When selecting a water filter for your home, consider the following factors:
1. Contaminants: Identify the contaminants present in your tap water by checking local water quality reports or using a home testing kit. 2. Type of Filter: Choose a filter that effectively removes the identified contaminants. For example, reverse osmosis systems are highly effective but may be more expensive and require professional installation. 3. Certification: Ensure the filter is certified by a reputable organization. 4. Maintenance: Consider the ease of maintenance and the cost of replacement filters.
