Improve Water Quality with Pro Water Filter Installation

Water filters can be designed in a number of ways, each with their own pros and cons. Popular designs for water filters include:

1. Activated Carbon Filters: These filters are the most common type of water filter, and for good reason. Activated carbon filters work by absorbing impurities in the water, including chlorine, pesticides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They also improve the taste and odor of the water. However, they are not effective at removing minerals or heavy metals.
2. Reverse Osmosis Filters: Reverse osmosis filters are a popular choice for homeowners who want to remove minerals, heavy metals and other contaminants from their water. These filters work by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes impurities. The result is clean, fresh-tasting water. However, reverse osmosis filters are more expensive and require routine maintenance for best results.
3. Sodium Ion Exchange Filters: By exploiting the natural process of ion exchange, special resin beads in such filter systems swap hard minerals for soluble salt molecules. They are popularly known as water softeners, and can be the ideal solution for hard water.
4. Ultraviolet Light Filters: Through UV light’s sanitizing properties, UV light filters should be used to eliminate microorganisms such as mold, bacteria and even viruses. UV rays damage the microbes’ DNA, preventing them from replicating and virtually eliminating them from potable water.
