Water filters used to be a luxury,
today, they have become a necessity.
THE CHANGING WORLD OF WATER
For many of us, gone are the days of placing
your head or mouth under a water tap (or faucet)
and enjoying pure, fresh, mountain spring quality water.
Domestic water supplied from the sea, from polluted rivers
or ground water sources, have become more and more
common place.
POINT OF USE WATER FILTERS
With water treatment technologies like desalination of sea water
using reverse osmosis, the removal of calcium and salt from well
water, as well as the regeneration and treatment of surface waters
using specialized filtration and water treatment techniques, has
led to the high demand for point of use water filters.
Specifically for drinking water and cooking water needs.
BOTTLED DRINKING WATER
The once taken for granted safety of tap water (faucet water)
is long gone. This can be seen in the fastest growth market for
beverages in the world, bottled water. Once a European fashion,
it was stimulated by the high risk of illnesses that originated
from polluted water in the European countries. Tourists always
insisted on bottled water. The issue of water quality and the
source of bottled mineral water has long been a demand of
the savvy international tourist.
WATER FILTER CHOICES
Choices of point of use water filters are enormous. There
is literally a water filter to suite every situation or circumstance.
Filters to remove tannin from water, remove iron from well
water, to soften water and remove the hard water effect on
pipes and geysers. Water filters to process the supply needs
of whole house water supply or to satisfy the needs of drinking
and cooking water only. There are tap or faucet end filters with
really advanced water treatment technology like ceramic filled
with granular activated charcoal and silver nano gauze. There is
ultra~filtration, five stage Reverse osmosis filtration and a plethora
of bits and pieces that go along with it all.
