Improve Water Quality with Pro Water Filter Installation

Water filters can be designed in a number of ways, each with their own pros and cons. Some of the most common types of water filters include:

1. Activated Carbon Filters: Activated carbon filters are the most popular choice. Activated carbon filters work by absorbing impurities in the water, including chlorine, pesticides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They also improve the taste and odor of the water. However, they are not effective at removing minerals or heavy metals.
2. Reverse Osmosis Filters: Reverse osmosis filters are a popular choice for homeowners who want to remove minerals, heavy metals and other contaminants from their water. Water is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane to separate out the impurities. Fresh, clean water is all that remains. However, reverse osmosis filters can be expensive and require regular maintenance.
3. Sodium Ion Exchange Filters: By exploiting the natural process of ion exchange, special resin beads in these filter systems swap hard minerals for soluble salt molecules. They are usually called water softeners, and are often the best choice for eliminating hard water.
4. Ultraviolet Light Filters: Through UV light’s sanitizing properties, UV light filters are particularly useful against microorganisms like mold, bacteria and even viruses. UV rays affect the microbes’ DNA, preventing them from replicating and virtually eliminating them from potable water.
