Water Purifiers - Options And Tips |

By Ilse Hagen
Invest in a water purifier. You will be surprised at what might be lurking in the tap water you drink every day. Fungi, bacteria, and toxic metals are just some of the things that may contaminate tap water. If you want your family to stay healthy, then you definitely need a water purifier.
Some options
There are different types of water purifiers, and each one works differently. Most homes use ionization filters, which attract the contaminant particles using static electricity. Ionizers are considered the most effective water purification systems. A cheaper option is the charcoal filter. It uses ground charcoal to absorb the particles and let the clean water through.
There are also distillers, which work by boiling and condensing the water, and reverse osmosis, which uses a thin membrane as filter. Both are slow and inefficient compared to charcoal filters and ionizers, but they are also the most affordable.
The taste of clean
Purified water should taste light, clean, and fresh. Some water purifiers remove important elements that leave it tasting bland. Distillers, for example, tend to boil out the oxygen content and make the water taste flat. This does not affect the quality of the water, but you should avoid distillers if the taste of flat water bothers you.
Save power
Your water purifier must be efficient ¨C it must use up as little power as possible to filter a reasonable amount of water. Some models yield water drop by drop, which can add up to a considerable waste of time and money. The government usually grades them for power efficiency, so look for a government approval seal to make sure you¡¯re not getting a power guzzler.
