FRONTPAGE_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE When it comes to drinking water treatment, there are a number of purification and filtration products on the market. As such, it is difficult to choose the right one for your home.
However, a review of all of the available water purification systems, along with their capabilities and costs can make the decision even easier.
The first decision you have to make is whether you want a whole house system (point-of-entry), or a unit for each sink(point-of-use). Although both will greatly improve the quality of your water you drink, the point-of-use unit provides the additional benefit of cleaning out contaminants in your pipes.
But a whole house system will cost less than a water filter on each sink and shower, so it depends on what fits your needs.
What is the best type of drinking water treatment?
There are a variety of filtration methods that most units employ, including multi-stage filters, reverse osmosis, distillation and chemical purification.
Although there are varying opinions, we believe you are best off with a multi-stage filter using ion exchange, sub-micron and carbon filtration. From our studies these drinking water purification systems not only remove the most contaminants but do so more efficiently than all of the other systems.
Some of the other popular drinking water treatment methods such as reverse osmosis filters only remove some contaminants, waste a lot of water in the process and also remove essential trace minerals, which is detrimental to your health.
