Before launching a search for the best countertop water filter, a homeowner or business owner might want to learn more about the advantages delivered by countertop water filters. That home or business owner should know that the people of Milwaukee once questioned the value of any countertop filters. They no longer doubt the value of such filters.

In 1993, the parasite Cryptosporidium found its way into the drinking water of Milwaukee. Thousands of Milwaukee residents got sick, just because they drank contaminated water. Their story underlines an important water-filtering feature, one found in a top quality countertop filter-the ability to remove "cysts" from the tap water.

The word "cysts" has nothing to do with the available styles among countertop water filters. The word "cysts" does not indicate that a countertop filter works best in a city, or that it is better suited for filtering well water. Why then should anyone who plans to purchase a countertop filter know the meaning of the word "cysts"?

The word "cysts" should be in the vocabulary of anyone who is searching for the best countertop water filter. The word "cysts" refers to the parasites that sometimes contaminate the water in both city and rural water systems. "Cysts" also makes reference to another microscopic organism that can contaminate bodies of fresh water. That microorganism is a protozoan.

The protozoan that should concern residents of the United States is the one that can cause giardiasis. Humans can get that intestinal infection by drinking water that has had contact with animal feces. The protozoa in the feces can get into the water.

Campers and hikers are at increased risk of developing giardiasis. Unless they arrange to carry a water filter with them, they could well drink water that has had contact with animal feces. That fact points to another one of the features sought by those in search of a countertop filter.

Such a filter can appeal to more consumers, if it is a mobile device, one that can be removed from the home and taken along on a camping or hiking trip. That does not mean that each of the countertop water filters should operate in the same way at all times. The best countertop water filter could convert to a "gravity" filter, if removed from the home and used on a camping or hiking trip.

Homeowners who choose to spend their free time at home should know that top quality countertop filters are easy to install. In addition, top quality water filters generally come with a long guarantee. A countertop water filter can add value to a home.

The homeowner who has invested in the best countertop water filter can enjoy a steady supply of great tasting water. That clean and cyst-free water has passed through activated carbon filters, where ion exchange has removed unwanted particles from the water. In addition that water has undergone micron filtration, a process carried out by all good quality countertop filters.

A countertop filter can also provide the homeowner with a chance to select the style that matches the style of the furniture and appliances in the kitchen. Some homeowners prefer to examine countertop water filters with a gooseneck spout. Other homeowners have requested a spout with a long reach.

The best countertop water filter has parts that can be replaced. When those filters malfunction, the homeowner does not need to replace the entire filter system. The simple replacement of a single part guarantees continuous delivery to the homeowner's selected spout of safe, fresh-tasting water.
