Are you just plain fed up with the claims of being the best, which every water filter in the market makes? There are so many options out there, how do you choose the best one for home filtration of tap water?
To identify the best method for home filtration of tap water, we should first be aware of the nature of impurities present in the water.
The most common contaminant found in tap water today is Chlorine. This chemical is mixed into our water by the water companies, so that it remains free from bacteria while lying in their reservoirs. There are two problems with this.
One, even if the water at the source is cleaned using chlorine, it's not going to be safe from the bacteria present in the pipes used for distributing the water to our homes. So the water will still be infected when it reaches your home.
Two, this chemical is highly toxic in nature. If it can kill the bacteria in the water, just think what effect it would have on our body’s cells. In fact, this chemical has been found to significantly increase the risk of rectal and bladder cancer.
The usual carbon water filters are not able to remove this chemical from the water. They are good for removing the dirt from the water but not any chemicals.
Even the popular reverse osmosis systems fall short here. Since the chlorine molecules are pretty small in size, they easily pass undetected through the membrane used in these filters.
The filters that use Distillation as the method of purifying the water are also useless here. When they heat the water, the chlorine in it also vaporizes and makes it way to the outer container along with the water vapors. So the dirt and bigger contaminants may be left behind but the chlorine is still there in the water.
The ideal method of home filtration of tap water is to use a technologically advanced filter that can overcome these problems. One with the combined techniques of carbon filtration, ion exchange, and sub micron filtration. Not only would such a filter remove the chlorine and other chemicals from the water, but it would also keep the minerals present in the water intact – something that reverse osmosis filters cannot do.
So there you have it. Home filtration of tap water is actually easy if you have the right purifier. Just do some research and make the right choice.
