So far, we’ve discussed many water pollutants and how they can be removed from water including chlorine, VOCs, lead, fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, and many more. But there’s one pollutant that’s becoming equally troublesome — microplastics.

Where do microplastics come from? Some of the microplastics we find in nature come from cosmetic products, other microplastics are the direct result of plastic pollution, namely it’s plastic that breaks down into smaller pieces when exposed to the elements. 

Do microplastics end up in water? Yes, unfortunately, they do, which raises the question of whether we can remove microplastics from water with the help of water filters.

In this article, we examine the extent of plastic pollution, the potential health impact of microplastics, and if microplastics can be removed from water.

It’s hard to gauge the effectiveness of a water filter based on pricing alone. It’s also difficult to tell if a more expensive filter is always better than a less expensive one.

Our customers often ask us whether they should buy a more expensive water filter instead of a moderately priced filter. Or will the cheapest filter do just fine?

In our experience, pricing shouldn’t be the first thing to consider when choosing a water filter system for your home or business. 

Instead, what we advise our customers is to focus on the filtration technology or technologies offered by the filter system in question.

In this article, we examine how filtration technologies used in a filter system are the most telling of quality and how some of these technologies do indeed shape the price of a filter system.

Aging infrastructure coupled with an increase in population and water contamination issues require innovative water treatment solutions that don’t compromise the safety of your water and ensure highly potable water in the comfort of your home.

Ultraviolet water filters are one such water treatment solution that’s safe, both for consumers and the environment, and can be used with ease by consumers at home. These water treatment units are easy to operate, have low running costs, and they’re suitable for at-home water filtration and commercial use as well.

But how do UV water sanitisers work? And are UV system a worthwhile investment? This article will focus on topics that concern the efficiency, usability, and the advantages and disadvantages of UV water sanitising systems.
