I just threw my 80.00 zen water filter in the dumpster 2 nights ago. In addition to not actually altering the pH in any measurable way, it removed very few particulates when compared with my tapeater. Avoid this manufacturer. The technology is useless. My Brita works way better. Again: only R.O. or a distiller will remove fluoride and chlorine. BTW the reason I finally the it out was because the spigot broke irreparably. I would use it simply to store actual filtered/distilled water in it and it looked cool.

My belief is that it doesn't. What it does do is add ozone to the water which is good for disinfecting and it also makes the veggies last longer when you rinse them with this water but it will not make your water drinking water if it is not purified through another source.

The representative from hydronix stated that the carbon filter would reduce chloramine levels . (which is good, because they are about to "upgrade" our water to chloramine). I believe that chloramine is more difficult to remove than some other compounds; so, I doubt it will be perfect.. im not sure what a better alternative would be, though.

This is just a 2 filter sediment filtration. It will take out down to 1 micro depending on what filter you put in it. A reverse osmosis will filter most everything out of the water, but it is more expensive.

No. It purely moves water from skimmer through the filter and back into the pool.

I am not really sure. I believe so as long as you get it wet with the solution. Because I was constantly taking it on and off because I was worried about the microbubbles. Once I used the solution to apply it again, it worked.

I'm not sure, if it's hard water you will need a "hard water remover" if it's not hard water i'm pretty sure it will remover almost anything. This machine is amazing!

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this filter removes 99.99% of Chlorine.

It depends on the size of the filter. Moving water faster does not clean the water better. For advise 320-695-2899.
