would a water filter like the ones people mount to faucet help water quality?



is it good for goldfish?... is it at least better than plain tap water?
:listen:

It might clear out debrees from the water, but other than that I'm not realy sure.
Sorry!

I would love to know too coz I got one that was suggested by our LFS

YES!it's actually an oxygenator for water

DOES it keep away any good bacteria or anythin???

ANY kind of water purifier would be good for goldfish?

dunno. pull up a link to the specs on it and let's take a look at how it works and what it removes.

This is the one that I use.The LFS said that it gets rid of chlorine and iron rust.I'm not sure if it's 100% reliable though so I still add dechlorinator

Do you have a link to their website? They should have specifics on what it removes from the water. Sounds like it may use activated carbon.

I can't find a link that is english.The link I have is in japanese

I have a Brita filter and it looks like it uses Carbon. It states it has 2 filters built in.

The first one reduces:
Lead, Copper, Mercury, Cadmium, Benzene, Toulene, & Tetrachloroethylene.
The 2nd. one reduces:
Chlorine, Taste & Odor, Particulate-Clas V, & Zinc.

Nasty sounding stuff! Makes you wonder what we are putting in OUR bodies!

It also states that it keeps a healthy level of Fluoride. I wonder if fluorided is good for goldies? They don't have any teeth!

I never used it for my goldies but I can tell you that the filtered water tastes great!

The one that I use is called - Marfied Direct Bee -
It is used for aquariums only and not for drinking.I'll try to find a link in english

Be very careful about using Brita-filtered water in a tank as it takes the pH right down between 5.0 and 6.0: you could stress the fish badly.
