Water source nowadays are contaminated with germs, bacteria, chemicals, dirt, and other impurities. These pollutants are mainly caused by people’s misuse of the water, making it a health and safety hazard. The very water we need to live is now a risk to our living. It is our responsibility to make it clean and healthy as to not pose health risks to our families. So access to clean water is very crucial in our homes.

How do we make sure that the water we drink is clean and safe? Although local water service providers already treat water from their facilities to our homes, they cannot 100% guarantee the safety of our waters. Certain bacteria and toxins may still be present most especially that sometimes it’s our misuse that causes the threat. In order to ensure that we have the safest water, it is essential to draw from a clean source. How to do it? Filter the water coming out the faucets.

The advent of water filters minimized the threats brought about by contaminated water. Filters remove impurities from the water with a physical barrier and through chemical and biological processes. This procedure of cleansing the water through filters and processes, with the use of machines is what we call water filtration system. The system get rids of particles and pollutants off our water, as well as improving its taste.

Different filtration systems are designed for our homes to treat the water, from simple to complex ones. The filters are either designed within a pitcher or mounted on a faucet. The activated carbon charcoal filters are the more popular type of filters. Other filtering mechanical processes include reverse osmosis and ultra violet (UV) light units. Water distillers are also available as a whole system or a portable counter.

What does water filtration exactly do to the water? Mechanical filters remove sediments like debris, dirt, silt, and clay particles than can cause unpleasant smell and taste to our waters. It also lessens minerals, such as calcium, iron, and manganese off the water that causes metallic taste. Too much concentration of these minerals in the water can be hazardous to our health and can also cause stains to our clothes. Mineral build up in our pipes sometimes causes clogging, too. The filters also get rid of pathogens like bacteria and parasites that cause different illnesses like diarrhea and vomiting. These pathogens are effectively removed through micro, ultra, and nano types of filters.

Water filtration system also lowers chlorine in the water. Chlorine makes the water smell and taste unpleasant. The activated carbon filter removes that chlorine taste from the water. This carbon filters can also remove pesticides and chemicals. Toxic lead on the other hand, can be eliminated though distillation, carbon filtration, and reverse osmosis.

Having your family’s health a top priority is ensuring that the water they drink is clean and healthy, free from any contaminants. Purchasing a water filtration system, won’t hurt your budget. After all, prevention is better than cure. Water filtration systems costs depends on the type you need for your homes.
