Choosing the Right Filter System
What type of water are you filtering?
Municipally treated, or town water, can contain variable levels of contaminants such as chlorine, bacteria, cryptosporidium, giardia, rust etc.
Alternative water supplies such as wells, bores, springs, streams and rainwater tanks have not been treated so can easily be contaminated with bacteria, cryptosporidium and giardia.
Any water can contain large amounts of unwanted impurities such as mud, silt, rust, etc. The pipes carrying and supplying the water may be adding impurities as well.
