Gravity water filter
Having clean drinking water should be the single most important priority for any family. Having a pure source of water supply ensures that your family stays clean from diseases and water borne contaminants. Most of the water filters nowadays do a pretty good job of removing all the contaminants from water but the ideal one should be that one which filters out microbes plus heavy metals. Most of the over counter water filters use multiple filtration processes. Electric, UV ray and basic filtration. Many filters also use a pure fiber filtration method such as the This one.
Using fiber based filter have their own distinctive advantages such as the taste of water. Many people complain that electric water purifiers have an artificial taste and some of them do use bromide filters. Which again adds to bromide to water. The important thing here is to get a water filter that doesn’t remove the taste but at the same time removes chlorine and microbes from water. Candle based water filters do the same thing. The filtration process is the same process as used by roman’s ie gravity based filtration. Some of the advantage of gravity based water filters are
1. Retains the natural taste of water
2. Needs no electricity
3. Efficient and high portability
4. Economical
Many aid agencies across the world use gravity based water filters. The American red cross, united nations and hurricane aid agencies use the very same gravity based water filters. The main advantages of using these filters is very obvious, Low cost, zero maintenance and of course portability.
