subject: The Truth about Everpure Water Filters [print this page] Today people worry a lot about what's in their food and drinking waterfor right reasons. The tap water in our houses we use everyday carries a whole lot more than just plain water after all. And in the search for water filtration systems, choosing the best water purifier system for your home and family can be a taxing task of going through a crowded and competitive market. Here's a helping hand, let's discuss what you get from the Everpure water filters.
Everpure filters cost around $300-$800, and that price range is admittedly on the expensive side of the water filtration system market, but Everpure's system is quite effective in purifying your water. Anything from arsenic, chlorine, lead, pesticides, cysts, drugs, copper, and all sorts of viruses and bacteria are effectively gotten rid of. Some dangerous chlorine by-products though, may be too tough for lower priced Everpure water filters. Such chlorine by-products as Total Trihalomethanes or TTHM's and chloroform are created when chlorine comes into contact with some organic pollutants easily found in water. These substances are easily carcinogensdefinitely not something you'd want in your drinking water.
Of course, the more advanced Everpure water filters claim to be able to handle these tough water contaminants. The advanced (higher priced) Everpure systems are basically a combination of basic (lower priced) systems and reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis most of the time demineralises water to the effect of removing not just harmful contaminants but essential nutrients such as sodium, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. If you've ever had the experience of tasting particularly flat-tasting water, then that water's probably gone through reverse osmosis. The advanced Everpure water filters go upwards of $700.
The question here is, does shelling out that much money for a branded water filtration system worth it?
Considering alternatives, there are multi-stage filtration systems that can perform efficient purges of both the usual contaminants and the harder to get rid of carcinogenic chlorine by-products. They boast efficiency rates of 99% in removing TTHM's and VOC's. And perhaps the most noticeable thing about them is, they cost a lot less than branded water filtration counterparts that can do even less. So the bottom-line is, Everpure may be the preferred brand name, but there are multi-stage purifiers out there that can do much the same thing and cost less.
