Did you know that the American water purifier market is reached a value of $5.85 billion in 2021? The high demand is met by several types of water filtration systems to choose from.

Do you know the different types of residential water filter systems available? Are you looking for the best water filter for your eco-friendly home?

The following guide will explain the different kinds of water filters that exist today. Read on and learn how to make a more sustainable home with filter water.

Whole House Types of Water Filtration

Whole house water filters hook up to your main water supply line in your house. They filter all water through the entire home. That means faucets, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines benefit from the filtration.

They make the water better on your skin and leave less residue on showers and even dishes. They also making improve water for cooking.

You can add different accessories to whole-house systems like those sold at berkeycleanwater.com for extra filtration. For example, they have PF-2 filters for fluoride removal.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse osmosis systems send water through a very fine, semipermeable membrane to filter out contaminants. The process creates water comparable to bottled water in quality. In fact, itching bottled water is a nice eco-friendly perk.

While the system does remove most contaminants it uses more water to do so. Reverse osmosis systems are also known to cause water pressure drops.

Under The Faucet Filters

These systems are installed below the sink. They filter your water before it gets to the faucet.

Under the faucet filter types are easy to install and maintain. They also don’t take up as much space as other systems.

Faucet Mounted Filters

Faucet filters screw directly onto your faucets. They’re inexpensive and allow you to switch between filtered and unfiltered water. Countertop filters work similarly and also attach to faucets.

These systems don’t require installing new plumbing. However, they’re not as good at removing contaminants as whole-house systems.

Pitcher Filters

Pitchers use a carbon filter to limit contaminants from your water. Their sizes range from about 8 cups to a gallon of water.

They don’t filter as well as the other types previously mentioned but they are the most affordable option.

Refrigerator and Shower Filters

Refrigerator filters send filtered water to ice makers and in-door water dispensers. The filters are fairly inexpensive and easy to change.

Shower filters often replace your standard showerhead. They help reduce chlorine, bacteria, and fungus that build up in typical showerheads. The process helps keep skin hydrated and free from irritation.

Ready to Choose a Filter?

Now you know the most common types of water filtration systems that exist. Even the cheapest options provide great benefits. Determine your budget, consider your home’s space, and pick the best filter for your needs.
