Some purification systems might deprive the water of its healthy chemicals and minerals while others might add these essentials in the water.

Carbon water filters: This type of filters usually has a carbon cartridge composes of coconut husk when the liquid passes through the cartridge, it absorbs all the impurities except for sediments. It is the most commonly used kind of water filter in our houses.

Charcoal water filter: It generally has two types, it can be a carbon block filter or Activated Silver Impregnated charcoal filter. Ieither cases, it can takes out more impurities than a carbon filter. However, carbon filters might not normalize the PH level of acidic water. These filters also come with a unique micron ratings. Only a system with a micron rating less than 0.01 is capable of filtering out viruses.

Ceramic Water filter: The main element that helps in filtration process in ceramic filter is Diatomaceous earth. It is a fossil substance that is made up of silicon shells and this substance eliminates the tiny impurities and organisms from the water and a layer of silver helps in reducing growth of these impurities.

Reverse Osmosis: This kind of filter systems is said to be the most successful filter system up till now. It clears out most of the residues and impurities that other kinds of filters might have left out. One disadvantage, however, is the filteration of healthy minerals along other impurities. According to scientists and researchers, water without minerals can be equally harmful. Therefore, these minerals must be addedagain in order to make the water safe to drink.

UV filter systems: In such types of filter systems, a high frequency ray is introduced into a glass or container. The light promptly kills all the organisms present in the water. Although, it is a fast and instantaneous way to purify a glass of water, the result is never gaurenteed without a laboratory test.
