If you’re looking to provide your family with the best quality water available, chances are you’ve wondered about water filters. Water filters are devices that help purify your water by removing impurities and contaminants. They are available in various types such as a countertop, under-sink, whole house, and reverse osmosis.

Some of these filters use a cartridge system, while others use a combination of activated carbon and other materials to filter out contaminants. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an important goal, and integrating clean and safe water will help you to achieve it.

Why do you need to change your water filter?

Water filters remove contaminants present to provide you with pure water. After a while, constantly dealing with these toxins will cause wear and tear – affecting the effectiveness of the filter. If you do not change the filter, it will become a haven for bacteria and other dangerous microorganisms.

To maintain optimum operation and continuously provide safe water for your home, it’s recommended that you change your water filter every 6 months. It’s hard to remember sometimes – we get it!

What kind of contaminants are in my water?

The kind of contaminants that are present in your water vary and depend on where you receive your water from. Although our main sources of water are rivers and lakes, how they are provided to homes is mainly through two ways. The two types of water supplies are municipal and well water.

Municipal is also known as city water or tap water. This water has been chemically treated to make it safe, which means it will have different toxins to worry about such as chlorine and fluoride, along with leftover aluminum, arsenic, copper, lead, pesticides, herbicides, and more.

Well water is commonly used in rural areas. This water has not been chemically treated, so you won’t have to worry about chlorine – but you will need to be concerned about bacteria, lead, and other heavy metals.

To be certain about what kind of contaminants are in your water, it’s recommended that you test it. If you need to have your water tested but don’t want to involve a professional, we have some solutions for you.

How do I find the correct water filter for my home’s needs?

Finding the correct water filter for your home can be difficult. But just like a doctor runs tests to find out what’s wrong with you, you’ll need to run a test to find the best water filter for your home. Knowing what contaminants are in your water supply will allow you to better research the different types of filters and compare their effectiveness at filtering out the impurities you have in your water.

You should also consider the cost and maintenance of the filter, as well as its design and size. Ultimately, the best water filter for your home will depend on your needs and preferences.
