What are water filtration systems?
Water filtration systems filter contaminants out of the tap water. A water filtration system will eliminate bacteria, cyanide, arsenic and more. They do so in one of several ways, depending on the type of system. Most homes will benefit from some type of carbon or reverse osmosis filtration system. Water testing or local water reports combined with usage habits will help determine the best type of system for your needs.
Some families prefer an under-the-sink option, or a countertop filter. Others will want a whole-house filtration system.
Types of water filtration systems:
An activated carbon filtration system uses microscopic carbon particles to filter the water by absorbing contaminants. It is a chemical reaction and is extremely effective.
A reverse osmosis system works by trapping microscopic contaminant particles in a semipermeable layer. An RO system is not as efficient as a carbon filtration system, as it uses much more water. It also requires several filter passes to be effective.
An alkaline water ionizer employs a type of electrolysis--light and heat. It has the added benefit in that it makes water softer.
An ultraviolet filter is a system which uses UV rays to kill bacteria in the water. It is a chemical free option and one of the newer, more effective technologies available.
An infrared filter uses a negative charge to filter the water with heat and light. It is a similar system to an alkaline filter.
In many instances, a combination of more than one of these types of technologies are used in a filtering system to produce the best filtration results.
