Drinking Water Filtration Equipment - 3 Common Mistakes People Make When Selecting Home Purifiers

It's a shame that today there is a strong case to be made for having home drinking water equipment

. The deteriorating quality of the water supplies means that many toxic chemicals have found their way in. Here are the most common mistakes people make when choosing equipment.

#1 Choosing a System That Delivers Distilled Water

The old fashioned distillation and reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water equipment demineralize the water, leaving it distilled.

This basically means that they strip away essential trace minerals which you need to stay healthy. These include magnesium, calcium and iron. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that all drinking water should contain these minerals as the body absorbs them better from water than any other source.

Without these minerals you are at risk of many health conditions later in life and a lack of them is especially bad for young children.

#2 Choosing a System that Fails to Filter Out Harmful Synthetic Chemicals

Although there are many different systems to choose from today, only one type can remove the modern day menace of synthetic chemicals like herbicides, pesticides and prescription drugs.

The popular kitchen jug types and the RO systems fail to prevent many chemicals from getting into your water. The jug filters are too small to remove anything except some chlorine to improve the taste. Because these synthetic contaminants are molecularly smaller than water, the RO filters are unable to remove them as they are only a physical filter.

Active carbon block systems however are the only ones the EPA recommends as they can physically and chemically remove the contaminants. They can chemically bind the synthetic chemicals to their surface and the best ones can remove 99% of all contaminants in your water supply today.

#3 Thinking More Expensive Drinking Water Equipment Will Be Better

With many things, you get what you pay for! Unfortunately this is not true for water filters as the carbon block ones tend to be the cheapest available. In addition they do not waste gallon after gallon of water like the RO systems.

A good countertop model that removes 99% of all the contaminants can be had for less than $100 and only requires a simple filter change every six months.

If you follow these tips, you will be able to confidently select the most effective and economical drinking water equipment to protect the health and well-being of your family.
