Filters
- Central Water Filtration System: It is installed at the main water supply of the house (at the meters) and filters the water for the entire house.
- Under Sink: The filter is installed under the kitchen counter and connected to the cold water supply of the kitchen faucet.
- Countertop: The device is placed on the kitchen countertop and connects to the faucet.
- Jug: The filter is placed internally in a special jug.
- for Faucet: The filter is installed directly on the kitchen faucet.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO): Water is forced through a membrane under pressure, allowing water molecules to pass through but blocking impurities, including bacteria, viruses, and dissolved metals such as calcium and magnesium.
- Washing Machine: It is placed either at the water inlet or inside the washing machine to retain limescale and other particles.
- Shower: Connects to the inlet or outlet of the shower handset hose.
- Softeners: If there are problems with water hardness, these filters remove calcium and magnesium, replacing them with other ions, usually sodium.
- This refers to the size and type of the filter. To choose the correct replacement filter, you need to know the size and type of the filtration device.
- Activated Carbon: Absorbs and removes impurities, such as chlorine and heavy metals, improving the quality and taste of the water.
- Ceramic: It has small pores that allow water to pass through while retaining microorganisms.
- Reverse Osmosis Membrane: It features a semi-permeable membrane that forces water to pass through it under pressure, removing salts, chemicals, and microorganisms.
- Polypropylene: Lightweight and durable material that filters larger impurities such as dirt, sand, and rust.
- Resin: Removes substances such as calcium and magnesium from the water, addressing the "hardness" of the water.
- Thread: It consists of wires or threads that are woven to create a porous fabric. It removes larger particles such as dirt and sand from the water.
- The unit of measurement for water filter replacement filters is the same as one millionth of a meter (1 μm = 1/1000 mm). The lower the micron value, the better and more effective the filtration.
