Residential Filtration Systems:

There are 2 main approaches to purifying water: point of use (POU) and point of entry (POE).
Under-sink and coffee maker water purifiers are examples of POU systems. POU systems cost less but provide clean water from only one tap. In contrast, POE systems filter water before it enters the home, ensuring that all appliances and fixtures provide cleaner water.

A typical home water purifier consists of several stages that clean the water. The prefilter, crucial for well systems, traps the largest particles and preserves the more valuable filter media. The sediment filter provides the primary mechanical filtration by capturing dirt, silt, heavy metals, and other particles. Most systems also include activated carbon, which absorbs chemicals and gases, improving the water’s taste and smell.

– Reduce acidity
– Neutralize pathogens
– Lower water hardness
– Trap particulate matter
– Absorb chemicals and gases

Homeowners can opt for additional stages based on their needs. For instance, they might choose a germicidal light to comprehensively neutralize bacteria and parasites. There are also conditioning stages to adjust pH or water hardness. If your water is hard, you might consider a dedicated water softener. These systems remove calcium and magnesium from your water by exchanging them with salt. Some multi-tank solutions even allow continuous operation without needing to go offline to recharge.
