Will this unit Desalinate? Can it be used for drinking water?

I've been using it to ozonate water to drink and I've also used it for purifying various rooms in my home. I'm very happy with this product. I'm not sure if it does something to PH or not, I haven't checked.

This is a portable unit that stuctures water not a filter for another unit. You just pour unstrctured water into the top and have another container under the funneled part. I usually use two water bottles. It works perfectly. You can carry it in your purse or suitcase when traveling. I wouldn't put it in the checked suitcase but in the carry on suitcase because I would worry about it being damaged in route. I have been extremely happy with mine for drinking water and water I use for my plants. You can definitely taste the difference between the unstructured and structured water. I would highly recommend it

Technically it can. Ideally you should use distilled water. However,I think the change would be minimal.

Probably not because it doesn't have drain holes unless you want to empty the collected water. It would be hard to clean because of the internal dividers.

Probably, yes. I use it with a reverse osmosis system, and it's a real improvement. I replaced the one that came with the system.

I have no idea, I do not use a water filter with this unit. I refill the water jugs with filtered water.

No but I just removed the di filter and it worked fine for drinking. I run the waste water into the washer so I don't waste it

No. This filter will not accomplish that. You will need a reverse osmosis system to do that. Also, please remember to take important mineral supplements when drinking that highly effective purification system water. The same goes for distilled water. If you can afford a reverse osmosis water purification system, it is the best choice of all for healthy water to drink. Another cost for such luxury is your water bill will go up (if you pay for metered water as I do), because I think it takes five gallons of water to make one gallon of purified water.

Not to the system itself i don't think but with the set up I have you could. I have a 275g clean water tank and a bad water tank where the system dispenses the RO water. attached to the tanks are seperate hoses one for watering plants and the other for its intended purpose. I use this water for my mobile detailing company and its the best water I have ever used in the ten years of detailing. Much better then the DI tanks I once used. Hope this is helpful.

Not necessarily....however, the waste water will have to be drained after each use. I found this unit to be very satisfactory and enjoyable to use on a daily basis.

The instructions do not state what type of water. I use distilled so it doesn't get a build-up on the unit.

Yes. But if I were using it for drinking water, would set it aside exclusively for that use only (and of course make sure your hoses are clean before each use).

yes. we do not have a water filter, just use a combo of filtered water from our 'fridge and distilled water. we descale it regularly.

Yes, and be sure to run water through the filter for a minute to flush out any carbon particles, etc. If this is to be water for drinking, use a recommended drinking water hose instead of a regular garden hose.

No. You only use water in this unit. Go to Homedics site and they can verify this question for you.

I use water from my Brita pitcher and I haven't had any problems. I have had the unit for about 6 months.
