There are of course many other kinds of water filters. But the counter top filter is more affordable, easier to install and very easy to maintain. There are two kinds of counter top filters. First are those that need regular cartridge replacement and the other needs no replacements at all for up to three years.
This counter top filter is effective in removing sediments, up to 99 % of chlorine, unpleasant odor and undesirable color. Some good quality counter top filters can also remove pesticides, Trihalomethanes, bacteria and heavy metals such as mercury, iron, barium and cadmium.
Chlorine is very easy to single out as one of the very substance in the water that must be rid off. Used as a cheap sanitizer of water, it can also cause the complication of existing allergies, accelerate the process of aging and can even cause cancer. This makes the counter top filter very handy and useful despite its limitations.
Counter top filters can also be used as an additional filter if you already have a whole house water filtration system. To further enhance the quality of water used for drinking and cooking, counter top filters are installed in the kitchen sink. With a significantly clean input, the water is subjected again to a series of filters included in the counter top system and refine the filtration process altogether.
A counter top water filter is ideal for homes that have a spacious sink space that can accommodate the bulk of this system. The next alternative for people who sees this as an eyesore is the under sink water filtration system that tucks the filters under the counter top and free much needed space.
