A pitcher filter cartridge helps to filter out chlorine, mercury and lead that may exist in tap water. More and more families getting to use pitcher filter cartridges as they become aware of harmful substances that may exist in tap water they thought should be clear and clean before.
How Does A Pitcher Filter Cartridge Work?
First, users need to pour regular tap water into the pitcher (also named as water jug somewhere). Then, the regular tap water flow into the inner pitcher filter cartridge, contact with inner activated carbon and resin closely. After that, carbon adsorb chlorine as well as smells, resin beads in pitcher filter cartridge attract calcium and magnesium ions which leads to water scale. Finally, residual chlorine and hardness causing ions will be collected and filtered out. The whole process generates cleaner and healthier water than unfiltered regular tap water.
Pros of Pitcher Filter Cartridges
1. Pitcher filter cartridge purifies tap water well by filtering out some toxic elemetns includes arsenic, mercury and lead.
2. In rural areas, many people just take underground well water as daily water source without any pre filtration. Well water could be easily polluted by herbicides and pesticides. Once the pollution accumulates to a large amount, it will bring a severe impact on the health of both adults and children. That makes pitcher filter cartridges a good choice for people live in rural areas.
3. Using a pitcher filter cartridge to filter water cost much less than boiling water for drinking. Most water pitchers filter a large amount of water over time to create a purified storage which can be used anywhere after the filtration.
