Filter Packs
Water is the ultimate thirst-quencher – refreshing, cooling, soothing. Unfortunately, water is also supposed to be pure, though in these days, you can never be too sure. After all, microbes and bacteria are invisible; they can hide even in the transparent and crystal clear water you use to wash or to drink. And suddenly, water is not effectively thirst-quenching anymore.
The goal: Safety
To fully enjoy the refreshing effect of pure, clean, tasteless, and odorless water, what you need is a water filter system. Water filter systems come in many kinds so you can choose the one that best suits your needs and cleanses your water from any possible kind of impurity. What impurities threaten the quality of your water anyway? The impurities range far and wide; there are bacteria, harmful minerals, poisonous chemicals, viruses, cysts, and other toxic compounds. Most of these get mixed into your water supply unseen. And since most of these can harm your health, the ultimate goal of water filters is safety.
The filtration process
So how do water filter systems achieve this goal? How a water filter work depends on what type of water filter system you use.
Most water filters today use the activated carbon technology, which capitalizes on the absorption properties of carbon especially when accompanied by a heating process. So what happens is the carbon is activated through heating or a chemical process to make it more absorptive. As the water passes through the filter, the activated carbon absorbs any contaminants found in the water. This is effective for most recorded contaminants.
There is, however, another fast-rising process – the reverse osmosis water filtration system. In the RO process, water passes through a very meticulously packed membrane that’s only permeable by the finest, purest substance – water. As the water passes through, it leaves behind its impurities. The water mixed in with the impurities is immediately directed towards the drain, while the pure permeated water moves to a storage tank to be supplied to you.
Getting help against water impurities
1. Brita Disposable Faucet Filtration System
Brita is an unquestioned leader when it comes to water filtration. It has an amazingly wide range of water filters to its name. It is more commonly known for its pitcher filters, though it also offers faucet filtration systems that target water cleanliness at the point of entry: the faucets.
The Brita Faucet Filtration System is available for only $99 and is disposable after using it for one year, which, in fact, even triples the life of an ordinary faucet filter. That’s a display of the extremely high standards of Brita. The faucet filter from Brita comes in a compact design that do not get in your way around the sink, and it can produce clear and great-tasting water through its two-stream feature, one supplying tap water, the other filtered water.
The filter comes with an Electronic System Life Indicator to tell you when it’s time to dispose of the filter – no need for replacement filters. Since it’s very affordable, you will actually still be able to save.
2. Culligan FM-15A Faucet Filter
Another highly convenient faucet filter is the Culligan FM-15A, which is even more affordable. The convenient design can be mounted directly onto faucets within seconds and comes with a diverter valve so you can get either filtered or unfiltered water. This water filter from another leading brand, Culligan, can produce up to 200 gallons of water in its life span.
The Culligan FM-15A can remove the highly common contaminants that affect the taste and odor of your drinking water. It can filter out 98.9% of lead, lindane, atrazine, and about 99.95% of cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia, and the unwanted taste and smell of chlorine. It also comes with the NSF certification and a 5-year warranty.
