Compare Different Water Filtration Methods-R.O., Distillation, UV

Water Filtration Methods Comparison

There are a wide range of water filters, purifiers, and methods of water purification available on the market today. In reality, there is no single filter or treatment that will eliminate 100% of every contaminant from your water. Many technologies target only a specific type of contaminant and may be completely ineffective against others. Typically, most higher-end systems use a combination of filter technologies to achieve the best results. It is nevertheless important to choose a system that specifically targets the known or potential contaminants in your personal water supply.

To help you gain a better understanding of each major home water purification technology, please consult the Comparison Chart below. Compare your water testing results to the chart and information to determine your best filtration /purification options.
