There is a lot of hype and doubtful claims about water filters in the media. It's hard for the average consumer to understand the different methods and types of water filtration systems without buying into all the sales talk. Water filtration or treatment in itself is a quite a large topic with many methods and technologies involved. Most household water filters/treatment systems are designed to remove various contaminants such as chlorine, lead, mercury, Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), Total Dissolved Solids (TDSs), Cryptosporidium, Chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, Giardia and other bad smell or taste elements.

Most water filters work on the same general process. Water is passed through a filtration agent (physical, chemical or ultra-violet) where contaminants are either removed or neutralized. The treated water is then either dispensed out of the system or is stored in a storage tank for future use. Generally, most water filters are fairly simple and inexpensive items that aren't very different from one manufacturer to the next. Below is a list of features and functions which you should consider before buying a water filtration system.
1). Filtering Technology

The first and most common sort of filter uses a physical barrier to remove suspended particles such as mud, silt, sand or rust as well as micro-organisms such as Giardia or Cryptosporidium. Physical filters are measured by microns. The finer the filter the smaller the micron number and the more types of particles can be removed from the raw water.
Another type of filter uses chemical processes to remove or neutralize potentially harmful contaminants in raw water. Depending on the type of contaminant, the filter elements can comprise of activated charcoal, copper, zinc etc.
The newest form of filtration technology is to use ultra-violet light to destroy bacteria, viruses or pathogens in water. The ultra-violet light is typically encased in a tank where-by the water is treated either when in storage or is run through a ultra-violet canister. The ultra-violet light deactivated the DNA of the organic particulates which ruin their ability to reproduce and cause disease.
Typically, a water filtration system will contain more than one type of filter because each filter has its own specific strengths and together enable a much wider spectrum of filtration.
2). System Types

There are a few basic types of water filters that range from small portable units to units that can supply an entire house or office. Here are the more common types:
Counter-top: These types of filters are placed on top as of the counter as suggested by the name and is connected to the faucet. The system normally has limited capacity while the filtered water is only available at the faucet.
Under-counter: These systems are very similar to the counter-top systems in that they have smaller capacities and only provide treated water to one faucet. The difference is that these systems don't take up valuable counter space however would require more sophisticated plumbing which makes it slightly more expensive.
Faucet Mounted: These systems are the cheapest and easies to install however offer the least amount of filtration. The system is mounted on the faucet itself and offers treated water to that faucet alone.
Whole House: These water filter systems are typically the most comprehensive and costly filter types that will be needed for a house or office. These systems attach to the pipe mains before entering the house/office which means that they will supply treated water to the entire house/office. These water filters are generally quite expensive to buy and maintain however all water in the house is treated.
Water Softeners: These types of water filters are used specifically to remove only some types of contaminants, namely unwanted elements such as calcium, magnesium, lime, and iron from a household's water supply. These elements make water taste metallic and salty.
Dispensers/Pitcher Water Filter: These systems are normally very simple filter assemblies that are built into a Pitcher/Dispenser. Again, this type of filter is very simple and cheap however doesn't filter contaminants all that well compared to the more comprehensive examples.
Portable: These water filters are made to be portable, some are designed for camping and light travel while some are built into sports drink bottles. Interestingly, an ultra-violet light pen is available which should act as a microbe de-activator similar to more complex household systems as mentioned earlier.
3). Capacity

There are generally two measurements for water filters that use "capacity". Capacity can be used as a measure to determine how much water the filter can actually treat before it needs filter replacements.
On the other hand, capacity is also a measure of the storage tank if the water treatment system is built with a storage tank. This goes hand-in-hand with the flow rate. This measurement is normally in gallons per minute. It should be noted that for counter-top or under-sink applications, flow rate isn't that important as waiting a few seconds longer to fill a glass of water won't be much of an issue. However, flow-rate is very important for Whole House systems, you won't want to be stuck in the shower with no water.
It should be noted that capacity and flow rates are directly related to how expensive the system will be.
4). Costs

