What are the different types of filtration systems ?
*There are several different types of filtration systems, each with their pluses and minus. In the removal of harmful pollutants, some systems remove beneficial minerals such as calcium and zinc as well. With all the various options, it can sometimes get confusing which systems offer what. Following is an overview of the most common filtration methods: Distillation: Distilled water essentially has had all the dissolved matter within it remove by first evaporating the water then condensing it back to liquid form. The result is and extremely pure water with no real contaminants. But about 99 percent of all dissolved matter in water is composed of minerals. Hence, distilled water is basically mineral free. Distillation is also costly, energy intensive and slow. Additionally since the water has lost its own minerals, it can leach minerals from the body. Reverse osmosis (RO): RO operates on water pressure, requiring at least 40 pounds per square inch (psi). The water pressure forces water m
