Can't Decide on Your Under-Sink Water Filtration System?

When it comes to ensuring you and your family enjoy clean, healthy water in your home, an under-sink water filtration system is the go to system for many for a variety of reasons. In this blog, we'll guide you through the basics so you can make an informed decision to meet your needs.

1. Understanding Under-Sink Water Filters
An under-sink water filtration system is a compact filtration system that is conveniently installed beneath your kitchen sink, providing immediate access to purified water for cooking and drinking. Its discreet design ensures optimal use of space.
2. Who Benefits from Under-Sink Water Filters?
Under-sink water filtration systems are perfect for those who prioritize simplicity and space efficiency. Though many of our models are astethically pleasing, their under-the-sink design allows for consumers to save counterspace and avoid overcrowding their countertops. They are also great for those who are environmentally conscious as they provide the same quality drinking water as bottled water without the waste of single use plastic water bottles.

3. Varieties of Under Sink Water Filters

• Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems like PureDrop’s RTW5 series use a semi-permeable membrane to remove up to 99% of common water contaminants, including arsenic, TDS, chlorine, lead, and heavy metals, ensuring a high level of purification. These RO systems are ideal for those wanting the purest water possible.
• Ultrafiltration systems like PureDrop’s CUW4 use a fine membrane to block up to 99% of most problematic pollutants, including chlorine and chlorine treatment by-products, lead, and arsenic, providing effective filtration without removing essential minerals. These ultrafiltration systems are perfect for those who want balanced and purified water.
• Carbon Water filters like PureDrop’s UC15 Series use activated carbon to absorb impurities, improving taste and odor. Carbon water filters are ideal for those concerned about the overall quality and flavor of their water.

4. Why should you install an under-sink water filter?
An under-sink water filtration system is a convenient solution, providing direct access to purified water. Say goodbye to impurities, and enjoy the benefits of clean water for cooking and drinking. It's an eco-friendly choice that reduces plastic waste from bottled water.

5. Selecting an Under-Sink Water Filtration Unit

• Water Quality Analysis: Begin by understanding your water source. If it's high in contaminants, a reverse osmosis system might be the best fit.
• Space Considerations: Evaluate the space available under your sink. Smaller kitchens might benefit from compact systems like carbon water filters.
• Maintenance Needs: Consider the maintenance requirements of each system. Some may need more frequent filter changes than others.

6. Under-sink water filter installation and maintenance
Installing an under-sink water filter is a simple DIY task that takes less than an hour for most and only requires a few quick connections.
Regular maintenance involves periodic filter replacements, to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency. Remember, timely filter changes are crucial to guaranteeing a continuous supply of pure water for your household. Don't forget to mark your calendar and enjoy sustained water quality! The majority of our under-the-sink systems are designed to make filter replacement a breeze with an easy twist and lock filter housing that takes less than 60 seconds to complete.
By assessing water quality, available space, and maintenance preferences, you can pinpoint the under-sink system that best suits your needs. Whether you prefer the thorough purification of reverse osmosis, the balance of ultrafiltration, or the taste enhancement of carbon filters, making an informed choice ensures a continuous supply of clean and refreshing water for your household.
