Water Purification News and Information

Are you frustrated with the quality of your countertop drinking water?

If you are like me then the answer would be a resounding yes. A few years ago I began experimenting with water filtration systems, bottled and distilled water. I have found the most effective and convenient countertop water filtration system available.

Countertop water filtration systems are the most convenient and economical method in obtaining good quality tasting water. Unlike bottled water, which does not face much scrutiny, home water filtration systems are heavily regulated in the United States as well as many other counties.

Distilled water, while an effective method for removing contaminants, also removes many nutrients in the water such as calcium that is needed by the human body.

Many countertop water filtration systems come with their own faucet fixture located under the sink, however, there are those systems that attach directly to an existing faucet and only require the user to flip a lever to obtain the filtered water.

From my experience, I would recommend using a separate faucet for your filtration purposes. Having separate spouts for drinking and other kitchen uses. This will allow much easier use and a better overall appearance. For example, while cooking one can turn on a...

Is a Reverse Osmosis Water Filter the Best Way For You to Go?

Reverse osmosis water filters function by passing water through a membrane-type filter that leaves impurities on the other side. Clean water is deposited in a reservoir, to be pumped up to a separate drinking water faucet, and the contaminants on the other side are flushed out of the system later. This type of water filter is among the best ways to clean your water, and it will remove most contaminants: most bacteria and viruses, pesticides and other VOCs, hydrogen sulfide, nitrates, sediments, arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals like lead and mercury, iron, and even bad tastes.

That's because it is so very effective at removing contaminants from your water supply. It works by moving your water through a series of reservoirs, in which the clean water moves to the clean side of the filter, leaving behind the contaminants. The filter does not work through pressure; instead, water must move passively. This means that the filtration process is slower than you might find in other water filtration systems.
