Conventional Water Filtration System
A sand water filter has different functions. It is a filter made out of sand that helps to get contaminants out of water (H2O), including sand itself and particles similar to it. They are composed of many levels of gravel and sand that ultimately become more fine. It is ironic that sand is one of the substances that the filter takes out of drinking sources. The technology employed to make these items is over one hundred years old, and the filters are more commonly used in less developed nations today.
If you buy from an overseas company then you risk not getting exactly what you want. The problem is that different countries have different regulations, they have different expectations and they have different standards or quality. By buying from an Australian company then you know that you are going to be dealing with people who are on the same playing field as you, people who understand your needs, people who speak your language, literally. Although it may be tempting to buy straight from China, the reality is that often the products are nowhere near as good, and they are often far less than they were promised. Trying to get a refund or redress any problem with a foreign company can be a nightmare too, not only is there the language barrier to overcome, there is the cultural barrier, the lack of international customer protections, the time barrier and the extra effort. All in most, if you have a problem with a foreign purchased piece of equipment, which is more than likely, you will run into serious problems trying to have it fixed. Buy from an Australian company, and you won't have to worry about any of this.
Most of the companies provide conventional water treatment systems as well as those using advanced technology. Water is purified by the sand filter, de-mineralizes, iron removal filter, activated carbon filter, ultra violet sterilizers, ultra filtration, electro deionization, nano filtration, reverse osmosis system etc. Conventional process also includes waste reuse process membrane bioreactors, emergency water supply and UV disinfection systems and RO cleaning contracts.
Point-of-use filters for home use include granular-activated carbon filters (GAC) used for carbon filtering, metallic alloy filters, microporous ceramic filters, carbon block resin (CBR), microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes. Some filters use more than one filtration method. An example of this is a multi-barrier system. Jug filters can be used for small quantities of drinking water. Some kettles have built-in filters, primarily to reduce limescale buildup.
An inline refrigerator water filter may be the solution to providing clean and healthy drinking water for your family. They filter out hundreds of different contaminants and provide you with clean water for drinking or ice making. Crystal Quest fridge water filters contains 4 to 6 stages of filtration to remove many kinds of contaminants. These include carbon, KDF, ion exchange resin and 1 micron filter pads to remove the contaminants that may be found in tap water. Besides filtering these out of your drinking water, the ice produced by the refrigerator unit will use this water, too. It is just as important to have clean ice as it is to have clean water, but this is an often overlooked fact when families are comparing water filter choices.
