If you will ask if you really need these water filters in your house, the answer to that will be YES all the time. The “safe” and “clean” tap water that we knew since childbirth is actually deadly to us. Chlorine has been used for a very long time to sanitize water and remove any contaminants in it. It could be a potent weapon against bacteria and other biological threats in the water. But it could never neutralize pesticides, heavy metals and other “new” pollutants being introduced to our water supply. Aside from that, chlorine itself can cause cancer and accelerate the process of aging. You are facing two challenges with the water you drink every day. One is chlorine, the other are the contaminants that chlorine cannot handle.
A water filter can screen out chlorine residues in your raw source and at the same time eradicate odor, sediments and undesirable color. There are many kinds of water filters for the home; each of them can fill a specific need and budget.
There is one major consideration in installing a household water filter – the quality of your tap water. If you are just worried about sediments, chlorine and unpleasant odor, a good quality under sink filter or countertop filter will do. But if you are near industrial plants and mining areas, it is best to have a whole house water filter (preferably multi stage) that can ensure good filtration of heavy metals and agricultural wastes. This filtration system also ensures filtered water to come out in every faucet of your house.
