Filters: how they work to keep your air and water clean

Household water filters play an important role in making sure the water that is delivered for your showers and taps is in it’s purest form. Air filters help remove contaminants from the air to improve the quality of air supply. Read on to find out how filters work.

Water filters work by passing water through a sediment filter, which removes particulate matters and solids. Afterwards, it is then passed through a fine filter, which eliminates iron, chlorine and other minerals. In order to purify water for drinking, a UV sterilizer is used. This kills all microorganisms present in water. Water passes through and comes out as pure and healthy water suitable for drinking.

Air purifiers work by using a system of fans to pull air through a series of air filters. The purified air is then circulated back into the room. HEPA, which stands for high-efficiency particle arrestance, is the gold standard for allergen and particle removal. A HEPA filter must remove less than 99.97 of particles 0.3 microns or larger from your air.

If you have filtration products at home or in the office, an air or water filter service can check to see if they are operating at maximum efficiency. Have a go at looking through our directory to find a filter specialist near you today!