When choosing to buy a water filter, you must also consider the maintenance and running costs of the filter. Generally the more complex and higher capacity systems will cost more to maintain and also more to run. Depending on the amount of water treated, water filter systems will need their filters replaced or treated every so often.
Additionally, some complex filters like Reverse Osmosis water filters will only produce 1 gallon of water for every 4 gallons of water supplied which will mean an increase in your water bills too. Further to this, ultra-violet light systems will also require a power source which will also affect your electricity bills.
In conclusion, I hope I have shed some light on buying water filters. The list of points in this article are by no means exhaustive but should serve as a rough guide in the selection process.

The vendors who carry whole house water filter replacement cartridges cater to those customers who have a whole house water filter system. What is a whole house water filter system? It is a filter system that connects to the main water line going into a home. The typical connection comes before the point where the line splits, sending part of the line to the hot water heater.

When a homeowner has a whole house water filter system then all the residents of the home can enjoy access to filtered water in the kitchen, the laundry and the bathroom. Of course that access remains a benefit of residence in the same home only one overriding condition-the homeowner takes the time to get whole house water filter replacement cartridges.

As any homeowner thinks about investing in a whole house water filter system, he or she might have a few questions. Frequently homeowners ask this question: Can I use this filter to get pure water for the plants in my garden and the grass on my lawn?

The homeowner must examine the blueprint for the house, in order to obtain an answer to that question. The homeowner needs to learn where the city's main water line splits into a "house" line and a "yard" line. Of course, no garden or lawn can receive filtered water if a homeowner fails to purchase the needed whole house water filter replacement cartridges.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applauds homeowners who invest in a whole house filter system and also make the effort to get the necessary whole house water filter replacement cartridges. A survey done by the EPA in 2001 showed that 82,655 city water systems in the U.S. had unsafe drinking water.

Water safety experts at in the EPA know how the drinking of unsafe water can affect the health of those who remain unaware of the dangerous substances in that water. Sometimes water contains radioactive contaminants. When the residents of a home drink water with those contaminants they increase the likelihood that they could develop cancer.

If city water contains antimony, and if that water enters a home unfiltered, then the residents of a home could have rising cholesterol levels or falling blood sugar levels. If city water contains arsenic, then it could cause the unsuspecting city residents who drink that water to have unexplained skin damage or circulatory problems.

If a city water system contains barium, then the physicians in that city might find that a number of patients have a rising blood pressure level. Were those same physicians to inquire about the use of water filters in the home, they could probably link those rising blood pressure levels to the absence of a whole house water filter.

Having emphasized the importance of a whole house water filter, this article needs to offer help to those who plan to purchase whole house water filter replacement cartridges. Those who go in search of such cartridges should know exactly what size they need. Cartridges have varied lengths. The most commonly used cartridges have lengths of 5 inches, 10 inches and 20 inches.

Those in search of whole house water filter replacement cartridges should also know that there are three basic types of filters. Some come with sediment prefilter; some have a high flow carbon filter. Homeowners can also buy a whole house filter with both sediment prefilter and a high flow carbon filter.

Any homeowner with a whole house water filter system should become familiar with the available sources for whole house water filter replacement cartridges. Only the regular replacement of such cartridges can insure the purity and the good taste of water in a home. Only needed replacement cartridges can guarantee the functionality of carbon filters with an ion exchange and of micron filtration.

The homeowner who has purchased a whole house water filter system has made a safe choice. The homeowner who, in addition, regularly takes the time to get whole house water filter replacement cartridges has made the safest choice.

Chlorine Shower Filter Protecting Your Skin From Harmful Chemicals

When moving into a new or different house people very seldom check the showers to see if there is a shower water filter. They assume that, as long as everything is working, there is no cause for concern. This is in error. One of the first things that should be attended to is a filter for every shower in the home.

