Enhance Quality with Professional Water Filter Installation

There are various designs for water filter systems, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. 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). This also improves the taste and smell. 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. They function by pushing water through a semi-permeable membrane to separate out the impurities. The result is clean, fresh-tasting water. However, reverse osmosis filters can be expensive and require regular maintenance.
3. Sodium Ion Exchange Filters: By exploiting the natural process of ion exchange, special resin beads in these filter systems swap hard minerals for soluble salt molecules. They are popularly known as water softeners, and are often the best choice for eliminating hard water.
4. Ultraviolet Light Filters: Through UV light’s sanitizing properties, UV light filters should be used to eliminate microorganisms like mold, bacteria and even viruses. UV rays destroy the microbes’ DNA, stopping them from reproducing and virtually eliminating them from potable water.
