Under Sink Water Filters Guide:

Under Sink Water Filters Guide If you have hard water the best solution is a water softener, not an RO unit. An RO filter can remove some mineral, but if you have a lot of mineral it will plug up the membrane in the RO filter, and they are very expensive. Your UV based filter was designed to kill bacteria. If you have no bacteria in your water you do not need UV. The main purpose of an RO system is to remove poisons and pollutants, like chlorine and fluoride etc.

Slide 2:

In such cases, it may be a good idea to invest in water filters. If like me, you are not too keen on drinking tap water straight but have no problem with using filters then this maybe a better option for you rather than constantly having to buy refills. This in turn will save you money on expensive mineral water and give you the chance to drink from the tap without consuming all of the chemicals needed to treat tap water.

Slide 3:

The most obvious water filters can be bought individually and are portable so you can take it in with you to work. Other people prefer to keep a water filter jug in the fridge, which is a good way of measuring how much you drink in a day. The filter itself is made from micro filters in a cartridge that is kept at the top half of the pitcher, it takes a short while to filter through at the bottom and each cartridge can last up to a month at a time.

Slide 4:

Other types of filters, which can be fitted into the tap water systems, are reverse osmosis water filter, charcoal filters, ultraviolet disinfectant, a distiller, water softener and ceramic water filters. Each of these vary in price range and work in very different ways. The idea is to rid the water of any extra pathogens or infectious bacterium that may reside in the water. Some of the products are not designed for ridding the water from chlorine, so if you are looking to have water that is chemical free then you will need to look into what kind of filter will be best suited.

Slide 5:

Other filters are much more advanced and are more expensive, cheaper alternative that has a similar resulting affect are better suited for people looking to install them in their homes. Others may prefer to check the Ph level of the water, making sure it is not too acidic and is at a reasonable alkaline level. Generally, tap water is kept alkaline, with acidic fluid use mainly for cleaning purposes.
