A water filter is a device that eliminates impurities from water by reducing contamination through a fine physical barrier, such as filter elements or cartridges. It also serves to filter contaminating components that water may contain, such as chlorine particles. active, organochlorine and organic compounds, iron, excess calcium and magnesium salts, cations and anions of heavy metals, viruses and dangerous bacteria.
The basic idea of mechanical filtration is to physically remove sediment, dirt or any particles in the water, using a physical barrier. A mechanical filter can range from a basic mesh for filtering out large debris to a ceramic filter that has an extremely complex pore structure for ultra-fine filtration of pathogenic organisms.
A filter that uses mechanical filtration will typically receive a micron rating which indicates how effective the filter is in terms of the size of particles it is able to retain.
The most common classifications include:
Activated carbon filter: It is a filter in which carbon works as an absorber of harmful particles. They are very common on the market, low cost and are found in presentations designed for easy installation in home laundry rooms. They can be found from 80 or 100 soles. It is also widely used in the production of packaged and alcoholic beverages because it eliminates bad odors, but not metals.
Ceramic filter: It is a type of filter that works through micropores. Its great advantage is its long useful life, but like other filters, it does not eliminate chemical substances.
