I have had this pitcher for a few years now, and yes, attaching to a faucet appears to be the only way for the water to go through the filter. It comes with a faucet adapter and is very quick and simple to hook and unhook. It is a great filter pitcher system and the filters last a long time. Has a red/green indicator to tell you when to change the filter.

Yes. The hose is attached to the pitcher. We needed to purchase a separate nipple from the hardware store so that we could connect the hose to the faucet. It fills quickly.

Yes the entire tube must fill before plugs start exiting to top. No the effort isn't that great IF the soil in relatively moist/not compacted If you're using on hard clay etc. it will take good effort.I think the tube is tapered larger from bottom to top to make the plugs flow easily too.

Very. Just fill can, screw on top with wick and drop in. I use a funnel to fill.

Its a small (gallon or so) resevoir container. Its way too small so I use a large bucket instead. It would be an improvement to have an attatchment option to hook up to a faucet.

make sure that you are filling on the side of the base that says that it is for water. (one side of the green base says fill here for water, one says fill here for food ) If you accidentally screw the wrong side of the base into the container, all the water will spill out. It works great when it is in the right side.

When filling the top, make sure the bottom chamber is not full. If you put more water in the top chamber when the bottom is full, you may overfill the bottom chamber. The Berkey Guy

No, you remove the tank and fill from the bottom. There's a useful handle on the top but not on the bottoms which I find very annoying. It's hard to hold while filling.

Pull the salt top section off - just above the black seal. You can fill from top. Hope this helps.

You have to add either your own sand or water - no both. Use a funnel to fill it.

Docseed ... It's a very simple hook-up. I did it myself and I am the world's worst plumber. The quik-connect from your grill should connect to your stub-line. You might need an extra adaptor from your hardware store to connect to your stub. You just need to make sure you have no leaks when the job is finished and a little soapy detergent will confirm that for you. If you're not comfortable doing the job yourself, by all means, use a plumber. Good luck!

You have to pump the top up and down to build up the pressure in the container, then you'll be good to go!

Yes, that is what is for. It is a bit hard to plug it onto the fitting, and the small tank has to be removed - follow instrutions and you will be OK

Directions are to add the bag to one gallon water. That has worked for me. If you want to use filtered water, that is okay, since the Prills actually adds back some of the micro minerals removed by filtering. Use a good, clean 1 gal container to start. Add the prills, fill with water. I forget how long you wait, 4 hrs or something like that. Then you should be good to go. Refill when you are down to about a quart or so. That will act as a "starter" for the next gallon.

No it is very easy to fill. Just take off the top and pour in your batter. I usually mix my batter up in a measuring cup and then it is easy to pour into the dispenser. Like the other people said, this is the best dispenser I have purchased!

I fill mine up, let it filter to the bottom and then top it off until totally full to the line at the lid. NO PROBLEM

No, you must remove the tank from base and fill from the bottom ( not that difficult )

No, but you can probably install one. There is a float level gauge on the filler cap.
