The low quality of drinking water in the faucets is an actual human problem. And its taste leaves much to be desired. Those who care about their own and their loved ones, think about buying a water purifier.
What are household water purifiers for home use?
Household filters differ by technical parameters and by their device.
One of the simplest is a jug-water purifier. Water flows from one container to another, filtering through a layer of sorbent. The main advantages of such a device include such characteristics:
- low cost;
- ease of use;
- no need to connect;
- mobility.
We should not forget about the shortcomings, namely:
- relatively low level of cleaning;
- small volume of purified water.
Manufacturers also offer water cleaners for the kitchen " on the sink, " which are fixed with a hose to the faucet and are located next to it. Water enters the filter by means of pressure. This product has several "pluses":
high level of productivity; no need for a container.
There is also a small minus: before and after use, such a water purifier should be connected and disconnected each time.
The water purifier for the kitchen "under the sink" is built into the water supply. Such a filter is placed under the sink, from there another additional tap for purified water is pulled over the sink.
The merits of this type of water purifier include the following characteristics:
- very high level of cleaning from impurities and impurities;
- convenient location, no clutter at the sink;
- high performance.
With all its obvious advantages, there is a significant drawback - a high price.
Portable water purifier, having the dimensions of the marker, is a product for those who like to travel in extreme conditions. One of its edges is lowered into contaminated water, and the second is drunk. Such a mini-filter is distinguished by a low level of performance at a high price.
How to choose a water purifier?
For a small family or a lonely resident it will be enough to purchase a simple jug cleaner. They occur in a volume from 1.2 liters to 4 liters. If the house is home to more than two people, it is better to choose the filters that connect to the sink. With a limited budget, it makes sense to buy a cleaner for a sink. When there is a desire to install a high-quality filter in the dwelling with a three-stage cleaning, the filter under the sink should be preferred.
A wide range of filters are available in stores. The most popular models are water purifiers from Barrier, Aquaphor, Brita, Atoll, Geyser.
