Types Of Water Filters
Many people are starting to become concerned by what is in their
drinking water. Water filters and filtration systems are
becoming popular in homes across the country. Safety is one
concern, but taste is another that water filters address.
Contaminants are the cause of particles or bad taste. Testing
your water for contaminants is the first step. If contaminants
are found you can then look into a water filter.
The type of water filter you chose will be based upon a few
factors. If you own your home you can pretty much install any
water filter you chose, but if you do not own your home then you
are limited to water filters that are non-evasive or easily
removed. Costs also vary from under $100 to over $1000. The
amount of filtration also varied from filter to filter. To start
with you should familiarize yourself with the types of water
filters available.
Whole house filters are set up through the main water line that
comes into the house. This type of water filter removes
contaminants from all the water entering your home. A whole
house system is good for removing particles like rust and
sediment.
Under sink filters come in a variety of styles. There are
filters that take multiple cartridges or only one. Each type of
under sink filter is designed to remove different contaminants.
Some may only remove particles while others may have additional
cartridges to remove odors and taste problems. These can be
bought according to the particular needs based on the
contaminants in your water. They only filter water going to the
area where the filter is installed.
Faucet-mounted filters are easy to install and remove. It only
filter the water coming out of the faucet where it is installed.
There is not mounting required as most simply screw onto the
faucet. These types of filters also come in a variety that can
be chosen based upon what contaminants are in your water.
Canister filters are the simplest form of water filter. These
filters are basically just a pitcher with a filtration system in
the lid. Water is poured in, goes through the filter to the
reserve tank (pitcher bottom) and then can be drank. The only
water filtered is what is put in the pitcher.
These are the basic types of water filters. Your needs and the
contaminants in your water will help you decide which water
filter will work best for you.
