### Types of Water Filtration Systems

There are a variety of different water filtration systems available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the most common types of water filtration systems include:

Activated carbon filters

remove contaminants by adsorbing them onto the surface of activated carbon. *

Reverse osmosis systems

remove contaminants by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane. *

Ultrafiltration systems

remove contaminants by forcing water through a very fine filter. *

Distillation systems

remove contaminants by boiling water and collecting the steam.

### Choosing a Water Filtration System

When choosing a water filtration system, there are a few things to keep in mind:

The type of contaminants you want to remove

- Some water filtration systems are more effective at removing certain contaminants than others. *
