TOP-10 + the best water filters for washing 2019

The quality of tap water leaves much to be desired, therefore it is undesirable to eat it, it must be subjected to additional purification. Water coming from the tap often has an extraneous taste and smell - this can greatly ruin the dish, and drinking it can be completely disgusting. Largely for this reason, many people install special filters under the sink, eliminating additional impurities from the water that spoil its quality.

They remove harmful substances from the water, including heavy metals, chlorine, large impurities such as squeak. These designs are installed directly in the kitchen sink, due to which clean water will be obtained instantly, in contrast to the jug type filters.

What are the criteria for choosing a flow filter for washing?

Before deciding on the purchase of a filter element, it is necessary to find out the chemical composition of the water flowing from the tap. Due to this, it will be possible to select products that will purify water very effectively. For example, if tap water is too hard, a filter equipped with a membrane is best suited - the so-called reverse osmosis, which is quite expensive. Hard water should be cleaned if people with kidney diseases live in the apartment. For less hard water, an ion exchange filter will be sufficient.

When purchasing a filter for washing, in addition to cost, you should pay attention to a number of other components - cleaning technology and whether it has a softener:

• Membrane filtration is able to completely clean tap water from bacteria and viruses. Only clean water will be filtered through such a filter, devoid of any impurities. However, there is a certain minus - useful minerals are removed along with bacteria, so such water will not bring any harm or benefit. Installing a filter with a built-in mineralizer can cope with this problem;
• To clean hard water from heavy metals in budget filtering systems, only ion exchange is used. It will purify water quite acceptable, although not as subtly as reverse osmosis.

A water softener is one of the most useful functions, which reduces the proportion of calcium and magnesium salts, respectively, this will reduce the formation of scale in the kettle. Another important addition will be coal filtration, which contributes to the absorption of chlorine, phenol, benzene, toluene, various kinds of petroleum products and pesticides that may be contained in water. Such a function is quite simple and is even in the cheapest designs.

We tried to make the most detailed rating of filters for flowing water, and we were based not only on the recommendations of experts, but also on popularity according to user reviews. A very important role in the formation of our top-10 rating was played by the price-quality ratio of products. We hope that the review will be quite useful.
