    Choosing Best Types Of Water Filters

    Choosing a Water Filter? How to Choose, Best Types of Water Filters, and What Does a Water Filter Do?

    When you pour yourself a cold clear glass of water, you probably assume that it’s safe to drink. However, even sparkling-clear water can contain impurities that are so small that you can’t see them with the naked eye. Tap water often contains dissolved minerals; these are harmless but can alter the taste of the water. Of more concern is the smaller but real possibility that the water could contain bacteria or other organisms that could make you sick.

    What does a water filter do?

    A water filter accomplishes a few purposes. First, it helps reduce the number of unwanted substances in your water and makes your water clean and safe to drink. Second, by removing most substances, it leaves you with clean, clear, delicious water with a refreshing taste. The way water filters work is by using special materials to capture the substances in your water you want to remove and letting only clean water through. Filter materials have tiny holes that let water pass through but not bacteria, viruses, and certain other substances that are too small to pass through the microscopic pores.

    Types of water filters

    There are several different types of water filters to choose from; these include:

    • Activated carbon filters. These water filters mainly remove larger particles such as silt and sediment from the water.
    • Reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis filters can remove a considerable percentage of a large variety of contaminants, making them extremely popular.
    • UV filters. A newer technology, UV filters use ultraviolet radiation to destroy bacteria. UV filters are known for being environmentally friendly.
    • Infrared filters. Infrared filters work by softening your water using heat and light to charge it negatively.