Chlorine, a chemical commonly used in public water systems and swimming pools, is a very strong disinfecting chemical. It is not only used for this purpose but also for making very strong solvents used in disinfectants, dry cleaning, metal degreasing and other processes that require an extra strong bleach agent. It is actually a form of toxic gas that can cause many health problems including irritating the respiratory system if a person is accidentally exposed in certain situations.

Although Chlorine is added, in a very measured amount, to the water supply it flows through the entire house, including the shower. Contact between this chemical and the human body has shown to cause problems and should be avoided whenever possible. Since the most water contact occurs in a shower, shower filters are an excellent way to prevent this unwanted exposure.

As a very strong chemical chlorine can change other materials present in the water to an unnatural state. This changes the chemical makeup of the water and can cause problems from these other materials as well. These problems occur not just in the drinking water but also in the shower itself. The body is more exposed to chemicals while bathing than it is in actually drinking the water.

At the end of along hard day there is nothing more satisfying than standing for quite some time in a hot shower. It is comforting and relaxing. What is not realized is that one is breathing in vapor (steam) which is loaded with Chlorine. This chemical is entering the nose, lungs, throat and pores of the skin. This penetrates the body on all fronts and can lead to headaches and other health problems.

Complaints regarding showering with Chlorine in the water include dry and brittle hair, change of dyed hair color, dry finger nails and skin. The 'bleach' in Chlorine removes the natural body oils which keep these parts of the body in tip top condition. This causes the hair to break easily, cause flaking skin and broken fingernails.

There are a number of different types of shower filters. More commonly they are an activated carbon filter, a carbon resin or filtration membranes. Some companies combine two of these types into one filter. They are designed to allow the water to flow naturally but at the same time remove the impurities. This allows the person taking the shower to still have the strong flow of water without the impurities.

Placing a filter in the shower head is relatively easy and can be done by the average homeowner. When these filters wear out they are very easily replaced. Replacement of a water shower filter should be as often as one changes the batteries in their smoke alarm system. Both are essential for safety of all family members.

Basic Guide To Swimming Pool Filters

One item that every swimming pool must have is a pool filter. A swimming pool filter is the main process that keeps your swimming pool clean of the various debris that are brought in by wind, rain, cleaning supplies, toys, and swimmers. A pool filter works to keep the water clear and promotes safety and health while in the water. The pool filter has three main components that allow it to keep your water clear and safe for swimmers. First, there is a motor and pump that work to bring the water in and push it out during filtration. Then the filter itself falls into three categories DE (Diatomaceous Earth), cartridge and sand.

A DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filter is probably the best for filtering even the minutest particles that could be in the water. Diatomaceous Earth is a natural substance that is found in the soil. It has the consistency of a fine, white powder. A filter made of Diatomaceous Earth comes in two different types of filters, a spin filter and a vertical grid filter. These two terms simply signify how the filter is set up. The spin filter does not work as well as the vertical and is virtually obsolete today.

A sand filter makes use of sand to filter the water of particles and allows filtered water to run through easily. The cartridge filter works in the same manner as a Diatomaceous Earth filter but without the use of any substance other than fabric mesh to filter the water.

Here are a few things you should consider before purchasing a swimming pool filter:

First, find the volume of the entire swimming pool. To find the volume you must consider the shape of your pool:

If your pool is rectangular - Multiply the following - Length, width, average depth

If your pool is circular - Multiply the following- Radius, 3.14, average depth

Next, figure the capacity of your pool. This will allow you to calculate how much water your swimming pool holds. This is an important factor in purchasing a pool filter. To find the capacity, multiply the volume (you found in step one) by 7.48.

You will then have to determine the type of filter you want. Consider if your pool would benefit from a cartridge, DE, or sand filter. You should also consider if you want the filter to be vacuum or pressure. It is suggested that you should make the filter slightly larger than your initial calculation to allow for better filtration.

