How many hours does it take for the water to go through the filter. Its been 5 hours and my tank has only 2". It drip only one drip at a time. Is this unusual?

The first few times the filter is ran, you should expect about 12 hours for the basin to fill. After that, we average between 6-8. They do sell a high flow top filter for $15 from their main website and it is worth the extra cash. Good luck!

Does it remove fluoride?

ALESSANDRA VASYUTA: is completely incorrect and spreading misinformation. Hexafluorosilicic is a byproduct of the phosphate fertilizer industry, through unscrupulous means is dumped into our water instead of having to pay for proper disposal. The benefits of fluoride to enamel only occur topically. Fluoride can have many negative effects if ingested: including skeletal fluorosis. Individuals living in parts of India, for example or other places that also suffer from malnutrition, compound this effect and face severe deformities from skeletal fluorosis. Even your teeth can be damaged from fluoride, dental fluorosis damages your enamel... where's your precious fluoride now? Fluoride increases your absorption of heavy metals, especially aluminum, people with a family history of Alzheimer's are at great risk. Lobbyists in the US pervert our democratic process and harm people by turning a profit and dumping a chemical they otherwise would have to pay an extremely costly disposal of, the chemicals we use for water fluoridation are banned in Europe. The internet didn't tell people it was safe, scientific research, that you're ignoring, validates the dangers. You're living a lie, ignorant garbage human.

Does the base have to be used or not. Seems the height is above normal wall cabinet door and will obstruct......

You don't need the base if you can get a glass under the spigot...Actually the spigot hangs below into the base area so it would have to be out to the edge of the cabinet for the spigot to hang and a glass to fill with the water...Don't forget you have to take the lid off to add water every day...

Does this gallon filter comes with its filter and the ceramic dome? or have to buy it separated, I just want to be sure!!!

yes, ceramic filter and 5 stage filter unit come with the Zen system. I ordered two extra sets anyways. I'm at 1 1/2 years with original unit. Clean ceramic filter every 3 months with green scrub pad.
