One type of water filter application is known as the faucet mounted water filter. This filter is very convenient and easy to install with minimal technical know-how. The faucet mounted filter will require you to unscrew the protective ring on your sink faucet and simply attach the water filter unit. These units normally have a switch on them where you can turn the water on or off. This directs the water to go straight out the faucet like normal or diverts it through the filter media before exiting the faucet. These filters tend to last longer because they are only used as people want the filtered water but not for bulk use. This is typical for people drinking straight tap water a lot.
When using the faucet mounted water filter, people should read the information provided thoroughly because some will require more maintenance than others. Most of these types of water filter systems have a cartridge filter unit. These cartridges can be purchased from most supply companies and from where you purchase your unit. Be sure to maintain the model number so if a new version is released, you are not paying for more expensive filter cartridges than your system uses. The wrong filter will not be effective in a water filtration system. The faucet mounted water filter systems can be found in most building supply chains such as Lowes or Home Depot. When installing the unit, make sure you do not over-tighten the unit where it may damage the threads.
