In modern times, we have pollution and contamination everywhere – the air we breathe, the food we eat and also the water we drink contain various harmful and toxic substances. This puts our future- our children- at risk. As educated citizens we try to do all we can to safeguard the health of our children. This includes ensuring the water they drink is pure, clean and safe.
The water which comes to our kitchen faucet via a municipal distribution system is treated to remove harmful bacteria and toxins but it collects other contaminants while passing through the distribution network of rusty pipes which also contain harmful organisms and parasites. If the water is sourced from private wells or lakes, it is all the more important that some kind of filtration is installed to make the water fit for drinking.
Under sink water filters are the most common and least expensive devices used to purify water. The under sink water filters can be connected to the plumbing arrangement of any sink, directly to the faucet which controls the flow of water to the sink. The under sink filters trap all the impurities before the water reaches the tap, eliminating the need to store drinking water separately.
Under sink water filters are quite easy to install also. These need to be mounted just under your sink and plumbed into the water line that supplies water to the sink tap. It is an easy procedure which can be undertaken even without any professional help.
There are different types of under sink water filters depending on the space and budget available. One can get a carbon block filter that includes a cartridge filled with activated carbon. It traps most of the harmful chemicals, micro-organisms and unpleasant odors. The cartridge needs to be replaced periodically.
There are other under sink water filters like reverse osmosis filters which remove every impurity present in water. In this method even the trace minerals like calcium are removed, which are actually good for us and are naturally present in water. This method also wastes a lot of water. A few synthetic chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides are not removed in the reverse osmosis filters.
There may be other filters like distillers and cat ion exchange filters. Ion exchange filters are beneficial in areas where the water contains lead. These filters have the capability to reduce the lead quantity and release potassium ions in to the water. Potassium is beneficial to us and naturally found in water. Then there is sub micron filtration which removes all solvents and chlorine resistant bacteria like Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Under sink water filters help you save your counter space and are also quite durable. It also ensures that you spend no money on bottled water which might actually be just tap water in an attractive plastic packaging. While installing under sink water filters, it is important to consider the maintenance costs also.
