Do Water Filters Remove All Chemicals

When looking for water filtration systems people often ask us, ‘do water filters remove all chemicals?’. The short answer is no, water filters don’t remove all chemicals but can significantly reduce the amount of chlorine and organic chemicals in your water. As an award-winning designer and manufacturer of world-class water filtration products, Billi have the premium filters to reduce the amount of chemicals in your water.

 

What Do Water Filters Filter Out?

When considering what do water filters remove, the type of filter will inform the answer. Conventional carbon filters are made of granules and often held together with a resin – which can decrease the surface area and therefore the quality of filtration. By contrast premium filters utilise activated carbon fibre with minimal bonding. They apply technologies like BWT’s Fibron X® media which has a superior contaminant reduction performance and capacity, and is therefore likely to remove more.

 

What Does a Water Filter Remove from Tap Water?

Billi’s premium water filters can reduce chemicals (reducing chlorine and organic chemicals), all while allowing minerals to flow through the appliance without scale or build-up.

In addition, our 0.2 micron filters can reduce:

  • parasitic cysts giardia
  • cryptosporidium and;
  • heavy metals.

 

How Do Water Filters Remove Chemicals?

Billi’s premium range of filters provides superior water quality, consistent filter life and peace of mind through a number of processes.

Firstly, we provide premium filters that utilise activated carbon fibre with graded density profiles. These differ from conventional carbon filters because they have minimal bonding agents and superior contaminant reduction performance and capacity. By contrast while a conventional water filter does remove chemicals it’s held together with a resin, which decreases the surface area and in turn the quality and amount of filtration.

Secondly, because instant filtered drinking water systems require regular maintenance and filter replacements to ensure optimal water quality and an ongoing level of performance, we offer three different customer care plans – from DIY through to fully serviced.

 

 

Other Considerations for Water Filtration Systems

One should not only ask, ‘do water filters remove all chemicals?’ but also, ‘how do filtration systems help to improve our environment?’. Billi’s Eco and Quadra systems also hold eco-credentials in the form of GreenTag certification. As such these systems can not only remove chemicals through their filtration, but they also remove the need for plastic bottles, are highly energy efficient, and can reduce your carbon footprint.
