Clean, safe water is essential for your family's health and well-being. With various water filtration systems available, it's important to choose the right one for your home. In this blog, we'll provide an overview of different water filtration systems, their benefits, and how they work. We'll also discuss factors to consider when selecting a system to ensure you make the best choice for your needs.
Types of Water Filtration Systems
UV Filtration Systems
- How They Work:
UV filtration systems use ultraviolet light to kill 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, such as E. coli. - Benefits:
These systems are highly effective at disinfecting water and are recommended for properties that use tank water. They usually come with interchangeable filters that can remove sediments, improve taste, and eliminate odors.
Sediment Filters
- How They Work:
Sediment filters trap and remove particles like dust, dirt, and rust from the water. - Benefits:
Ideal for properties with water supplies affected by nearby dusty roads, sediment filters help protect your plumbing and appliances from damage caused by debris.
Carbon/Taste & Odor Filters
- How They Work:
Carbon filters use activated carbon to absorb and remove contaminants that affect the taste and smell of water. - Benefits:
These filters are perfect for properties with town water supply. They can be installed as replacement cartridges or inline filters under the bench or for the fridge, making drinking water more pleasant.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Water Filtration System
-
Water Source
Determine whether your water comes from a town supply, tank, or stream. Different sources may have different contaminants that need to be addressed. -
Contaminants
Identify any specific issues with your water supply, such as dust, bird droppings, dead animals, leaves, or unpleasant smells. This will help you choose a system that effectively targets these problems. -
Household Size
Consider the size of your household and your daily water usage. Larger households may require more robust filtration systems to meet their needs. -
Specific Needs
Think about any specific requirements you have, such as removing certain contaminants or improving the taste and odor of your water.
