Would An Under Sink Water Filter Help Your Family To Consume More Water?

By Lucy Cho


Water filters, such as a countertop water filter or under sink water filter, have become simpler to install and easier to maintain. There are many types of filters now available, everything from simple carafes to whole house systems, which make purifying your water as easy as turning on the tap. And in recent years, additives such as shilajit powder, have become increasingly available to help you get the most from the water that you drink.

Ask even a small child and he will know that you need to drink water to stay healthy. In fact, children may actually be easier to convince them some adults! The human body is made up of over 2/3 water and most body systems require water in order to function properly. Because we know that water is vital to our bodies, it becomes increasingly important to know what is actually in our water. Once you know what exists in the water in your home, choose a filter from the many types that are currently available (under sink water filter, countertop water filter, simple carafe, whole house system, etc.) that will best meet your needs and budget. And finally, determine what features currently available are most important to meet your family's needs.

Most people mistakenly believe that tap water is safe because it is governed by regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). While it is true that most water does not cause people to become unhealthy, most locations readily admit federal water quality violations. Dangerous contaminants such as lead, chloroform, arsenic, nitrate, nitrite, radon, and E. coli bacteria are common in tap water and sometimes are not removed appropriately. Take New York City for example. In a sample taken for the consumer confidence report, or CCR, by the EPA there was more than several times the legal limit of lead present in the water. And, while these reports are helpful, they only take into account general locations, not your specific tap. If you really want to know what is in your individual water supply, have your specific tap tested.

Once you know what is present in your water supply, identify a filter that will meet your needs. Consider what you need to filter and also what your household needs are for water consumption. For example, if your household uses several gallons a day for drinking water, a simple carafe would require constant refilling to accommodate demand. This need to constantly refill might not work for your household. Also consider what space will allow. For instance, if you can't spare the countertop space for a countertop water filter an under sink water filter might meet your needs more adequately. Identifying your needs and then looking for a filter that fits your needs and budget is a good idea.

And finally, take a look at the different features that various filters offer. Be sure to consider location for your filter and what space will allow. Some filters offer the benefit of easy plumbing connections, so hiring a plumber is not necessary. Other filters offer electronic indicators that remind you when it is time to replace filtration cartridges. Some countertop and under sink water filters even offer a separate compartment for additives, such as shilajit powder. So, before you purchase, know what features you desire and which ones you can live without.

Countertop or under sink water filter or even a whole house system, offer many options and features, such as the ability to add shilajit powder, that can make the water you drink even better for you and members of your family.