There are a lot of different aspects that must be taken into consideration when purchasing a swimming pool filter. For the entire filtration system you can expect to pay anywhere from $20.00(USD) to $300.00 (USD). Replacement filters are slightly cheaper in some aspects, depending on the type of filter your system uses, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4.00 (USD) to $200.00 (USD).

It is important that you follow all recommended procedures outlined by the swimming pool manufacturer. This will help you in maintaining clear and healthy pool water that can be enjoyed by all swimmers.

Steripen Water Purifier

Are you aware of the huge amount of dust and bacteria that you breathe and drink? Having a purifier in the house has become a necessity. There are various types of purifiers depending on the material you want to purify. Some of the common ones are the air purifier and water purifier.

Various environmental researches claim that the air inside the home is dirtier than the air outside. Thus an air purifier has become an essential commodity to keep your house clean. Air purifier helps to clean dust particles, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, harmful smoke particles, airborne gases and other allergens.

Various techniques like mechanical filters, absorbents like charcoal, electrostatic charges, ionizers are used as purifiers. The HEPA filters make use of the powerful filters to catch harmful pollens, bacteria, allergens and other pollutants. The ozone air purifier emits ozone in the air, thus attracting harmful substances and making them harmless. The ionic purifier gives negative ions in the air, attracting bacteria, viruses, and dust mites. These particles fall to the floor when they become heavy, and are vacuumed up.

Several factors like visual appeal, noise level, and frequency of filter replacement are important facts that can influence a customer while purchasing an air purifier. The HEPA filters are capable of purifying 99.7% allergens in the air. They serve best for those people suffering from asthma and other respiratory disorders.

Water purifier removes contaminants from raw water, making it suitable for drinking. The various pollutants that can be found in water include bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi, minerals and other man made chemical pollutants. The water purifier makes use of several techniques like filtration, distillation, screening, storage, coagulation and flocculation, disinfection, and sedimentation. Water purifiers can use other methods like carbon filtration, boiling, distillation reverse osmosis, ion exchange, electrode ionization, water conditioning and plumbo-solvency reduction.

It is always possible to carry water purifiers to where ever you travel. Drinking water from restaurants can be safe if you use the SteriPEN water purifier. All you need to do is stir the glass of water with the unit. With the help of UV light, it kills all bacteria, thus making the water clean and safe for drinking.

Drinking Water Filters

There is no drinking water filter system that can be called the number one product. There are several filter systems produced by several manufacturers, but the best water filter system is the one that suits your needs the best. There are a few things to consider when looking for a drinking water filter. The first and most obvious reason to get a water filter is that you get pure clean water. The filters also eliminate any smell in the water. The water tastes different too if it is contaminated and the truth is that all the tap water is contaminated even though it goes through a filtration process. Some of the treatments used to purify the water are harmful for our organism, thus further filtering is needed if you want to drink tap water safely.

Each of the models has pros and cons. The water filter pitcher can produce a limited amount of filtered water, the top counter ones occupy space on the counter, and the under counter ones require a little bit of plumbing knowledge or even a plumber. In the process of filtering and purifying the water some of the models use more water than they actually filter while others use electricity. Thus you need to do a little bit of research in your household to see which one fits your needs better and which one turns to be more profitable for you. First of all you need to estimate how much water you need for drinking. Since the recommended amount is 2 liters a day per person, the drinking water usage might turn out to be relatively big in your household. It all depends on how many people you family consists of.

When choosing the filtering technology try to estimate how much your water bill will increase if you use water filter system that uses the reverse osmosis technology or how much your energy bill will increase if you use the ultraviolet technology. Also a good thing to keep in mind before purchasing a filtering system is to check how often you need to change or clean the filters and how much they cost. Often times the system is relatively cheap, but the replacement filters or cartridges are more expensive. Depending on the model you choose the filters from the water filter system have to be change monthly or every trimester or as needed. The advantage of a well known brand in the market is that it usually has filters available in most of the locations, thus changing the filters will not be an impossible thing to do, but rather an easy and pleasant one.

