The quality of the water entering our homes leaves much to be desired. Therefore, more than half of households use one or another option for filtering water.
The choice of a water filter depends on the initial state of the water, the required system performance, and also on the budget. In today's review are presented best home water treatment systems.
5. Filter jug
The simplest and most affordable option for cleaning tap water is offered by many manufacturers - Brita, Aquaphor, Barrier. The disadvantages of this method of filtration are low quality compared to more complex filters, as well as the need to replace the cartridge once every 1-2 months.
By the way, the jug itself also has a limited shelf life, so you should periodically change the filter completely, acquiring a new one.
The cost of the filter is from 300 rubles.
4. Nozzle on the crane
This filter is connected to the spout of a water tap. The advantages of nozzles include their compactness, affordable price, as well as mobility - the nozzle can be taken with you on a business trip, as well as in the country or on vacation.
However, the system has enough disadvantages - a small filter resource (300-700 liters), low quality in comparison with other systems, as well as the inability to use the crane in normal mode.
The cost of the filter is from 200 rubles.
3. Filters for water pre-treatment throughout the apartment
Such filters are installed on pipes supplying water to the apartment. Installing a pre-filter allows you to improve the quality of water in the bathroom and in the kitchen, to save household appliances from blockages and lime.
The disadvantages of such systems include the complexity of the installation, a rather high cost, as well as the fact that the filter retains coarse particles, but additional filtration will be necessary to turn tap water into drinking water.
The cost of the system is from 2000 rubles.
2. Flowing sorption filter
Such a system is installed under the kitchen sink and may contain one, two, three and even five stages of cleaning. Most filters use a single cartridge size, which makes it easy to purchase accessories.
The disadvantages of stationary flow filters include the complexity of installation, as well as the cost, which is higher than that of jugs and nozzles for taps.
The cost of the system is from 2,000 rubles.
