If we consider the technological advancements of our society and the major role that health institutions play in our lives, we assume that most of the world should at least benefit from pure tap water, especially countries as developed as the USA. However, despite the fact that municipal water treatment facilities are carefully monitored, the water that reaches most homes is far from being potable. This happens due to the fact that a lot of major cities still use water pipes which were installed almost 100 years ago. As a result, it is essential to avoid drinking tap water as much as possible. In order to protect their health, most people turn to bottled water which is indeed healthier. However, such a solution can cost you a lot of money, and the environmental impact is pretty powerful. Filtered water is almost 15 times cheaper than bottled water. Furthermore, even if you were to recycle all used plastic bottles, you would only decrease the environmental impact by 10%, as most of the global warming impact is caused by transportation and manufacturing processes. Given these facts, in order to protect their health and the environment, all people should turn to water filtration systems. However, choosing a water filter can be quite troublesome since there are so many choices on the market. How can a person know which brand is better and which filter is most suited for their needs? In order to ease this decision, today we will present you with PUR faucet water filters.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE SYSTEMS
When buying a water filter, the first thing that you must consider is the number and type of contaminants the filter will trap. PUR faucet water filters are NSF certified and they are designed to trap up to 61 water contaminants. Furthermore, the PUR filters are also endorsed by the American Dental Association due to the fact that they don’t filter fluoride which can be very useful in preventing cavities. When buying their first water filter, a lot of people are concerned about the installation process and the maintenance tasks and costs. The faucet mount systems used by the PUR filers are designed in order to fit most filters, except for pull-out filters. Furthermore, these devices are very easy to use. They even feature an ON/OFF switch, so that you can switch from normal tap water to filtered water, according to your needs. The filters are easy to replace: all you have to do is twist the top cover, take out the old filter and replace it with the new one. Last but not least, avoid running hot water through the filters (as this will decrease the filter’s effectiveness), and remember to run the filter for five minutes through cold water after the replacement. Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s take a look at the best PUR water faucet filtration systems.
