Does the biosand filter remove salt from sea water? What about pesticides, industrial contaminants or other chemicals?

The BSF does not remove the salt in sea water. The BSF does not remove chemicals that are dissolved in the water, such as pesticides, industrial contaminants or fluoride.

Some changes to the filter are possible to help remove arsenic.
