What are the benefits?

One of the main benefits of a water filtration system is that it keeps out harmful pollutants that are present in non-filtered water, which means you can enjoy a fresh glass of water without worrying how it will taste or if it will affect your stomach later on. It also means less need for water bottles, saving you a significant amount in the long run.

What are the different types of water filtration systems?

Below are a few of the most common water filtration devices installed in homes.

Carbon filters: These are known for reducing odors and eliminating impurities. These filters work by passing water through activated carbon, a porous substance that expertly traps impure particles.

Ultraviolet water treatment: This system uses ultraviolet light to disinfect water and treat heterotrophic bacteria within the water.

Water softeners: Water softeners are perhaps one of the most popular types of water filtration systems available. These systems use sodium chloride tablets or potassium chloride to reduce the effects of hard water.

Reverse osmosis: This reverses the natural flow of water, causing it to pass from a concentrated solution to a diluted solution through a semipermeable membrane.

Distillers: With this system, the water is cleaned through a heating process. Once water reaches the boiling point, it will begin to evaporate and leave behind the harmful bacteria and chemicals.
