People who are into their health will certainly be pleased with the benefits of filtering their water. However, there is much to do besides merely hooking up the filter. One must also be sure to replace the filter cartridge at appropriate intervals as per the manufacturer's recommendations. The filter removes contaminants from your water, but this process can clog the filter with the dirt that has been removed. A clogged filter does not work as efficiently as it should. This is precisely why one must change the filter replacement cartridge as needed. This will keep your drinking water clean and contaminant free.

Filters are convenient for use in the house because there are several places you can install them depending on your water usage. The most common place to drink from is the kitchen faucet. That is why this is the most important place for you to install a filtration system. There are two main kinds that will do the job of cleaning your water.

The first is a filter that mounts right to the tap. This is the simplest and least expensive option and it is also the easiest to install. And when it is time for a filter replacement cartridge the filter unit is right out in the open so it is easy to get to. These tap mounted units simply screw to the end of your kitchen faucet. Then you can either push a button on the filter or swivel the unit and it will change between giving you straight tap water or diverting it through the filter.

If you are cooking or washing dishes or your hands, there is no need to use filtered water so you can use the straight tap water. But if you want a drink of water or are making a pot of coffee, you should use the filtered water because it will taste better and be better for you. Since you have the option of when to use the filter you will use less filter replacement cartridges.

A larger, less conspicuous water filtration system is one which is mounted under the kitchen sink. All the water which passes through it is filtered. The system and its filter replacement cartridge last longer making the higher price tag worth paying.

Typically the under sink mounted filtration system will have a different tap that is usually mounted at the back edge of the sink. It could simply be an attractive stainless steel faucet that is only used to fill drinking glasses and won't be in your way while you are washing dishes in the sink.

Another good spot for a filter is the water system in your refrigerator. An inline filter will even clean the water used to make your ice cubes! Don't forget, this will require a filter change every now and then too. - 27772
