Although there are many different types of water filters, one of the most popular and convenient types are the under sink water filtration units. They are ideal because they can be used to filter both your drinking and your cooking water to make sure that any water you ingest will be healthy, clean and odour free.
When researching the different types of water filtration units it is important to shop and compare in order to learn as much as you can. Below are some important facts to know about under sink water filters.
5 Important Facts
1. They are clutter-free. With an under counter unit you are able to store the filters below your kitchen sink so that there is nothing sitting on your counter getting in the way. All parts are kept tucked away and out of sight - except for the faucet which attaches to your kitchen sink. I find these types of units to be most helpful for those with smaller counter space as well as those who want a clutter free environment.
2. Installation is easy. Although you may choose to have a plumber professionally install your unit, the majority of under sink filtration units can easily be installed yourself. Most will come with detailed instructions as well as an instructional video detailing how to do it.
3. The maintenance is low. Typically these types of drinking water filters need to have filter replacements done every 6 months to a year depending on how much water you use and how dirty your municipal water is. Being single I replace my filters once a year. A family of four will likely need to replace them every six months.
4. They are affordable. Under sink water filters are surprisingly affordable considering how good they work and how convenient they are. Shop around and compare the prices as they can vary greatly but in general you can count on each gallon of filtered water costing only 10 cents. That is far cheaper than buying bottled water.
5. They are convenient. Besides having clean drinking water right there at the flip of the tap you also have clean cooking water easily at your disposal. Besides an expensive whole house filtration system, an under counter unit is by far the most convenient type of water filter.
When doing your research look at how much water the filtration system is able to filter within an hour as well as the cost of the replacement filters. Depending on the type of filtration method these two things will vary.
For example a high quality carbon-based filter will clean the water at a rate of 30 gallons per hour. Whereas a reverse osmosis system typically be much slower and may only clean one gallon of water per hour.
Read the reviews and compare the important specs in order to find the right under sink water filter that will suit your needs best.

Researching water filters will eventually lead you to learn two things:
1. There is a lot of confusing information out there.
2. Filtration methods can differ dramatically.
Over time I have done a fair amount of research on drinking water filters, in particular under sink filtration systems. Although there are many filtration units on the market there are two that stand out in the research. They are the Aquasana and the Crystal Quest under sink water filters.
Both are good systems and both have a great reputation. However there are some subtle differences to be aware of when considering either of these units.
Filtration
Aquasana AQ-4600 - Uses a multi-stage filtration system that includes mechanical filtration, absorption and ion-exchange which is carbon filtration and sub micron filtration. It consists of two filters that is able to clean up to thirty gallons of water per hour and filter out fifty-two contaminants - all without removing the trace minerals in the water that are important for your health.
Crystal Quest Mega Double - Uses a 7 stage filtration system of activated Carbon. This unit is unique compared to other systems that use Activated Carbon because there is no need for added silver which is common in carbon only filers. This is because the unique process of the seven stage system inhibits the growth of bacteria so well and therefore silver (which is considered a pesticide by the EPA) is not needed.
5 Comparisons
1. Both need to have their dual filters replaced every 500 gallons - 6 months to a year depending on how much water is being used.
2. Aquasana comes with a lifetime warranty when you sign up for their free 'water for life' program. Crystal Quest offers a limited one year warranty on their unit.
3. Aquasana maximum flow rate is 0.4 gallons per minute. Crystal Quest is 0.5 gallons per minute.
4. Aquasana's and Crystal Quests's minimum operating pressure is 20 psi. The maximum operating pressure for the Aquasana unit is 80 psi and for Crystal Quest it is 60 psi.
5. Dimensions for the Aquasana under sink filters are 12" x 7" x 4". Dimensions for the Crystal Quest under counter unit are 3.5" x 10.5" x 3.5
When researching the different drinking filters be sure to compare all the details as the information and filtration technologies can differ dramatically. Read the reviews and make sure the filtration system is able to filter out the toxins that are found in your own municipal water.

It is a fact that every little bit helps! One of the biggest landfill and waste pollution problems is plastic water bottles! They are clogging up landfills, killing water life, and ruining our beautiful land and oceans. There are many solutions to reducing plastic waste. We can choose to recycle them, but a better choice would be to filter our own tap water, and stop purchasing them all together.
A good quality water filter is the perfect solution to the glut of plastic water bottle waste. Simply hook them up to your faucet or water supply, and your water is filtered and safe to drink. It is important to know what is in your water by having it tested by a qualified lab. Once you know what contaminants are in your water, purchase an NSF certified water filter to insure that the contaminants found are what the filter removes. (NSF insures that the filter you are buying is certified to reduce the contaminants that may be found in your water). Also make sure to check with the manufacturer of that filter to see if their product removes the contaminants you want out.
Another great option for people on the go, is reusable water bottles with a filter built right in. Many water filter companies are developing water filter bottles to help stop plastic waste. These reusable water filter bottles are designed to filter any water, anywhere.
Brita has developed The Brita Bottle:
• The Brita Bottle has been tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of chlorine (taste and odor) and particulate reduction (class VI).

