These come in powdered or granulated form which allows water to flow around rather than through the carbon. Referred to as taste and odor filters because of the limited contact time the water has with the carbon. Can promote the growth of bacteria. Ceramic filters use a process whereby water is forced through the pores of the ceramic filtration media, providing mechanical filtration only. Ceramic filters cannot reduce VOCs, endocrine disrupters, trihalomethanes, mercury or lead.
Water is heated to boiling and turns to vapor, leaving behind contaminants.
The water vapor enters a condenser where it is cooled and returned to a liquid state, ready for use. Distillation reduces heavy metals, but through the same process also removes beneficial minerals. Removes dissolved minerals and trace elements essential to good health. Daily chore to provide enough water for the entire family. Reverse Osmosis is a process that forces, by the application of pressure, the water to pass through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects contaminants suspended in the water.
