What are the different types of filtration systems available?
• Carbon filtration – this filtration takes smell, taste and odor out of the water. These filters are made up of a material called AC – a highly porous material with a large surface area. Pollutants are attracted and held by the AC. This system is best suited for the removal of organic material. • Sediment filtration – removes most of the debris such as dirt and organic solvents and can be installed as a whole house system or under the sink. • Ultraviolet filtration – this is used mainly to kill viruses and bacteria, but it does not remove chemical pollutants. Alone this method is good but combined with an RO system you have one of the best filtration device on the market. • Distillation is the process in which water evaporates, and is drained into a reservoir after cooling. Generally, the distilled water is of a very high quality. The draw back of distillation is that it does not produce large amounts of water, consumes a large amount of energy and most say that it tastes “flat”. That
