Countertop Water Filter
|
Counter top water filters are easy to install and maintain for most homeowners.
Why Use Them?
Using countertop water filter systems you get filtered water either directly from your faucet or from an additional faucet on the water filter itself, depending on the model.
These models can be quite small, or quite large, depending on the countertop system you decide on. The larger models will usually utilize more than one filter, and should remove more contaminants than those using a single filter.
Countertop filter systems, in general, are less expensive than a whole house water filter system, and easier to install, so they may be easier on your budget. If you’re new to the idea of filtering your water, this is a good way to try it out since you can hook it up yourself.
How They Work?
These water filters sit on the counter near your sink. An easy attachment of a diverter valve to your faucet, run water through the filter system for a minute or two to flush it out, and you’re ready to go.
Countertop filter systems can filter for common contaminants like chlorine, atrazine, pesticides and solvents. You can also get filters to remove arsenic, lead, sediment, and many other toxic ingredients.
Benefits Of A Countertop Water Filter System
 |
Countertop water filter systems can also be installed in your bathrooms, providing healthier water for drinking, washing, shaving, and brushing your teeth.
Why go to all the trouble to filter your drinking water, and then use ordinary tap water when brushing your teeth? This water is absorbed through your gums, just like water is absorbed through your skin while washing and bathing.
Your pets and plants can benefit from healthy water with a countertop water filter too. If you have an aquarium, you’ll be able to fill it with pure water containing no chlorine or other additives at a temperature your fish will be comfortable with.
| Did you know that filtering your own water costs less than expensive bottled water, which may not be any better than what is already coming out of your tap before you add the filter. Adding a countertop water filter is cost-effective because you get healthier water for mere pennies a day, not to mention you don’t have to go to the store to get it, or dispose of all those plastic bottles. |
