Water filters: Ensure better drinking water quality

Drinking water is one of the world's most valuable resources. According to official statistics, the average German citizen consumes up to 130 liters. The demand for drinking water has increased significantly, especially in recent decades. Even though in Germany it is known as one of the most strictly monitored food products, doubts about its quality are growing in many families. Using state-of-the-art systems, drinking water is cleaned and treated at a central point before it finally reaches you through the tap. However, even when the applicable limit values are observed, tiny amounts of impurities and pollutants always remain. If you would like to remove these from the water as well, investing in a water filter is a good option. 

Applications for water filters

Water filters, better known as drinking water filters, can be used in many ways. They are suitable for installation in private households, but can also be used in public institutions and businesses. Even though there are now various types of water filters, the basic way they work is always the same. Either membranes or activated carbon blocks are used here, through which the water must pass. These blocks and membranes are so fine-meshed that water molecules can pass through easily, while the other substances contained in the water are retained.

Overview of different types of water filters

If you are looking for a suitable water filter for your needs, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the various technologies. The reverse osmosis process has, for example, proven itself in many water filters over the years. It can also reliably retain problematic substances such as heavy metals, nitrate, and, for example, phosphate. Ion exchangers have also made a name for themselves for stationary use. The ions dissolved in the drinking water are exchanged here for ions of the same charge. They work reliably, but they do have one weakness. After a certain amount of time, the microbial load increases significantly. For use on the go, you will also find various microfilters. These water filters are particularly compact and easy to store. Their core components are hollow-fiber membranes with a pore size of just 0.2 micrometers. They can also retain bacteria very reliably.
