How do water filters work?

Can you explain how water filters work?

Sure! Water filters work by removing impurities and contaminants from water using various methods like physical barriers, chemical processes, or biological means.

What are the different types of water filters?

There are several types, including activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis systems, UV filters, and ceramic filters, each with its own mechanism.

How does activated carbon filtering work?

Activated carbon filters use a process called adsorption, where contaminants stick to the surface of the carbon, effectively removing them from the water.

Are there any contaminants that carbon filters can't remove?

Yes, activated carbon filters may not effectively remove heavy metals, nitrates, or certain microorganisms, which may require additional filtration methods.

How often should I replace my water filter?

It depends on the type of filter and usage, but generally, it's recommended to replace them every 6 months to a year for optimal performance.
