How to Choose Best Water Filter?

 

·        What type of filtration system do you need?

There are various types of filtration systems available and all of them have different functionality. This is an example of filtration technology that is often used. You need to know which filter technology is right for you.

Reverse Osmosis	·         One of the simplest and most efficient filtration techniques is reverse osmosis (RO), and it has been around for a while. ·         In reverse osmosis, contaminants are separated from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane. ·         RO membranes can normally remove between 96 and 99 percent of most impurities, including salts, minerals, colours, particles, bacteria, and hazardous metals.
Ultraviolet (UV)	·         All living things in the water are exposed to UV light when it goes through a UV water filter system during the ultraviolet water treatment process. ·          UV radiation damages the genetic code of the microorganism and rearranges its DNA, rendering it incapable of functioning and reproducing.
Carbon and Activated Charcoal Filters	·         In order to physically trap or catch impurities and separate them from the water that comes into your home, absorption water filters use carbon and activated charcoal. ·         When activated by oxygen, charcoal's ability to attract and bind possible water pollutants improves.

Each water filter has a different size. If you have a large number of family members, buy a water filter with a larger tank. Choose a water filter that fits with daily amount of water needed.
