How to choose a water filter by type

If you're buying a water filter, you should consider what exactly you need and how much water you need to filter. There are several types of different water filtration systems and their classification. I'll give you two ways to choose a water filter by type, this is the first one.
Our first classification is based on installation type and includes:
Whole house
under the sink
Faucet installation
pitcher
Whole house filtration systems provide filtered water for the entire house and are installed at the house's water source. This is an option for people who want clear, clean water for all uses, not just for cooking and drinking. Showering and bathing in clean, uncontaminated water is always good for health. After reaching a system of this size, more water softening or fine filtration can be built.
Under-sink filters usually come with a dedicated faucet or faucet and are installed under the sink. Under-sink filters serve a single sink in your apartment or house. You also get clean water for cooking and drinking, housework and washing. If sink filters are chosen, they are usually installed in kitchens and bathrooms.
The filters installed on the faucet are usually small and can filter the water in the faucet. If you want unfiltered water, you can easily get it as many faucet filter models will divert water from the filter.
Pitcher filters are great for those who occasionally need to clean and filter water. Water is added to the top of the kettle and flows through the filter into the main container, so you can have some filtered water in minutes.
Another classification of water filters is based on the type of filtration, as follows:
Activated carbon filter
reverse osmosis filter
Distiller.
Carbon filters deal with chlorine residue and other odor issues as well as general taste. Contaminants adhere or adsorb to the surface of the carbon particles as they flow through the filter. Activated carbon filters are the best choice for removing radon, pesticide residues and other specific organic chemicals. Carb filters come in different designs and sizes, including whole-house systems and small kitchen units.
Reverse osmosis technology is widely used to provide clean and pure water to industry. First it was used to desalinate seawater. Here's how they work: Water is forced under pressure against a fine semi-permeable membrane that repels most contaminants and allows only a single molecule to pass through. Oxygen also passes through, which keeps the water free from dead odors.
Stills use an ancient method of heating water until it evaporates. Dissolved oxygen is lost during filtration, which is why distilled water smells bad. This process is ineffective for most chemicals and is rather slow. This means that stills are still useful, but cannot be used to obtain clean drinking and cooking water.
Carefully consider the details before choosing water treatment equipment. Price shouldn't be the most important factor.
