FAQs

1. What contaminants do standard water filters remove?

Standard water filters are designed to remove a variety of common contaminants, including chlorine, sediment, lead, mercury, and volatile organic compounds (VOCS). Depending on the type of filter media used, like activated carbon or ceramic, some can also reduce bacteria, pesticides, and bad odours or tastes. Always check the product specifications to know which contaminants it targets.

2. Can standard water filters remove hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium?

Most standard water filters do not remove hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium. For that, you would need a water softener or a specialized filter with ion-exchange technology. Standard filters focus more on contaminants that affect taste, odour, and health rather than mineral content.

3. Are faucet-mounted water filters as effective as under-sink models?

Faucet-mounted filters are convenient and easy to install, but under-sink models typically offer better filtration due to larger capacity and more advanced filter media. If you’re looking for higher flow rates and more comprehensive contaminant removal, under-sink systems tend to be more effective.

4. Do standard water filters remove fluoride from drinking water?

Most standard water filters do not remove fluoride unless they are specifically designed with activated alumina or reverse osmosis technology. If fluoride removal is important to you, make sure to check for NSF certification or manufacturer claims for fluoride reduction.

5. Is it safe to drink water during a boil advisory if I have a standard filter?

No, it's not safe. Standard water filters do not remove all bacteria or viruses, so they do not make water safe to drink during a boil water advisory. You should boil the water or use a filter certified to remove microbiological contaminants in such situations.