Buying a hiking water filter is essential for your next hiking trip. Unless you'll be using some sort of chemical decontaminant, which doesn't work on residues in water like pesticides and chemicals from nearby factories, you'll need to filter all your water before drinking it or cooking with it. Boiling water is a pain too, so the best thing you can do is find a great hiking filter that really fulfills your needs.
Looking at portable water filter reviews is, of course, one of the best ways to find out what others think about different types of portable water filtration and purification systems for hiking. However, you need to know what you're looking for in the reviews! Before you pick out your next hiking filter , make sure it meets these top five criteria of things to look for:
1. Easy to Use
There are several different hiking water filter types available on the market today. The two most popular are gravity filters and pump filters, though hikers who want more water more quickly are usually happiest with pump filters. There are also personal filters on the market for water bottles. Look at different options, but make sure whichever filter you choose is easy to use.
2. Field Serviceable
Most portable water filtration systems have a tendency to lock-up at some point or another, and you need to make sure you can fix this problem on the trail without compromising the filtration system. The best water filters for hiking are easy to service in the field. Your filter should also be simple to backwash, so that you can keep it clean as you're using it every day.
3. Effective
Of course, effectiveness is a huge thing to look for in a water filtration system. This, though, depends on exactly what you want. A fiberglass filter will get out many of the bacteria in the water but may leave the water tasting like it does coming from the source. This can be a good thing if you want to experience the mineral taste of mountain springs. However, a carbon filter added to this will get out most of the minerals and chemicals, leaving water tasting like bottled water from the store. Either way is fine, but do make sure your water will at least be free from disease-causing organisms.
4. Size and Weight
When you're hiking, your portable water filtration device needs to be small and compact. Just how small and compact depends on how light you need to travel and how many people you're filtering water for. Some hiking water filters can be used for four or five hikers but still weigh only a few ounces. Check out portable water filter reviews to see how a unit's size and weight stand up against other models in the field.
5. Durability
Because a hiking water filter is often designed to be as small and lightweight as possible, some companies sacrifice durability for lighter weight parts. This can be a problem though. If your filtration device breaks in the field, you could be up a creek without a paddle, so to speak. You should always take a backup method, such as a UV filter or a chemical filter, with you, but you also want to check reviews to make sure your water filter is most likely to stand the test of time on a hiking trip.
Hiking water filter Reviews With so many excellent brands and hiking water filter models currently available, sifting through them all to find the one that's the best fit for you can be a cumbersome task. The easiest way to simplify this process is by having a look at portable water filter reviews online to see what other hikers & campers e to say about the particular models.

Tap Water Filter – Don’t Make These 5 Mistakes When Purchasing A Tap Water Filter Product
0 comments Posted by ariya at 21:17A tap water filter can provide you with the safest possible, best tasting drinking water possible if you buy a top of the line quality tap water purifier. It’s important to know not all water filtration products are the same. Many people are under the false assumption that a water filter is a water filter and go out and purchase the cheapest one possible. Here are 5 mistakes that you can learn from.
Mistake # 1 - Choosing by price alone can be a big mistake when selecting a tap water filter, and here’s why. It is possible to purchase a top of the line quality tap water purifier direct from the manufacturer for less than a more expensive unit that does less.
Mistake #2 – Not doing your homework is another mistake people make when purchasing water filtration products. water filter technology has changed over the years. There is a lot of junk out there and it could cost you your health if you’re not careful. Some cheaply made filters don’t remove all the harmful chemicals or bacteria that is present in ordinary tap water so you need to know what to look for.
Mistake #3 – Purchasing an uncertified water treatment device is the next mistake. This separates the winners from the losers. A quality tap water filter should be certified by the state they are manufactured. If it is certified it means it has met the testing requirements pursuant to Section 116830 of the Health and Safety Code for the health related contaminants. Currently California has one of the strictest Certification requirements. Never purchase a non certified tap water purifier.
Mistake #4 – Not purchasing a dual filtration system is a mistake. There are many single stage filtration systems and some of them are rather expensive for not doing a complete job. If you want the best and safest water filtration system for your tap water you need a dual filter system using a combination of carbon filtration, ion exchange and sub micron filtration. This is the type of system you want whether you decide a simple counter top or under sink unit to a whole house water filter.
Mistake #5 – Over paying for your filtration products is a mistake many people make. Right now it is possible to purchase the #1 Rated Home water filter in America that has been voted "Best Buy" by Consumers Digest magazine 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 for less than much more expensive filters that do less! The reason is this top rated tap water filter is sold manufacturer direct with no middleman. With a little effort they are easy to locate as they sell their products on the Internet.
So whether you decide on a counter top or under sink tap water purifier or a whole house water filter don’t make the same mistakes that many other people have made.

