Question

Is it permissible to buy a Tami 4 water bar for Shabbat? I should note that this water bar does not have a filter bypass. As far as I know, Rabbi Rubin permits the use of the water bar on Shabbat. I would like to know the opinion of the Rabbi, shlita.

Answer

Shalom and blessings

According to the opinion of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, filtration is prohibited as it constitutes selection.

Therefore, it should not be used without a bypass.
