i was just wondering if it has any side effects, and if it cleans water

Yes. There will be no side effects. It will remove chlorine and other gasses, as well as some organics. It will do as good a job as the carbon filters for drinking water, if not a better job. Rinse it w/ clear water to remove the powdery residue. The residue is not harmful if you swallow it. Charcoal (carbon) is an ages old remedy for upset stomach. A mixture of charcoal and baking soda is still available at health food stores for acid indigestion and was avail OTC at any pharmacy up until about 20 or so years ago when Tums, Rolaids, etc. marketing pushed it to extinction.

Filter life up to 12 months or 1000 gallons
0.5-micron (nominal) filtration
Reduces asbestos, chlorine taste and odor, and sediment

i wanted to make one of those pet water fountains like the kind that they drink from, and it was too expensive to buy one. I already have plans of how to make it, but it uses a fish tank filter which uses carbon to filter , while the pet fountains uses charckoal (i know i spelled that wrong) to filter it. even though fish are more sensative and live in that water, different animals react differently to different things. All i want to do is make sure that the carbon is not going to hurt him. I hope that all makes sense.
THANK YOU!!!

Hello; Yes, filtered water is better than contaminated water... but any decent city or town in the US has decent drinking water. I think the most important thing is NOT to give your cat milk, as some do, and to have his/her food and water in a stainless steel bowl.

I change my dogs' water daily... sometimes more, depending on the day... my wife doesn't do that with her cat, so her cat drinks my dogs water... she's not stupid! I also wash my dogs' bowls daily, just as I'd want my own dishes washed.

Since you're sincere in your concern for your cat, I'd recommend that changing the water; making certain it's always fresh, is just as important, if not more so, than using filtered water... the big deal about those expensive water dispensers is that the fountain keeps the water moving, so bacteria cannot form, like a fast moving stream, as compared to... a swamp. If your homemade fountain will move the water, that's very cool! send me your plans!!! I'll try making one for our household pets.

Next, let's talk about food (I know, you didn't ask, but as a pet lover, I feel the need to share my philosophy). I buy my dog Premium dog food, Hill's Science Diet, Natures Best... it's about the best available here in Puerto Rico, when I lived in Michigan, I bought him Nutro... I'm considering a move to a better food, but I'm currently studying dog nutrition, (which is different than cat nutrition), because I want to give him as best as I can... If I have to pay $30 for a 18lb bag of food, I don't mind, since I can spend twice that in one meal for me and the wife.... when it takes him two months to eat that bag! I love my dog, and he deserves that, I feel. With that said, I would also urge you to think about what you feed your cat, and if you could do better, please do so. If all you can afford is the Shopping center food, then buy your cat Purina One, it's the best by far than any other brand, carried by any of the mega marts in the world... if you buy at a petsmart, ask some of the specialist employees, and readup online... expensive doesn't always mean best, or even good! I thank you for letting me voice what is a real concern (and an epidemic here in PR!), Please everyone, take care of your pets!


I hope you found this useful;

The polish man next door gave me a big (ok- HUGE) bottle of it, cause he always sees me drinking water. But I am kind of ify about it. It seems very fizzy, and not like regular water.
help!

The carbon dioxide will make the water acidic so it will have a sour taste. It won't hurt you to drink it every now and then, but plain water is defiantly better for you.

Is simple soda water bad for you? We breath carbon dioxide which not necessarily good or bad, so what so different drinking water that's carbonated? How does this simple carbonated water steal calcium from your bones?
I'm talking about the simple carbonated water that sometimes comes from soda fountains(NO SUGAR/SALT ADDED). NOT like the club soda or other sodas that has salt or sweeteners added.
Sometimes those soda fountains with sprite sometimes have free water and free soda tabs-(that soda).

It withers away enamel from teeth, and carbon dioxide changes pH of serous fluid surrounding bone and some tissue. It also does burn the esophagus.
