Which Water Filter System should I Use?

Do you know how to choose to install a water filter system? For discoloured water with fine particles of grit and other foreign material, a polypropylene or ceramic filter will effectively remove the sediment. It will not remove bacteria.

To remove naturally occurring or disinfection tastes and odours from water an activated carbon filter is more appropriate. It will not remove bacteria.

To remove chemicals and bacteria, a reverse osmosis or distiller system would be required.

In most circumstances domestic household water filters or ultra violet treatment systems will not make water safe in relation to amoeba unless you also disinfect with chlorine.
