Under-Sink & Countertop Water Filters
under sink water filters
They are simple to put in place, simple to maintain, and very handy. The most efficient under-sink water filters are excellent in removing pollutants from water and making it safe for drinking and cooking.Â
An under-sink water filter could be a useful purchase if you need a sustainable water treatment system that filters all the water in your home. Under-sink water filters, also known as under-counter filters, are designed to be installed out of sight, right where their name suggests: under the sink. They are cost-effective and efficient, in addition to being unobtrusive. They can even eliminate the need for frequent pitcher filter refills. So that the purifier is out of sight and the kitchen remains uncluttered, they are made to be integrated with a built-in sink in contemporary kitchens. The governmental organizations that have shown major concerns about the current groundwater and contaminants that are infesting the local municipalities' water supply systems have increased the demand for such under-the-sink filtration systems.Â
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working to tighten laws on lead and copper because as many as 10 million homes in the United States get their water supply through lead pipes and service lines. The problem of per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These so-called permanent chemicals, which are used in the production of some consumer goods and firefighting foam, are poisoning groundwater supplies at an alarming rate, prompting the EPA to issue a health advisory and making headlines at GH's 2021 Raise the Green Bar Sustainability Summit. This is among the major reasons why consumers are taking it upon themselves to install an under-the-sink reverse osmosis filtration system to ensure purified water is reaching their homes.Â
How long do under-sink water filters last?
When calculating the total cost of ownership for an under-sink water filter, consider the filter's expected lifetime in terms of years. Some may last as short as three months, while others might endure anywhere from six to twelve months or more.
