If you are researching water filtration companies, you can easily become bombarded with an onslaught of different manufacturers, products and systems. The end result is this - all H20 purifiers, be they distillers, ceramic filters, reverse osmosis units, or carbon strainers, will help you have better, safer, more beneficial H20. However, some products work better than others so it's important to find a high quality filtration system to ensure that your water is as clean and pure as it can be.
The best water filter companies share several aspects. The first one is that their products exist in multi-step units with at least one carbon filter as part of the process. A multi-step unit is best because it ensures that there are several processes and materials available to catch every last microbe and chemical.
A one-shot product may and often does miss some of these contaminants, particularly after the product has been used for awhile and starts to become clogged. A good product will contain activated carbon because it continues to be the best compound for treating H20 due to its ability to effectively strain out chemicals and pathogens while leaving in important minerals.
Additionally, good water filtration companies will offer a product that makes H20 both safe and healthy. The word "filter" is tossed about quite often and can be misleading. Advertisement for products such as ionizers or hard water treatment systems can make it seem as if the products remove harmful elements from H20, which is untrue. What they do is make your drinking supply more beneficial, not safer. It is silly to try to make unsafe water better for you without first removing all the chemicals and compounds that make it unsafe!
The best water filter companies will clearly show the dangers present in our public drinking supply and discuss how their products protect you from these elements while at the same time making the purified H20 even more beneficial to you.
Good water filtration companies also recognize that it is not enough just to treat just your drinking and cooking supply. The chlorine that comes out of your pipes can aggravate your allergies and cause additional allergies. Additionally, when chlorine-containing H20 is vaporized in your house, it produces chlorine gas. As a result, the best water filter companies offer whole-house units and stress the importance of treating everything that comes out of your pipes, not just purifying what you want to drink.
Some of the more reputable water filter companies when it comes to larger, whole-house units and faucet/shower filters include Aquasana, Amway, Kenmore and Culligan. Better known names in the industry such as Brita and PUR are decent for smaller quantities of water, but they do not remove contaminants nearly as effectively as the others.
When researching water filtration companies, you want to look for a performance data sheet which outlines exactly what contaminants are removed and in what quantities, certification by the Department of Health of one of the stricter states such as California or New York, high customer satisfaction scores and a money-back guarantee.
Start with one of the manufacturers we mention above, and see which unit makes the most sense for you and your family. The top water filter companies will offer point-of-use units for your sinks and shower as well as whole house units that can filter your entire water system.
