Water Filter Systems

Water filter systems installed in your home can use a filtration action to eliminate trace metals, synthetic chemicals and organic chemicals from your water supply. The most common of these are chlorine and lead (which was widely used in water mains piping and household plumbing). By filtering out these contaminants water quality is not only healthier and odor free but has a much improved taste.

There are numerous filtration systems available for your home needs such as:

Micro porous ceramic filters – This strain water through tiny pores that sieve out harmful elements. After a while the filter will get clogged up, but can be unclogged by running water through the opposite direction.

Granular activated carbon and carbon block resin filters – These apply a similar process. But will need to be replaced every so often depending on the amount of water being filtered.

Water distillers – This process involves boiling water and condensing the steam back to water. Although this can produce pure water, it also removes the waters natural minerals, and is not very efficient as it losses a lot of water through evaporation.

Reverse osmosis filters – invented to transform sea water into drinking water, and is probably the most effective filtering process available. But again this method also removes the waters natural minerals.

Water filters can be installed on any water appliances throughout your house. These can be counter top filters, under sink filters, or even shower filters. However by installing a whole house water filter system at the mains entry point all your water appliances will be supplied with fresh filtered water.

Water filter systems offer many benefits to you and your family, and we all want our water to be clean and safe to drink. We have become far more aware and concerned about the quality of water that is supplied to our homes, which we use daily to wash, bathe and drink.

Water qualities can be varied depending on which region you live in, it could be high in minerals, metals, hard or soft, and also prone to contaminants so it is worth being informed of the quality of water that is supplied to your home. As an example, chlorine is a well known disinfectant used in our water supply, and can cause problems to some people over a long period.

Additional matter that can be found in tap water:

- Disinfectants

- Disinfectant Byproducts

- Micro Organisms

- Organic Chemicals

- Synthetic Chemicals

As an alternative bottled water has become very popular in recent years, but is criminally over priced in comparison to tap water. There is also the additional problem with the disposal of the plastic containers that they come in. This has now become a serious environmental problem because of the vast numbers that are now clogging up landfill sites.

However water filter systems offer a superior solution in both economic and practical terms. By filtering your water supply you can have peace of mind that the water is pure, healthy and has a crisp refreshing taste, for a very reasonable price.

Choosing water filter systems:

There are many different types of filtration systems available today, but it is worth noting that the better the system, the higher quality of pure water that is delivered. So care should be taken to find the right water filter that suits your needs. You can choose from portable, whole house, faucet, shower and more.

Water filter systems once installed in your house require minimal maintenance, in fact you can pretty much forget about them. The only task that is required of you is to change the filter cartridge once every six months or so, to keep you supplied with limitless healthy pure water.

Depending on what contaminants are in your water, there are different water filter systems and filter cartridge combinations that should fit your requirements. Here is a brief description of these systems.

Canister or Pitcher filters have become hugely popular over recent years, and are the simplest type of water filter. They’re appealing because they appear to be cheap, but in the long term they are not only expensive due to the short life of the filters, but are also the least effective water filter systems. So you end up paying a lot for very little gain.

Faucet or Counter Top filters are simply water filters that can be very easily attached to a faucet of your choice. They are simple screw on attachments so are easy to install and remove. These water filter systems only filter the water supply coming through the faucet that they are attached to. The water filter cartridges can be single or multi, depending on your requirements.  

Under sink water filter systems are pretty much the same as faucet or counter top filters with the exception that they are out of sight. They offer the same benefits and options, and can also be installed easily.

Shower filters can be attached in no time at all and are designed to remove abrasive elements that can be found in tap water. This can be very beneficial to people who suffer from skin conditions and breathing problems.

Whole house water filters offer the optimum water filter system by being attached to your incoming mains water supply. The advantage of this is that all your homes water is filtered and fresh for drinking and bathing. However unlike the other water filter systems this one does require a qualified plumber to be installed.
