There are so many unhealthy substances in our water brought about by industrialization and pollution that the water treatment centers are forced to combat them by inputting chlorine to kill all the bacteria and other harmful things.



Unfortunately, while chlorine does solve this immediate problem, it also introduces more trihalomethanes (THMs), which have been linked to quite a few different kinds of ailments. It's these that most purifiers look to solve.

Of course, the ideal solution to all this would be to clean up pollution, which is certainly an ongoing global effort. Also, currently more effective ways of disinfecting water without the negative side effects of chlorine are being experimented with.

However, for now chlorine is the method being used in most locations, and why getting a water purifier is so necessary. Obviously, if you've been looking for a water purifier for any length of time, you've come across the name Pur, as this one is one of the most known in the industry.

Even though they are popular, of course, this doesn't necessarily make them the best. It could just be that the company advertiser the most, or has the best ads, so how do their systems really stack up with the competition?

One of the things about PUR Water Filters is there are a number of models available, so it's hard to just give a blanket review of all of them at once. One of the more popular systems they offer is the faucet mounted filter, and this is very simple to install, and you can get it in twelve different design packages.

The horizontal faucet filter, in particular, is a very popular one, and this one comes equipped with a three stage filtration system. This is the technologically soundest among the pur models, as far as purifying the water goes.

It's able to purify as much as one hundred gallons of H20 before it needs replacing, certainly a long lasting and durable model. This will last you two o three months, in most cases, depending on how many people live in your household. If you are in the market for an easy to install system, this is one you might consider.

Pitcher water filters are certainly very popular today as well, and PUR makes these as well. You can get them in four different designs, and it uses two stages to filter the water. This is able to get the vast majority of substances in your water (almost no purifier except distillation ones get 100%)

The pitcher purifier is commonly referred to as one of the best on the market among pitcher purifiers, and is very effective at removing the important elements in water that needs to be taken out.

These include things such as lead, chlorine, benzene, and also well over ninety nine percent of cysts. These are a couple of the PUR Water Filter models, but by no means all of them.
