Have You Overlooked This When Buying a Drinking Water Purification System?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Foremski]Peter Foremski

When most people decide to get a drinking water purification system they go out to the local department store and buy which ever system looks best. The fact is, there is much more to it than just that.

Not all systems are created equal. Before you go out and spend your money make sure you know what you are looking for so you don't waste your money.

Why do so many people buy high quality systems? The answer to that question is simple, they have done their research and they know that the average store bought system does not make the grade. Most store bought ones leave a lot to be desired as far as the experts are concerned.

So, what should you look for when you are shopping for one? First and foremost, you want to look for systems that filters out chemical and organic contaminants. Look for a list on the product description or label to determine what the system filters out. A good system should remove chlorine, lead, prescription drugs, pharmaceuticals, VOCs, MTBE and chlorine resistant cysts. If the drinking water purification system you are considering does not list these items move on to the next product.

Another important feature to look for besides what it takes out is what it leaves behind. Many products remove the healthy minerals that are naturally occurring in water. Trace minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and sodium among others are found naturally. These minerals are essential to human health so you want to make sure that you buy a system that leaves behind these healthy minerals. Additionally when you remove these minerals drinking water is left flat and tasteless.

What kind of product does all of this? The best way to ensure that you are getting a purified supply filled with healthy trace minerals is to buy a multiphase water filtration system. These systems use a combination of purification methods to carefully clean the water without removing the healthy minerals.

Without getting too technical and blinding you with science most of them use a combination of carbon filtration, ion exchange and sub micron filtering. These processes leave your water healthy, clean and tasting great!
