Water Filter Comparison

The subject of buying the best water filter has become a passion for me over the last 12 months. There has never been such a need for pure filtered water, due to the very high levels of contamination of our water both in public and private supplies. This is going to get worse over the next few years as the Government, both Federal and National make cutbacks to cope with the credit crisis. You have been warned!

So what should you do to make sure that you have an efficient cost effective water filtration system in your home? To say Fit the Best Water Filter is obvious, but this is what you need to have uppermost in your mind.

You need to think about the different types of water contaminants which may occur in your drinking water, here is a list of some of the commonly occurring ones:

1. chlorine
2. cysts
3. benzene
4. altrazene
5. lead
6. farming chemicals
7. pesticides

This is only a small sample, there can be up to 2,000 different toxins in your drinking water.

Once you know what you are fighting you can decide the best way to deal with it. The basic essentials of a good home water filter are;

• The system should be whole house, you can take in toxins in the shower and you may drink from any of the taps in the house.
• Don’t fit a reverse osmosis system, it can remove the good minerals from the water
• Use a multi filtration system with a carbon block filter and ion exchange

Once you know the basics, you need to fit the best water filter which meets all these requirement and at the lowest cost per gallon. I recommend Aquasana but to learn more about this read my other page at:   Best Home Water Filters – Which are They?
