According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), millions of Americans consume water polluted with pesticides, heavy metals, and arsenic. Consequently, the United States faces the growing challenge of ensuring a safe water supply for communities.
It is common knowledge that water contaminants pose risks to human health. So, what is the most viable protection from drinking these water contaminants? Upgrading the domestic water supply and making household water safe for drinking seems to be the most feasible answer. Due to this, many home water purification systems are available on the market. The faucet water filters are among the most convenient ones to install and use. They also meet the water requirements of a whole family.
Why Use A Faucet Water Filter?
Faucet water filters provide extra advantages over other water filter systems, including minimal installation and maintenance effort, high-performance water purification, and so on.
Tap Water Contaminants Reduction
Faucet filtration systems deliver water suitable for various purposes. For example, you can use the water to make coffee, wash fruit, brush your teeth, and wash your face. The filtration system filters out suspended pollutants, algae, insects, and rust. It also effectively removes chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, odor, and taste.
Plastic Bottled Water Consumption Reduction
Faucet water filters minimize the usage of plastic water bottles and, consequently, the associated cost spent on bottled water. Many people purchasing bottled water feel they are buying a high-quality product. Unfortunately, bottled mineral water has higher TDS levels than tap water. The water has a higher concentration of chemicals if it sits inside the bottle for long.
No Installation Scenarios are Necessary
Faucet water filters are the most common types of countertop filters out there. Installing a faucet filter is seamless; you can easily connect it to an existing faucet in your kitchen sink. Furthermore, faucet water filters stand out from other countertop water filters because they offer unlimited filtered water.
Budget Friendliness
Faucet water filters are more budget-friendly compared to other water filtration systems. Despite their lower costs, this type of water filter is able to make your tap water fit for drinking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to remove the filter before descaling the equipment?
Yes. It is best to remove the filter before descaling. In addition, check the filter for integrity and replace it with a new one if necessary.
Q: If I do not change the filter every 3 or 4 months, can this damage the system?
Yes. Replacing the filter according to its lifespan is ideal. Also, if the water flow reduces or there is heavy sediment or rust, kindly replace the filter. Leaving the filter for long will fatigue and degrade its performance.
Q: Why does my water have black specks, or why does it taste funny?
The water filter is made from the purest carbon blocks. During shipping, the filter bounces around, making some carbon granules loose from the block. The little carbon granules are also known as fines. Before using water filters from the market, it is best to carry out preliminary flushing to reduce carbon fines. Sometimes, you will need to flush the system more than once, especially if you have scale or lime water. In addition, it is best to flush the systems if you go on a vacation and do not use filtered water for several days. Flushing reduces any stagnant water.
