Types of Water Filtration

After testing the drinking water in case one finds large levels of chemicals then it is better to invest in water purifiers or water filters. In order to make the water filter or water purifier work effectively one has to always maintain it properly or else there are possibilities that the filter or the purifier may mot work. Selecting a water filter is normally based of certain factors. If a person is living in his own house then he can install any type of water filter depending upon his preference. However, if he is staying in a rented house then he should install a water filter that can be easily removed or non-evasive.

Different Types of Water Filters

There are different types of water filters that are available in the market such as carbon-activated filter, reverse-osmosis purifiers and distillers.

- Carbon-activated filters are said to be one of the most simple and cost effective water filters. These water filters include pitchers that have built-in filters and also those which are attached directly to plumbing below the sink or faucets. One of the slightly less effective one is the block charcoal filters that use granulated charcoals. Carbon filters normally eliminate chlorine, lead, few organic chemicals and coarse sediments.

- Reverse-osmosis filters are one of the most expensive and most comprehensive water purifiers. These water purifiers push water up against the casings. The water which does not enter contains contaminants and is normally diverted as waste. These water purifiers that remove contaminants include asbestos, pesticides and heavy metals. Radon, Lindane, VOC, Atrazine and Trihalomethanes are some of the contaminants that cannot be eliminated by the reverse-osmosis water purifiers without attaching carbon filters.

- Distillers normally do not eliminate all the contaminant substances from the drinking water. However, they eliminate asbestos, cysts, viruses, bacteria, nitrates & heavy metals and do not remove decaying vegetation, organic chemicals, chlorine, VOC, pesticides and trihalomethanes. Moreover, distillers also soften water by eliminating magnesium and calcium that are helpful to human health. Water which is softened is more likely to filter chemicals from storage containers. These are the main types of water filters that are available in the market. Your requirements and the level of contaminants in your water will assist you choose which water filter will work best for you. Prices of water filters normally vary from below 100 dollars and more than 1000 dollars. The amount of water filtration is also varied from different types of filters.
