The advantage of carbon water filters lies in the fact that they use the newest technology based on the latest research in water quality and human health. To really see this clearly, it helps to compare them to their counterparts - bottled brands, reverse osmosis, sediment filters, and distillation.

Of these other types, bottled brands are the most expensive and the worst quality in comparison to systems that use a carbon water filter. The FDA does not even regulate bottled brands except to say that they have to be as good as tap. So what's the point of paying a dollar a gallon or more for water when it's not better than tap? Good question. This is, of course, the question that bottled water manufacturers don't want us asking. Recently, the National Resources Defense Council has publicly reprimanded bottled water corporations, pointing out that not only is it no more than tap water in a plastic jug, the plastic in which it is housed leeches chemicals into the water, making it carcinogenic.

So much for bottled. The next and most well-known filtration system is reverse osmosis. The history of this process is that it was developed when scientists thought that the minerals and metals that naturally occur in water were bad for human health. As the years passed, it has been discovered that nature is smarter than we thought, and the naturally occurring stuff is good for us. The bad stuff, in fact, is comprised of the chemicals that humans have introduced into the water supply through agriculture, industry, and household chemical cleanser waste. In response to this new knowledge, carbon water filters were developed and have come into widespread use.

The third common filter is the one that removes sediment like sand from the water. While this is a useful step to go through in a complete filtration system such as a whole house water filter, it is incomplete on its own. No matter how much sand and such you remove from the water, the harmful chemicals will pass through without a carbon water filter.

The other process that is sometimes used is distillation. Distilled water may be good for your iron, but like reverse osmosis, it removes the minerals and metals that occur naturally and leaves the chemicals intact.

So this leaves us with the carbon water filters as the only type of filter that removes the harmful chemicals. Fortunately, carbon filter usage has skyrocketed. The most convenient and most economical systems are those that attach to the faucet itself, drawing water through the filter as it comes through the tap and out into your sink or shower.

The advantages of this type of carbon water filter are that they are easy to install, they cost very little to maintain, their filters last longer, and they are easier to operate than other styles. Adding only ten cents or less to each gallon of water that flows through the filter, they are by far the best option of improving your home's water quality.
