Tap water in apartments and houses today is far from ideal. Mechanical and chemical pollutants, phosphates, and organic substances make it unsuitable for drinking or cooking. Boiling can partially address the issue with tap water, but while chemical impurities may evaporate during heating, most contaminants remain. Those who want to drink safe and well-purified water should consider purchasing a water filter.
A characteristic chlorinated smell, numerous foreign impurities, an iron taste, and cloudiness… This is how water from the main pipeline enters most apartments. Drinking it in its “pure” form is strictly prohibited, as it can harm your health. A high-quality filtration system is essential. Specialists at «CERAMA MARKET» can guide you on how to choose the right water filter for your apartment.
The modern market offers systems designed to purify water from all types of contaminants. Before purchasing a filter, it is helpful to determine the composition of the water. In Ukraine, specialized laboratories are available where you can bring water samples and receive a complete analysis in a short amount of time. This will help identify the specific contaminants to address and choose the best filter that will effectively handle the impurities.
What water issues do apartment owners most often face? The main problems include:
An ideal solution for such contamination is a mainline cartridge filter. This filter is installed directly into the plumbing system, on pipes for cold or hot water, or within the heating system. It addresses all the issues mentioned above and protects plumbing fixtures from mechanical particles. However, the key factor is the proper selection of cartridge systems. It is important to implement a comprehensive solution, as a single cartridge can only eliminate specific types of contaminants.
Mainline filters for drinking water are installed in the kitchen under the sink. They come with a separate faucet included in the set. The system operates without storage tanks, delivering purified water directly from the tap.
A mainline filter typically has 2 to 4 filtration stages. It is selected based on the type and level of water contamination. The most popular option is a mainline sorption filter with two or three cartridges.
Two-stage filtration systems consist of a mechanical filter and a container with a sorbent. They are not suitable for households with water containing high levels of iron. In such cases, a filter designed for hard water is needed. Three-stage systems include an additional cartridge with carbon or other substances to further purify the water. How do they work?
First stage. Removal of foreign mechanical impurities that enter the pipes and clog not only the water but also the plumbing. Modern models can purify the water by 95-98%, depending on the manufacturer. The purifier can be made from various elements, such as polypropylene threads or simply foamed polypropylene.
Second stage. The water passes through a cartridge with charcoal, which helps remove chlorine and various organic particles.
Third stage. Additional purification and enrichment of the water with nutrients. This stage uses a charcoal or ion-exchange cartridge.
When purchasing a water filter, it is worth paying attention to models that allow you to select cartridges for filtration independently. This way, you can easily replace them after they reach the end of their service life. They typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the chosen model.
On the «CERAMA MARKET» website, three plastic options are available:
Therefore, for high-quality water purification from foreign elements and substances, it is worth choosing a household water filter with three cartridges. At the same time, it is important to purchase the appropriate cartridges.
In a private house with its own water supply, it’s easier. The water there usually has a lower level of contamination. However, water from a well, in its untreated form, is still not safe to drink.
The optimal water filter for a house should be chosen based on the depth of the well. For example, if the well is shallow, the water may contain particles from fertilizers, nitrates, as the area around the house often has a garden, flower bed, or vegetable patch. Water from deep wells is cleaner but harder, as it contains iron, hydrogen sulfide, magnesium, and various impurities (organic, mechanical).
Before purchasing a filter, it is also important to analyze the water composition by having it tested. Only after that should you proceed with the search. It’s best to choose comprehensive systems that not only purify the water but also add beneficial properties to it.
For a private house, two types of water filters with replaceable cartridges are suitable: 1) a main filter, as mentioned above; 2) a reverse osmosis filter, which purifies water under high pressure.
A reverse osmosis filter usually includes:
This is more than sufficient for properly purifying water, not only for domestic use but also for drinking.
If the water has high iron content, a bad odor, and foreign impurities, a water filter cartridge with an ion exchanger and activated carbon is absolutely necessary. It will make the water less hard, eliminate the characteristic taste and odor. The activated carbon element will remove chemical residue. The mineralization cartridge will add beneficial properties to the water that may be lost when it comes into contact with the membrane. All types of cartridges are available on the «CERAMA MARKET» website.
Now you know that both in apartments and private houses, a comprehensive approach to water purification is essential.
