The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Water Filtration System for Your Home

Posted on

              The best water filtration systems depend on several factors, including the quality of your local water supply, the types of contaminants you want to remove, and your budget. Here are a few types of water filtration systems that are popular and effective:

• Reverse osmosis systems: Reverse osmosis (RO) is a highly effective water filtration process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove a wide range of impurities from water. RO systems are ideal for removing contaminants such as dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, and other harmful substances found in water. RO systems are typically installed under the sink. They are more expensive than other filtration systems. Still, their high effectiveness makes them a popular choice for many homeowners.

• Carbon filters: Carbon filters are affordable and practical for removing common contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water. Carbon filters absorb impurities as the water passes through the filter material. They can be installed under the sink or attached to a water pitcher or dispenser, making them an ideal choice for improving the taste and odor of drinking water.
• UV filters: Ultraviolet (UV) filters use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses in water. UV filters are effective at killing microorganisms, but they do not remove other contaminants, such as heavy metals or dissolved solids. They are often used with different filtration systems, such as carbon filters or RO systems. They are typically installed at the point of use.

• Water distillers: Water distillers work by boiling water, collecting the steam, and condensing it into purified water. This process removes impurities such as dissolved solids, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Water distillers can effectively remove contaminants but can be slow and use a lot of energy. They are typically used for small-scale applications at home or in a laboratory.
• Water softeners: Water softeners use ion exchange technology to remove minerals that cause hard water, such as calcium and magnesium. They can be either salt-based or salt-free, and are designed to prevent scaling and extend the lifespan of appliances that use water. Salt-based systems use a brine solution to regenerate the resin beads. In contrast, salt-free systems use a template-assisted crystallization process to prevent minerals from adhering to surfaces.

Whole-house water filtration systems: Whole-house water filtration systems are designed to treat all the water entering your home. These systems can effectively remove many contaminants, including sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities. They are typically installed at the point where water enters your home and can include multiple stages of filtration, such as sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and RO systems, to remove a wide range of contaminants.

When selecting a water filtration system, you must consider your specific needs and the quality of your local water supply. Consulting with a water treatment specialist can help you select the best system for your home. Ultimately, the best water filtration system for you will depend on your budget, the contaminants you want to remove, and your specific requirements.

A point-of-use reverse osmosis (RO) system is a water filtration device that is connected to a single fixture (e.g., under the kitchen sink) and uses the process of RO to remove contaminants from the water supplied to that fixture. RO is the process by which pressure forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, creating a stream of treated water, called “permeate,” and a stream of reject water called “concentrate” or “brine.” These systems can potentially remove water contaminants such as lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PFAS, arsenic, bacteria, and viruses. Point-of-use RO systems are typically installed in residential settings but can also be found in commercial office spaces or kitchens.

Treat With Efficiency

While RO systems can improve water quality, these systems can also generate a significant amount of water waste to operate. For example, a typical point-of-use RO system will generate five gallons or more of reject water for every gallon of treated water produced. Some inefficient units will generate up to 10 gallons of reject water for every gallon of treated water produced. In contrast, point-of-use RO systems that earn the WaterSense label must demonstrate that they send just 2.3 gallons of water or less down the drain for every gallon of treated water they produce.

All products bearing the WaterSense label are independently certified to ensure they meet EPA criteria for efficiency and performance. The WaterSense specification for point-of-use RO systems ensures that labeled RO systems are just as effective at providing the high-quality treated water consumers expect from these products. For more information on RO systems, including how they work and how to select an RO system that is right for you, view this WaterSense report, Treating Water With Less Waste (pdf) .

While the water provided by public water suppliers in the United States is some of the safest in the world, there are times when consumers may want to employ additional treatment technology to ensure safety of well water or publicly-supplied water. Due to the water-intensive nature of RO, WaterSense does not intend to promote the installation of RO systems for all applications or encourage their use over other water treatment technologies that do not waste as much water (e.g., filtration systems). In some cases, other treatment methods that use little or no water, such as filtration, are sufficient to meet consumer treatment needs. For more information, read the WaterSense Guide to Selecting Water Treatment Systems (pdf).

WaterSense Savings

For consumers who are planning to replace their reverse osmosis system at the point of water use, selecting a WaterSense labeled model will reduce water use on average by more than 3,100 gallons of water per year compared to the water usage of a typical point-of-use RO system. This translates to a savings of 47,000 gallons over the lifetime of the system.

If all point-of-use RO systems sold in the United States were WaterSense labeled, we could save more than 3.1 billion gallons of water across the country annually, which is equivalent to the annual household water needs of nearly 41,000 American homes.

Performance

As part of the WaterSense specification development process, EPA examined key performance metrics to ensure consumer satisfaction. EPA also considered the impact of reducing water waste on RO system performance.

All WaterSense labeled point-of-use RO systems are independently certified to meet performance criteria to ensure user satisfaction and health and safety. Performance criteria address the following areas:

• Membrane Life: Ensures the RO membrane will last at least one year before requiring replacement.
• Total Dissolved Solids Reduction: Ensures a system meets a baseline contaminant reduction level for total dissolved solids.
• Contaminant Reduction: Ensures a system is tested and certified to remove any additional contaminants the manufacturer claims it can remove.
