What are the Different Types of Water Purification Systems?
Water purification systems have become a necessity in many parts of the world due to pollution and other contaminants in drinking water supplies. A water filter removes impurities from the water. Different types of water filters do this in different ways. Distillers are one kind of water purification system. They work by heating the water up until turns into a vapor. When the steam cools, in a different area of the filter, it condenses back into water. This is one of the best ways to get very pure water. Some people, however, feel that distilled water tastes “flat,” as the oxygen has been largely removed by the distilling process. Distilling cannot remove chemicals that have the same boiling point as water, such as ammonia. They are a very slow type of filter, often only able to clean around three liters of water an hour.
