Comparison of Water Filter / Purification Technologies

There are a wide range of water filters, purifiers, and other treatment

devices available on the market today. In reality, there is no single filter or

treatment that will eliminate every contaminant from your water. Many

technologies target only a specific type of contaminant and may be completely

ineffective against others. Typically, most higher-end systems use a combination

of

filter technologies to achieve the best results. It is nevertheless important

to choose a system that specifically targets the known or potential

contaminants in your personal water supply.

To help you gain a better understanding of each major home water filter and

purification technology, we have created the following comparison chart as

well as complete descriptions of the relevant technologies. Our products

feature all of these technologies in various combinations. Compare your water

testing results to the chart and information to determine your best filtration

/

purification options. If you have questions, please give us a call toll free

at 1-866-376-2690. We would be pleased to make some suggestions.

** At high contaminant levels, filter life will be reduced significantly.

Manganese greensand (whole house iron reduction filter) or KDF filter is

recommended for Hydrogen sulfide.

 

*** Even though reverse osmosis is effective in removing bacteria and

viruses, it is not recommended that your rely upon reverse osmosis solely if

your

water is contaminated with bacteria or viruses. Ultraviolet (UV) purification

is also recommended.
