I put together a simple visual guide breaking down the most common types of water filtration systems and what they actually do.
It covers:
- Sediment filters (for dirt, rust, particles)
- Carbon filters (for chlorine, odor, taste)
- Reverse osmosis (for dissolved contaminants)
- UV filtration (for bacteria & viruses)
- Water softeners (for hard water issues)
I noticed a lot of people (including me before) get confused about which system solves what problem, so this is meant to make it easier to understand at a glance.
Would love to hear:
- What system are you currently using?
- What worked best for your water quality?
