If you are into health than you are sure to appreciate the health benefits of having filtered water. But hooking up the filter is just the start. It is equally important that you remember to use a filter replacement cartridge at the intervals recommended by the filter manufacturer. A filter is a great way of removing contaminants from your drinking water supply, but as it does dirt tends to clog the filter. When the filter is clogged it becomes less effective at doing its job. That is why you need to use a filter replacement cartridge regularly to keep your drinking water supply fresh and clean.

Based on your water usage, filters can be a very convenient thing to install throughout your household. For example, the kitchen faucet is what is most commonly used for drinking water. Therefore, your kitchen faucet would be the most important place in your house to install a filtration system. Filtration systems come in two main varieties that each do the job of cleansing your water.

The original filter mounts directly to the tap. This is the least invasive, and most economic, option. The filter unit is kept at easy access; making replacement easy. Tap mounted systems screw directly into the end of the faucet. Simply swivel the unit, or push a button to switch between filtered/non filtered water.

The only time you really need to use filtered water is when you want to actually drinking it, like a glass of water or boiling a pot of coffee. If you are cooking with water, doing the dishes, or simply washing your hands, unfiltered tap water is just fine to use. By limiting how much filtered water you actually use, you will decrease the amount of filter replacement cartridges you will have to purchase, thus saving you money.

A second choice for a kitchen sink water filtration system is an under the sink mounted system. This style of filter is larger and filters all the water that passes through it. It mounts out of the way under the sink so that you do not have to see it which makes it more aesthetically pleasing if that is important to you. This system and the filter replacement cartridge that goes with it are more expensive, but they also last longer so it is a good investment.

An under the sink filtration system will typically be plumbed separately to the back of the sink. This can typically be achieved with a simple steel tube style faucet. In doing this, you allow for a separate drinking faucet, and a dishwashing system.

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.
