All drinking systems will typically consist of a carbon media to remove tastes, odors and organic chemicals from water. Other types of filtration may be incorporated with the carbon to remove cysts and bacteria. Note that carbon-based filters should not be used with untreated water (non-municipal sources) as carbon media can be an excellent breeding ground for micro- biologicals.
Typically consists of carbon-based media where you pour the water into the top of the pitcher and the water will filter through to the basin of the pitcher after several minutes. Removes taste and odors, but should not be used with non-municipal sources. While the initial cost of this system is low, filters need to be changed often, which can make this system expensive over time.
Typically consists of carbon-based filters that will supply water to your ice-maker and cold water dispenser on the exterior of the unit. The majority of these are not rated for microbiological removal and should not be used with non-municipal water sources.
Consist of sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and membrane technology, like EcoWater’s ERO 375. These systems are typically point of use with a dedicated faucet and provide all of the benefits of carbon filtration, but also filter down to the molecular levels and are able to remove minerals (i.e., sodium, calcium). Some may be rated for microbial removal -- read the label to be sure.
Typically point of use like EcoWater's EPS 1000. Specialty Filtration
Includes iron filtration (ETF 2100), oxidation (ETF AIV & EIV) and de-ionization (DI) applications.
