Ultraviolet Light

A relative newcomer to the scene, ultraviolet (UV) water purification does what reverse osmosis does not – that is, it kills germs, preventing the transmission of viruses and bacteria. While it is true that municipal water undergoes chlorine treatment before being transferred to your home, UV picks up where chlorine leaves off, removing 99.9% of the microorganisms that chlorine fails to kill. However, it is important to remember that UV does nothing to remove other types of water contaminants, so many plumbing experts suggest that this technology works best in addition to your water softener and RO systems. UV should be used as a supplementary line of defense.

Activated Charcoal

Especially common in drinking water systems, carbon-based filters capitalize on a special characteristic of charcoal. Many common organic impurities naturally bind to its craggy surface. The catch? In its natural state, charcoal does not have enough surface area to deliver adequate filtering capacity. Once “activated” by an oxygen treatment, though, charcoal gains countless tiny pores, each one of which becomes a bonding site ready to capture contaminants. Activated charcoal may not be quite as effective as reverse osmosis, but if you are concerned primarily with the taste and aesthetics of household drinking water, this could be the option that works best for you.
