How to Choose a Water Filter

I found myself overwhelmed with information—so much so, that I would get frustrated and just stop looking.

It took me quite a while to actually make a buying decision. And, in retrospect, I made some wrong decisions at that.

Thus, my intent with WaterBenefitsHealth.com is to keep things simple. I want to help you save valuable time and money and make the water filter decision easier by providing credible but condensed information.

Over the years, I have tried drinking water from a number of different water filters. I have consulted with other health practitioners, and I have scoured the web for professional reviews, customer feedback and buyer ratings.

Simple Three-Step Water Filter Reviews Process

To help you quickly yet thoroughly understand how to choose a water filter to suit your needs, lifestyle and budget, I recommend that you begin by following the simple three-step process outlined below.

Read the brief summaries in each of these three steps. This background information will help you to understand water filter reviews and recommendations for specific products.

Doing so will also help you to quickly understand what’s available in water filtration, which filters provide the cleanest and/or healthiest drinking water, and what type of water filter will best fit your needs and budget.

Step 1: Understand why it is necessary to filter tap water.

Even though the United States has some of the cleanest drinking water in the world, almost every source of tap water is still relatively unhealthy to drink. Learn why.

You can also find out if your local water report is posted online. When evaluating the best water filter for your home, it definitely helps to know what type of contaminants you are dealing with.

Note: If you are already convinced of the need to filter your tap water so that you can drink safer, healthier water, you can skip this step.

However, you might want to come back later and check it out.

Step 2: Learn the most effective water purification methods.

You’ve probably heard about or even used some of the more popular water purification methods and technologies available today, such as reverse osmosis, distillation, carbon block, activated carbon, ultraviolet, ion exchange, particulate and KDF filtration.

What’s the difference in these technologies and are more advanced technologies available?

Step 3: Review the pros and cons of the different water filter types.

Water filters come in an array of types and sizes. This step will help you to consider the different options, based on your filtration needs, budget and preferences.

Types of filters include pitchers or dispensers, faucet mounted, counter top, under the sink, or whole house. Understand the pros and cons.

Even though the focus of this site is primarily about drinking water, we also recommend using a bath and/or shower filter because of their significant health benefits.
