The directions on this filter mention an "optional giardia filter"...are these included in the original filter or must they be ordered separately..??

You are most welcome. Glad I could help. I had to read it through a couple of times myself to finally figure it out. Keri-lynn

That's a good question. I can only tell you what is written on the back of the product packaging. It states: "The Pure Sip Filter is supplied with a set of three final filter discs, in bottom rubber boot, to assist in the removal of giardia. Install one filter disc in the cap. Make sure that the disc is seated properly and screw the cap on the tube light [sic]. Replace the filter disc when suction through the unit becomes difficult. You may replace the filter disc up to three times. The clogging of the filter discs is dependent on the level of suspended particulate matter present in the water source." Hopefully that covers it. It does appear the giardia disc is in the rubber boot which is on the bottom of the filter. Keri-Lynn Four Seasons Survival

I apologize to you that I am unable to answer this question for you. I ordered the filters but I had someone else install it for me, so I have no idea of what you are asking me. I am so sorry! The person I had install it, had no problem at all and it works super great for me! I just cannot answer your question. I would try contacting the company and asking them.

There was one included when I bought mine. What you can do when that filter gets clogged is purchase a $4.00 vent filter (the blue ones) and just cut it to fit the unit. Works pretty well for $4.00. Saves a ton of money.

No. My order didn't.But these filters are available at any hardware or home center. Even WalMart.

If you ordered a "replacement" cartridge, then I must assume you have the New Wave Enviro Shower Filter "System"...meaning the casing that attaches to the shower faucet on one end and the shower head on the other end. If you have that, there is no special holder that you will need. If you don't have the system then order that (keep the filter you have already received to replace the filter in a year). The system will come with a filter. The word "system" sounds elaborate, but it is not. It is just the case you need to hold the filter. I still find this brand to be better than the Sprite brand that I used previously.

I had the instructions for when I bought my filter. I scanned them onto my desktop. If you email me at mwgolden3@verizon.net I'll send them to you.

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

They take the filter Eureka DCF-4/DCF-18. The manual in mine said not to wash the filters, and you can get them here on Amazon for about $8, non-brand name.

Yes it does come with one filter. Yes I would go ahead and keep an extra filter or two on hand. They do work nice and collect. I rinse mine off, but will need changed soon. Not sure why, but my filter's charcoal was pieces, my son opened the filter, removed the charcoal, and now I just have a filter to catch hair and dirt. We use a water filter on our faucet, so do not need the charcoal.

None - you order the filters separately. There are several/many different filters depending on what your application is. Simply sawdust? Chemical fumes? Buy the filters that fit your use.

I found them at http://www.bigalspets.com/filter-cartridge-for-dive-clean-mini-3-pk.html they are $6 for a three pack. But truth be told i have never needed a new filter all I do is rinse out the sponge in some used aquarium water and pop open the carbon filter assembly and replace the carbon but I can understand wanting to replace the filters.

We had the same situation. We bought this tub (nice tub) expecting to be able to immediately order a spare filter for swapping out and using the tub nonstop. I had to take the numbers right off of the filter and do an internet search. They are a common filter and on the low end of price :-) I don't have the numbers written down to give you but when I did the search I remember I found it very quickly from multiple spa and hot tub suppliers. If you have any hot tub stores near you I assume they probably have one on the shelf. Enjoy!

I don't remember but I'm pretty sure it's not included. You can get a small one for this filter cheap at Walmart or any pet store

Yes you can. I had the same problem you did, none of the stores carry the filter. Mine was a plastic filter, looks like it was made from recycled plastic, not sure, but it worked. These filters are cloth, and supposed to be allergen quality. They are washable, and work much better than the plastic one that came with the unit. I ordered six (two packages of 3), but that was overkill. Still using the first one I took out of the package. One package of 3 should last you awhile.

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

No, just the filter itself. I am assuming you would need to order that part separately as needed. You should not need another ring each time you change the filter, only if yours is cracked. My set up is 13 years old and I have never changed the ring.