Respond Swiftly! Use Drinking Water Filter Systems For A Fitter And Better Life
0 comments Posted by ariya at 22:46There are many good drinking water filter systems out there today. Americans are becoming more concerned at the harmful particles in the local water systems in their villages. Pesticides, lead, chlorine, chloroform, copper, zinc, and mercury are just some of these toxins existing.
Although these contaminants in the water are controlled by rigid government restrictions, folks who are worried about these issues can rest easy with the many fantastic water filters obtainable. The reputation of bottled water has grown during these past few years as a result, though unlike water filters, these are not regulated. So families are looking towards drinking water filter systems in their homes.
There are three basic types of filters on the market: regular, carbon, and reverse osmosis. These three types have the capability to eliminate around 99% of contaminants and bacteria in the water. A regular pitcher type filter is surely the one you need if you want something less expensive and it works by filling with tap water, while it filters down into the pitcher.
Ordinarily, pitcher filters fit in behind the refrigerator door, making them simple to set up. Brita is the cheapest brand, and they have filters that can be recycled. Brita is certainly the selection if you want to go environmentally friendly. Pur filters out lead much better than Brita.
On the consumer index, Pur III pitchers and faucet attachments have the best score. At $25 or $30, they are much more costly than Britta, but they are far better. Pur drinking water filters typically have carbon, allowing for the most effective filtration process and each filter has a graded system, letting you comprehend when replacement is needed.
Under the sink carbon block filters are becoming more well-liked, particularly in the newer homes. Considered to be the most effective, Puriclean has continually acquired high ratings in many assessments. Unlike most faucet attachments, the Puriclean can function longer, it is convenient to put in and change, and it costs about $30 to $60.
Among all the refrigerator filters, Puriclean has the highest rating on the consumer index. These are easily replaced every six months and have a sticker to put so you will remember when to replace the filter. Carbon blocks are found in these filters.
Another widely used brand of refrigerator filter is Kitchenaid. At $40 apiece, this brand of water filters includes simple renewal after every six months of use. Despite the nominal scores, these are nevertheless great filters to look into.
The most effective brand accessible is Pentek, with the carbon block, for the refrigerator. Several contaminants can be easily taken away from the water, such as microorganisms, metals, sediment, corrosion, and iron. Pentek also includes deionization reduction, which lessens water salinity.
Pentek has numerous other filter types, like the faucet filters and the inline filters, aside from the refrigerator filter. Many families are becoming aware of the assimilation of toxins in the shower and bath water and prefer to put a filter on the point of entry.
Several features, like reverse osmosis, ultra violet reduction, and bacterial and viral reduction, are also provided with Pentek, which are great for both commercial and residential applications. When eliminating all types of metals, poisons, bacteria, and viral contaminations, reverse osmosis is the best water filter system available.
In line with many doctors, a number of illnesses are increasing because of large quantities of heavy metals and poisons in the body. Though these can be obtained from the atmosphere and foods, water, as well as terrible drinking water filter systems, are the primary sources of this concern. Filtered water systems are obtainable for our better health, and they are worth the investment.
When it comes to fridge water filters, you and your family can seriously profit a whole lot. Whether it's better tasting and smelling water, better wellness, or better savings, you can gather a lot by having one setup in the kitchen or even around the whole home.
Although these contaminants in the water are controlled by rigid government restrictions, folks who are worried about these issues can rest easy with the many fantastic water filters obtainable.

Shower Water Filter Hidden Truths That Can Lead To Healthier Days
0 comments Posted by ariya at 22:35A chlorine shower filter may be one of the best investments you can make to protect your health. Your entire body is affected by showering in chlorinated water, and these effects accumulate over time. They can be insidious, so you do not even realize what is happening until later. There are many things to be aware of about bathing and showering in tap water.
Most people no longer even think of tap water as something to drink. The taste and smell is overwhelmingly of chlorine, because so much is added to kill potential bacteria. To drink tap water is not far from pouring a glass of bleach that has been diluted.
But when it comes to showering, most people jump into the tap water without thinking twice. Yet, chlorine turns to gas at a lower temperature than the water. So we are absorbing and breathing in a higher concentration of chlorine to water.
In a hot shower, the heat opens up our pores. This makes it that much easier for the chlorine in the water to be absorbed into the pores of our skin and into the blood. The toxin is also breathed into the lungs. Your intake of chlorine in a shower is far more than you would get if you did drink tap water. Many studies have now confirmed that showering can indeed be hazardous to your health.
Chlorine shower filters are plentiful on the market, and in many different styles. There are still charcoal filters available which do filter out chlorine, but generally they are not able to filter out all of it. This media can also become a breeding ground for bacteria.
A newer technology is called KDF. This media is able to filter out several substances including heavy metals and chlorine. It uses ionic charge to remove the chlorine, and is able to get at about 99%. A further benefit is that bacteria growth in this media is not possible.
Whichever type of filter you choose, it will probably have filters that need to be replaced. How often you will need to do this will depend on how many people use the shower, how long they take showers for and how often. You will know when it is time to replace your filter when you can start smelling the chlorine again.
Physical design can also be important in choosing your shower filter. Some filters have the media attached in place of the shower head or between the shower head and the pipe. This has the effect of decreasing the space to stand underneath the shower. Other types have the media to the side or above which does not take away any precious head space.
It will probably take some time to research available chlorine shower filters but there is definitely one that will meet both your needs and your budget. But do not make your choice based on price alone, or even design. How effective it is at filtering is the single most important thing on which to base your choice.