No matter which model or which technology you use in a drinking water filter system, you should be able to observe the differences immediately. Water should have no smell, the taste should be significantly improved and pleasant, the sediment should be removed and the bacteria too. The more filters a system has the better the quality of the water is. Thus water can pass through two, three or even eight filters before it gets in your glass. If you are still undecided which one to buy, you can always start with a carbon filtration system which offers very good quality for the price and does not have very high filter replacement costs.

A Guide to Water Filter Replacement Cartridges

Conclusion: Water filter replacement cartridges are a crucial part of any water filtration system. Water filter cartridges should be replaced regularly, preferably every 6-12 months, depending on the recommendations from the manufacturer.

If you're like me, you're very particular about the drinking quality of your water. With recent news reports of pharmaceuticals not being filtered out of drinking water supplies, as well as the increase of chlorine in water (used by municipal filtration plants for purification purposes but NOT beneficial for human consumption), having a reliable water filtration system is now more important than ever.

Often overlooked, however, is replacing the water filter cartridges once a filtration system is installed. Admittedly, with the fast-paced nature of my lifestyle, I often forget to replace my filter when required. Yet, regular replacement is crucial to any water filtration system's functionality-like oil changes are crucial for any car.

When looking for replacement options, first look to your filter's manual for manufacturer and model type, then go to the manufacturer's website for information on replacement cartridges.

Also, consult the local hardware stores and the internet search engines for replacement cartridge options. Local small "mom and pop" hardware stores and discount websites often have the best deals. However, be sure to purchase manufacturer approved water filter replacement cartridges to ensure optimal performance of your water purification system.

Alternatively, you might consider water filtration replacement programs, such as those provided by Aquasana. Every six months companies like Aquasana will mail you replacement cartridges automatically, at a reasonable price. I find these programs very helpful, since the correct types of water filter replacement cartridges are sent to my house on a regular and timely basis, which also helps me to remember replacing the cartridges at least twice a year.

When replacing your filter, you may also consider replacing your water filtration system completely, especially if your current system is more than three or four years old. As mentioned, you may opt for a system (like Aquasana's) that sends the filters on a regular basis. Or you may opt for another, newer type of system. Most modern systems nowadays have the latest features as well as improvements to the older features, such as reverse-osmosis filtration.

Whether opting for a water filter cartridge replacement, or a new water filtration system, it is always important to regularly maintain your water filtration system for good overall health and appearance. For more information, please visit my site below.

Treating your car to both regular and major tune ups will certainly improve its performance, prolong the life of its engine and dramatically increase fuel efficiency. With today's constantly increasing fuel prices, it pays to keep your engine in top condition to minimize gas consumption.

Major engine tune ups can be pretty expensive when done by the dealer. It will be more practical to get to know a mechanic who owns a garage to ensure you won't get ripped off. Or you can perform a do it yourself tune up and maintenance of your car's engine. Here are some basic tips.

Ignition and electrical systems

Inspect your car battery levels four times a year at the very least, at each season change. Top off low levels with distilled water. Remove corrosion from cable clamps and terminals by using a wire brush and a little baking soda. This practice will extend battery life.

Spark plugs should be replaced every 35,000 miles, or if they're platinum, replacements are required every 65,000 miles. Check the spark plug for cracks and corrosion and change them if damaged. Get high quality cables for added durability and reliable performance.

Get a new distributor cap with each major tune up, if the cap is not attached permanently to the spark plug cables. Also replace the rotor of your distributor, if it has one, as some new model cars don't have either a distributor cap or a rotor.

If your car is a 1978 model or older, replace the contact points and condenser. Newer car models have electronic ignitions and don't require condensers or contact points. Contact points should be aligned or replaced two times a year.

Oil and fuel systems

Unless your car has hydraulic valves, adjustment of valve covers is a necessity. While you're at it, also replace the valve cover gasket. If done properly, this will prevent oil from leaking out on top of the car engine.

