DEFINITION: Water filtering is a method used to filter out undesired chemical compounds, organic and inorganic materials, and biological contaminants from water. The purpose of water filtration is to provide clean drinking water. There are three methods of water purification: reverse osmosis (RO), distillation, and ultraviolet (UV).
A water filter is a device where water flows through a barrier, trapping the contaminants or particles, but allowing the water to pass. Water filtration typically uses a filtration media or a filter cartridge to reduce specific impurities in a water supply, but sometimes, the media will add something that’s lacking in the water. Water filters can come in many forms: under-the-sink, refrigerator, countertop, faucet-mount, in-line or whole-house models. Many water filters use filtration media, like activated carbon, to filter the water. The media traps unwanted particles, tastes and odors or other contaminants before the water reaches its final destination.
