filter installed in your home. We all know that
water contains many contaminants, as it comes
from different sources, therefore it is essential
to have a water filtration system to avoid health
problems. A water filter removes all the
impurities by minimizing contamination of water
using a fine physical barrier, a chemical
process, or a biological process.

Activated Carbon Filters Activated carbon
filters are also known as carbon filters or
pre-filters. These type of filters are generally
responsible for removing larger particles like
sediment and silt from your water. An activated
carbon filter will also ensure of the good odor
and tastes much better. This is because they

contaminants that can make your water smelly or

treat water, it has the ability to destroy
various bacteria that can be damaging to your
health. If you want a more environment friendly w
ay of purifying your water, this filter may well
be the answer because it doesnt need any
chemicals or additional heat to be effective.

Alkaline/Water Ionizers These filters use a
process known as electrolysis. In this process,
the water is passed over plates which are
electrically charged, and its separated into two
streams. One is alkaline and the other is acidic.
As a result, you get softer water, thats low in
acidity is much better for your skin as well.
Ceramic Filters Ceramic filters are normally a
cartridge, style filter. They are used in a bench
top or under sink system. Ceramics are comprised
of fossil substances, made up of tiny silicon
shells. Contaminants are trapped in the pores of
the ceramic. These systems are effective but
require more maintenance than carbon filters can
be more expensive.
