Under counter water filters (under sink water filters) are the most convenient type of water purifiers because these ultimate space savers provide you with clear, fresh drinking water on demand! The best under counter purifiers to use in your home are those with additional filtration stages and options such as fluoride removal or nitrate removal. With these options the water in your house will get clean from contaminants such as carbon, toxicity, waste, sediments, lead, bacteria, chlorine, iron, sulphide andaluminum, still preserving beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium. If you use under sink water filters together with a whole house filter, it will be even more effective.
Under sink water filters can be easily attached to your kitchen sink, bar sink, bathroom sink and other sinks used in your house. They are essentially the same as the countertop models, except they are mounted under the sink and save counter space. Under sink water filters are a bit more difficult to install than countertop filters, but if you’ve done light home plumbing repairs, you can install one of these filters yourself.
Under sink water filters are a great option if you like a clean, clutter-free kitchen.
There’s no exposed filter, valves, or tubing, just a special faucet at the kitchen sink. Some filters have brass or nickel faucets to match your kitchen decor. Because the filter is below the sink, your counter top space is free for cooking.
While making your choice in favour of undersink water purification systems you should remember that a water filter that fits under the counter only works for that particular sink. This is usually the kitchen sink because it is where most family members go to get a drink and where the water for cooking or washing the food comes from. If you want to have pure water in other sinks in the home, such as in the bathroom for brushing your teeth, you will have to have a separate water purifier installed for that sink as well. And after you see how easy and affordable the first one is - we’re sure you’ll hook up one at every faucet in your home!
Under counter water filters are recommended when cabinet space is available under the kitchen counter and a permanent installation of a high performance water filtration system is desired.
