Water Purifiers Filters A Tool To Life

By Zachus J Winestone

A majority of impurities and poisonous substances which pollute water is coming from industry wastes. As a result, diseases originating from water consumption is increasing day by day. The contaminated water is also a carrier of deadly diseases like cancer in most countries around the globe. Water has lost its property of being pure and having the capability to make other things pure. Its no more a refreshing drink. Toxic metals such as arsenic, copper, radon and copper as well as microbes such as Giardia Lamblia are the main reason for water pollution. These are very dangerous for it can even cause pre-birth issues, let alone attacking adult health. The role of a reliable water purifier becomes necessary in this situation to take care of our health.

When we use water purifiers/filters, we not only get safe water, but it also provides a great taste. The taste is clean and pleasantly new. Your choice for water filters will depend upon your budget and the preferences for the style.

Some Choices

On-faucet water filters: These easy to install water purifiers come with a dense carbon block which helps in filtering harmful bacteria, odors, chemicals and other toxins present in the water. Since the carbon block filters all these toxins, it needs to be changed from time to time. These days most of these filters have an indicator to tell you when you need to change the filter. Earlier these filters were bulky and occupied too much space, however, these days you get compact filters which effectively filter the water and enhance the taste.

Counter Top water filters: These filters are also known for their ease of installation. They have a ceramic filter which is generally used in combination with carbon to filter all kinds of impurities. However these filters require a lot of space on the counter.

An under the sink filter is both small and kept hidden away by being installed, as the name implies, under your sink. The cartridge filtration system means that you will occasionally need to buy a new cartridge.

It is possible to separate water filters based on what they of filtration system they have.

Water purifying device using activated charcoal.

Charcoal is the active ingredient in such filtering systems as the Brita or Pur ones. This charcoal technology is a way to 'soak up' the poisons and unpleasant odors and leave water that is fresh tasting and uncontaminated. Such filtering systems do not cost very much, waste very little water, and are loved by many customers for these reasons.

Water Filters That Work Through Reverse Osmosis Technology

Reverse Osmosis filters are well known for cleaning the water of all toxins, bacteria and other pathogens. The water is first passed through the RO filters and then sent to a storage tank. Before its used, it passes through the carbon filters and hence is as good as distilled water. The disadvantage of using a RO filter is that they waste a lot of water during purification. Hence for a gallon of pure water, two gallons of water are wasted.

In today day and age,water purifiers/filters are the best way to protect yourself and your family from a variety of diseases and problems. Water filters guarantee you clean drinking water which tastes good as well!
