Water FiltersWater Filters When shopping for a water filter there are several factors that you need to take into consideration. Which water filter you need depends on the specific contaminents present. To determine this you should acquire a water quality analysis report. Generally there are two types of water filters, POE (point of entry) and POU (point of use). POU units are attached to specific taps and treat water used for consumption whereas a POE device treats all the water that enters your home. In some areas a water filter may not be a viable solution due to impracticalities such as water availability and high treatment prices, but in most cases it is the best solution, and it is a much cheaper solution than bottled water in the long run. Even if your water is perfectly healthy and free of contamination it still may not taste very good. In this case you may still benefit from a water filter - A POU unit will drastically improve the way your water tastes.
