6-stage Alkaline Water Filters
The water goes through a reverse osmosis water filter to start. After that, it passes through a mineral cartridge that enriches the water with beneficial amounts of calcium and magnesium. This process alkalizes the water and raises its pH to 8.5-9.5.
When the pH of your water is lower than 7, that indicates that it is more acidic. The more acidic your water is, the more likely it is to leach metals from your pipes or well. High levels of certain metals can be toxic for your body. This is what makes an Alkaline water filter so beneficial!
The calcium and magnesium ions turn the water into alkaline water, but they won’t leave behind residue the way unprocessed water does. But what is Alkaline water? It is water with a higher pH level that tends to be more hydrating than tap water and can help neutralize the acidity in your body.
When considering entire house water filter systems, it’s important to have an understanding of what the water is filtering and how it works.
Reverse Osmosis Water Filters
A reverse osmosis water filter system uses a six-step filtration process to leave you with clear, great-tasting water. The first step with RO water filters is a sediment pre-filter to remove tiny particles that may be in your water.
Next, the water goes through an activated carbon filter that removes anything unpleasant, like a chlorine taste or sulfur smell. The water then goes through a second carbon filter that improves the taste of the water even further.
The fourth step is the reverse osmosis membrane filter, which is key to the whole process. It filters out dissolved elements like lead, copper, industrial solvents, and other contaminants.
Finally, the water passed through a post-filter that polishes water to leave it fresh and clear. It’s a very thorough form of water filtration for the home. Reverse osmosis water filters are a very thorough form of water filtration for the home.
