WATER FILTERS WHICH DO I CHOOSE?

Are you thinking of buying a water filter and don't know which one to choose?
We tell you which is the most recommended filter for you according to your preferences.

Water filters are a great alternative to bottled water, which contains plastic contaminants and leaves behind residue due to the bottle.
A tap filter allows you to drink water that is just as purified as bottled water without the bad taste that tap water can sometimes have.

Active carbon filter

If you are mainly concerned with drinking water or want to filter your kitchen tap water easily, cheaply and safely, the best option is to opt for an activated carbon tap water filter. These filters filter solid particles, microparticles, bacteria and chemical components that may be in the water.

At Waly we offer you the Waly OX-2 Glossy stainless steel filter made of active carbon and coconut fiber. Neutralizes the taste of tap water, reduces minerals, but does not completely demineralize the water, filters lime, chlorine, microplastics, heavy metals and other impurities that may be in the water.

Unlike other similar filters, it does not contain plastic, as it is made of stainless steel.
In addition, the Waly filter includes a numerical marking system so that you do not forget the day you have to change the filter.

Reverse osmosis filter

The reverse osmosis filter has a very high capacity to remove everything that is not H2O from the water, but the problem is that it demineralizes it so much that the resulting water is not the best option to drink, since the body needs and is used to it. a water with some mineralization. As a filtering system, it is more complex and expensive than the active carbon filter.

Ultraviolet light filter

If all you're looking for is to filter out bacteria that may be in the water, you can use an ultraviolet light filter. The problem of the ultraviolet light lamp does not allow to remove solid particles.

In addition, it must be taken into account that the supply water does not contain bacteria that are harmful to the human body. Therefore, if you live in a house with potable water supply, it does not make much sense to use this type of filtering system.

Water jugs with filter

The filtration system of most water filter jugs is usually similar to the activated carbon filter system. But the jug does not filter the water that comes out of the tap, it only filters the water that you put in the jug. If you want your tap water to be filtered wherever you put it, this is not the best solution.

If you are looking…

If you want to filter the water from all the taps in your house, including those in the bathroom, it is best to install a global filtering system, but this installation will be more expensive and difficult to install and maintain.
