  • The Perfect Whole House Water Filter
    In certain parts of the country and the world, it may be a good idea to install whole house water filters anywhere you are concerned about the water quality. These filters are installed at the beginning of your water system, before any water reaches the hot water tank, and depending on the type of whole house water filter you've chosen, they can remove a whole range of contaminants before any water reaches you or your family.
  • Choosing Great Drinking Water Filters
    Tap water isn't the purest water; we all know that. If you're tired of the chlorinated taste and want something better, but don't want to pay the price of store bottled water, why not pick up a drinking water filter? You can find many different types on the market today, from very simple systems that do a good basic job to complex systems that deliver bottled-water quality water to your kitchen sink.
  • Home Water Filtration Systems
    People need home water filtration systems for a variety of reasons. Most talk about having cleaner drinking water, or water that tastes better so they can drink it instead of buying bottled water. Others are looking for water softeners, to eliminate some of the chemicals and minerals in ground water that interact with soaps to make them less effective, or that leave residue on your skin and dishes. With good water filtration, your water can be pure or at least soft, which in the long run will save you money and make you healthier.
  • How Home Water Purification Works
    You are probably drinking and bathing in contaminated water. Why? Because most raw water supplies are contaminated with micro-organisms, and in order to kill these bugs, city water suppliers must add poisons like chlorine to the water. Unfortunately, the same chemicals that kill bacteria can sicken you or cause other problems, like dry skin. A home water purifier may be the answer to this problem.
  • Home Water Purifiers: Your Water Supply's Last Defense
    With an aging water infrastructure and breakdowns becoming more common, home water purifiers and filters are increasing in importance. You are the last line of defense against contaminated water. Even "safe" municipal systems contain escalating levels of chlorine, which can make you sick, and may contain contaminants that, while safe, have an unpleasant odor and/or taste. If you start using a home water purifier, however, you can spare yourself the worry about problematic water supplies and start supplying your home with inexpensive bottled-quality water.
  • Compare Home Water Purifiers First
    Before buying a home water purifier, you should understand them. Purifiers are devices that will filter contaminants out of your tap water supply so you can drink pure, unadulterated water. When you compare home water purifiers, you'll quickly discover that there is a great variety of difference between the types, both in how they look and function and in what contaminants they filter out of your water. You should always purchase the one that works best for you.
  • Benefits of the Reverse Osmosis Water Filter
    A reverse osmosis water filter works by allowing water to pass through a thin membrane that does not allow other materials to pass. This means you wind up with clean, pure water on the using side of the membrane, while heavy metals, biological contaminants, and even chlorine remain on the other side of the membrane, filtering out and eventually flushed from the water filter's system. A reverse osmosis water filter eliminates almost all of several contaminants from your drinking water: arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, nitrates, sediments, iron, bacteria, viruses, bad tastes and odors, and some of your hydrogen sulfide and VOCs (an example: pesticides).
  • Home Made Water Purifiers: A Cost Effective Solution?
    When I was a child, my grandmother tied several layers of cloth over her kitchen water faucet to filter out sediments. That was our water filter, a home made water purifier, and thinking back, it's a wonder that we never were sickened by the spring water supply she used in her home, which was often contaminated by floods and upstream polluting by her dairy-farm neighbors. It used to be very common for people to make such home made water purifiers, and though the water at least looked cleaner, the method was very ineffective indeed.
