Why is a central carbon filter a better solution than water filter pitchers?
The quality of drinking water is crucial for our health and overall comfort. Unfortunately, the water coming from household taps does not always fully meet our expectations. Sometimes, its taste may be unsatisfactory, which can effectively discourage consumption. To address this issue while avoiding the purchase of water in non-eco-friendly plastic bottles, many households use various water purification methods. One common solution for improving drinking water quality is the use of water filter pitchers. Although these pitchers have their advantages, they do not surpass the benefits offered by a central carbon filter.
What is a central carbon filter?
A central carbon filter is a standalone water purification device. It is installed at the main water supply connection, removing impurities and improving the taste and smell of water throughout the entire house. This ensures that properly filtered, tasty, and clean water reaches all points of use and can be consumed directly from the tap.
5 reasons to consider investing in a central carbon filter
1. Filtration effectiveness
Central carbon filters are designed to effectively remove a wide range of contaminants, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that may affect the taste and smell of water. With a larger amount of activated carbon and advanced technology, they operate economically and efficiently.
2. Efficiency
One of the greatest advantages of central carbon filters is their ability to treat large amounts of water. Filter jugs have a specific capacity that allows you to filter approximately 2 liters of di legno at a time. After consuming it, it is necessary to refill the water in the jug. L’installazione del filtro centrale è sulla luce dell’acqua, which means that all water used in the household – whether for drinking, cooking or bathing – is filtered. Unlike filter jugs, the central device does not require filling with water or replacing filters every few weeks.
3. Long-term costs
Although the initial cost of a central carbon filter is higher than that of a water filter pitcher, it is a very economical solution in the long term. A central carbon filter, such as the EcoWater CWFS, offers savings on consumables because it is regenerated using only water. It does not require any chemicals or replaceable cartridges. The regeneration process is fully automatic—no need to add or refill anything. The device automatically draws water every few days or weeks to regenerate the medium, which can last up to 10 years. In contrast, filter pitchers require the purchase of replacement filters, which are usable for only one month after opening, regardless of the amount of filtered water.
4. High water quality throughout the entire house
Investing in a central carbon filter means improving water quality throughout the entire house, not just for drinking. Filtered water flows to all taps, including those in bathrooms. This means that during bathing, our skin is not exposed to dryness and irritation caused by chlorine.
5. User convenience
With water filter pitchers, the filtration process takes as long as it takes for water to flow through the filter, which can take several minutes. By using a central carbon filter, tasty and clean water is available immediately upon turning on the tap. Additionally, before the first use of each replacement filter in a pitcher, it is recommended to filter water twice to remove air and any particles of activated carbon that may come out of the filter.
The EcoWater central carbon filter is an investment that offers numerous benefits in terms of water quality, user convenience, and financial savings. While water filter pitchers may be a good short-term solution, central carbon filters provide better effectiveness, higher efficiency, and more comprehensive water treatment throughout the entire house.
