What About Filtered Drinking Water?

For many years now we at Water Value Company have maintained that the best way to treat your drinking water is through some type of near purification method such as reverse osmosis (RO) or distillation. Most common sediment or carbon filters cannot remove all of the nasty elements in our drinking water. The only drawbacks to RO or distillation are the cost, the setup and the maintenance. While still quite inexpensive at $168 delivered, most of the people that opt out of using an RO take advantage of the easy availability of bottled water. Even though the investment in effort of a few quick connections can provide better than bottled water results right out of your kitchen's sink, many do not feel up to the task of installing a filtration or purification system themselves. Now, thanks to a new product by Nelsen Corp., connecting a filter system to your kitchen sink just got a whole lot easier.

The Counter-Top filtration system by Nelsen is even easier to use and connect than most off-the-shelf faucet filter devices made and distributed by national companies. This device compares with the popular pitcher style water filters and the faucet attached devices for ease of use and effectiveness, but that's where the similarities end. This counter-top filter canister is often less expensive than the pitchers or faucet mount filters and best of all, it accepts any standard sized 9-3/4 inch filter cartridge available just about anywhere. The replacement filters for the national name-brand pitchers and faucet attachments run anywhere from $22 to $34 where a typical 5-micron sediment filter for the Nelsen counter-top filter costs as little as $5 at the local supermarket. It is also important to consider that the surface area of a standard 5-micron sediment filter or activated carbon filter is considerably more than the typical pitcher or faucet filter meaning each standard cartridge filter will treat more water at higher flow rates and last much longer.

The Counter-Top drinking water filter kit does not need installation instructions. Simply attach the included diverter valve to your sink's faucet, run the included water line over to the filter canister and you're ready to do. There's even a mounting screw option included if you so desire. This has got to be the easiest and least expensive method of filtering out sediment, sand, chlorine, taste & odor or other contaminants in your drinking water.

You choose what type of filter you want to use depending on what contaminants are in your water. Want to remove chlorine, sodium, odor or reduce lead and improve your water's flavor? Use an activated carbon filter cartridge. Do you have sediment or turbidity in your water? Use a 5 or even 1 micron sediment filter. There are all types of filters available for all types of water treatment in the standard 9-3/4 inch size. There are even reusable filters! Get your filters from us in bulk over at our cartridge filter page and save a lot of money over single filter purchases, or simply pick one up at the local hardware/plumbing/supermarket store.
