- Bacteria, viruses and parasites

Types of Whole House Water Filtration Systems
What are the types of water filters and how do you know which one is right for you? We’ve outlined the different types so you can make the best choice for your home.
- Activated carbon: Activated carbon filters remove chlorine, sediment, and VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) from a home’s water supply. They improve the taste and smell of the water but don’t remove minerals, salt and inorganic matter from water.
- Reverse osmosis: RO filters, as they are commonly called, significantly reduce contaminants in the water, such as salt, lead, mercury, asbestos, calcium, and iron. These filters do not remove chlorine, radon, or other VOCs.
- Alkaline & Water Ionizers: Water ionizers raise the PH of drinking water by separating water into acidic and alkaline parts. The alkaline water is isolated into the stream of water that you would drink and use for all of your household tasks.
- UV and Infrared filters: Ultraviolet (UV) water systems kill bacteria and viruses, disinfecting a home’s water supply without using chemicals. Like alkaline filters, Infrared purifiers soften water using heat and light to negatively charge the water.
