Nutritionists recommend a daily water intake of 30 milliliters for every kilogram of human weight, but drinking tap water, even boiled water, is not worth it. The water of modern cities contains chemical compounds that are harmful to human health. Bacteriological safety is also in doubt due to the fact that many main water pipelines were built in the last century, and the water treatment in them does not meet the standards. A drinking water filter will remove many contaminants.
The water after the filter is already quite safe to drink. The most effective is a reverse osmosis water filter, but these models are quite expensive.
How to choose a filter for drinking water
There are simple, inexpensive, pitcher-type water filters for the apartment. These models will help purify water from mechanical impurities and from some of the simplest microorganisms. Replacing the cartridges in a timely manner guarantees a perfectly acceptable water quality.
• Household water filters can be built directly into the water supply, with an outlet to a separate tap, which allows you to conveniently fill a kettle or pot.
• Firms selling built-in models warn that only specialists can install the water filter.
• Installing yourself may void your hardware warranty.
Owners of cottages can install water filters for the house, which are mini treatment plants, including filters to purify water from iron.
These models are volatile, expensive, take up a lot of space, but their performance will allow you to purify not only drinking water, but also that used in washing and dishwashers cars.
