Families are super important to keep healthy, so clean water is a huge part of that! Which is why an at home water filter can be a game changer. Did you know that you have options when it comes to water filters? So, lets breakdown the different types of water filters such as pitcher filters, faucet filters, reverse osmosis filters, whole house systems, under sink filters, and countertop filters.
Pitcher water filters are even more simple to use! Simply pour tap water into the pitcher and it removes common pollutants like chlorine and lead. They’re cheap and require no installation.
Faucet water filters are mounted to your faucet and purify the water as it flows out of it. They are incredibly useful, and can eliminate germs and parasites. Don’t forget to replace the filter frequently to continue to enjoy clean water!
A piece of fine membrane in reverse osmosis filters does the cleaning of water. They can eliminate heavy metals and chemicals, to provide you with very clean drinking water. But they can be somewhat more expensive, and require someone to install them (or do a little more serious DIY work).
If you are looking to have the cleanest water (which tastes great) from every single water source in your house, then a whole house water filtration system is definitely the way to go. They connect to your home’s main water line and treat the water as it enters your home, before it comes out of any tap. They will filter out chlorine, dirt, and even germs, so you won’t have to worry about drinking the water.
Under sink water filters sit beneath your kitchen sink and provide you with clean drinking water from a dedicated tap. They do a good job of stripping out chlorine, lead and pesticides. And they stay out of sight and don’t occupy valuable counter real estate.
If you don’t want to bother with installation, a good option is a countertop filter. Place them on your kitchen counter and they’ll filter water as you pour it in. Varied filters can remove dirt, chlorine, bad tastes, and more, providing you with fresh water to drink, cook, and more.