Inspect the timing belt and readjust or replace it if needed. Electronic ignition-equipped cars don't often come with timing belts, while some do, so you have to be certain.

Inspect the fan belt and other belts. If they are cracked, frazzled or worn out, consider replacing them at once.

If your car has a fuel injector, you don't need to clean it regularly. Clean it only if it gets clogged and use only clean fuel bought at a gas station. The fuel filter needs to be changed every 35,000 miles.

The air filter has to be replaced every 15,000 miles, or if it is already covered with dirt. Keeping your air filter clean ensures a more efficient fuel burn, thus minimizing gas consumption.

Brakes and clutch

If your car has a manual transmission, the clutch will require certain adjustments. Newer model cars are now equipped with adjustable clutch. Consult you manufacturer's manual to be certain.

Oil, brake and transmission fluids should have their levels checked every week, or before and after long drives. Have an oil change and oil filter replacement every 3,000 miles as having clean engine oil prolongs the engine's life.

You can do your own tune ups to increase fuel efficiency, gain better engine performance and offer a smoother ride. This is not an assurance that you won't run into any car troubles, but do it yourself car tune ups will save you a lot of money in maintenance and repairs.

Where can find insert replacements for my Eheim filter?

I got an Eheim Liberty 150 hang-on filter about 6 weeks ago at Petsmart. Its about time to replace my 3rd insert - the filter foam insert (if you have one, it's the big blue one with a coarser texture), but I can't find the inserts anywhere. I found the carbon and biofoam cartridges at Petsmart, but I can't find the other one, not even on the Eheim website. If you know of anywhere that I can get these, please let me know, as I'm getting a little frstrated. I've tried Petsmart.com too.

those filters should last you a month at least, but better safe than sorry i always say!

anyways, the only one youshould replace is the carbon, if the other pads get dirty, run them under warm tapwater. im not to familiar with this brand of powerfilter, but as with all filters, you never replace the Biomedia and mechanical filters just get rinsed.

if it helps, i looked ont he web and couldnt find them either, couldnt find them

How To Select A Water Filter Cartridge

There are different types of water filter cartridges to choose from on the market and each one fits a different system and filters for different particles. These are water filter replacement cartridges that can be used in refrigerator water and ice making units, water pitchers as well as water filtration systems that filter higher quantities of water.

Water filter cartridges can come in multi-cartridge packs, which are usually less expensive than buying a single cartridge at a time. Water filter cartridges can range from five dollars up to twenty or more, depending on the type of cartridge and the amount of time the cartridge is supposed to last before replacement.

Types of Cartridges

The most common types of cartridges are those that are made for absorption types or water filtration systems. These cartridges are filled with carbon or granular activated charcoal, which is the substance used to absorb the contaminates in the water.

These cartridges are great for absorbing chlorine, which causes a bad taste in the water, as well as removing or reducing other particle matter or organic matter such as pesticides. These water filter cartridges can be found in pitcher types of filtration devices as well as in refrigeration units for the water and ice maker.

Another type of water filter cartridge is the micro filtration or particulate filter. This type of filter is also used in pitcher devices as well as water and ice makers in refrigerators. This water filter cartridge removes particles from the water such as sand, bacteria and pathogens. It is also used in portable units such as are taken on camping and hiking trips to cleanse that type of water.

Reverse osmosis water filter cartridges are another type of water purification system replacement cartridge. This type of filtration device can be found in more advanced units that serve to purify larger amounts of water.

They use a thin membrane that has microscopic holes in it that only allow water molecules to come through it. That way it cleans out chemicals, metals and minerals from the water supply. These types of water filter cartridges are found also in portable units in addition to refrigeration units for water and ice.

Water filter cartridges have to be replaced on a regular basis, according to the manufacturer's specifications. If they are not replaced regularly they can become clogged and not function properly anymore. Some clogged filters can even release more toxins into the water, making it more impure than it is unfiltered.
