The Most Affordable Water Filter for Your Family

To find for the best water filter for your family you need to go through some important steps.

  1. You need to know exactly what’s in the water to be filtered. You can do it by contacting your water supply authority where they can tell you about the quality of your water supply.
  2. If that does not pin point the contamination, you need to test the water either by using a certified laboratory or do it yourself using a self water test kit.
  3. Once you know exactly what the contaminations are, you will begin to research for the best filter or purifier that will be capable of filtering those harmful contaminants.
  4. Choose the filtration or purification system based on the estimated gallons of water the whole family will use for bathing, cooking, gardening, and recreation over 6 – 12 months. Some systems like Aquasana AQ-300 can treat large volumes of water for up to 3 years before they become clogged so it’s very important to buy a filter that will adequately serve the entire family.

Ultraviolet systems can efectively reduce bacteria in the water by as much as 99%.  The powerful inactivation effect of the reduce the risk of exposure to sicknesses and diseases produced by water-borne viruses, bacteria and intestinal protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
