What are water filters?

Water filters are devices that can improve the overall taste, smell and appearance of drinking water and can remove some chemical substances. Used mainly for drinking and cooking purposes, filters are the most inexpensive and most easily available method of water purification. However, purification using filters is not 100 per cent.

In general, water filters remove only specific types of substances and are labeled for what they will remove, such as chlorine or lead. Water filters do not remove microorganisms; and, are intended for use with water that is known to be microbiologically safe. No single water filter can be used to remove all types of substances from water.
