Many have asked the difference between the different types of drinking water filters they could use in their homes, at work, or at school.
Activated Carbon Filter:
- Positively charged and highly absorbent carbon media in the filter attracts and traps many drinking water impurities.
- You will typically find these drinking water filter systems on countertops, as point-of-use faucet filters, and under the sink.
- A good system for eliminating bad tastes and odors and a well-rated activated carbon filter will filter out many hazardous contaminants such as heavy metals, disinfection byproducts (i.e. haloacetic acids and trihalomethanes to name a few), chlorine, radon, volatile organic chemicals, parasites, and pesticides.
