A water filter is a porous substance such as activated carbon which removes sediment and unwanted substances such as harmful chemicals and toxins from our water. Although filters are valuable, they are generally inadequate for turning municipal or well water into healthy drinking water by themselves. A filter improves taste and odor and aids to remove impurities from your drinking water, but does not treat viruses in any way. While they do help to make water appear to be clean, they cannot be relied on as a sole means to ensure safe drinking water for your family. Our Lindyspring Impression RC System is perfect for those who are looking for an effective treatment system for municipal water.

What is a Water Purifier?

A water purifier is defined as a system that removes 90-95% of all contaminants in water. One of the best purifying systems Lindyspring Systems offers is our Reverse-Osmosis Drinking Water System. Similar to water filtration, the process of water purification works to remove impurities from water. However, the impurities focused on in the purification process are those that relate to the overall safety of the water: biological contaminants, viruses, chemicals, and other materials. Water purification works as a chemical process usually using either iodine or chlorine.

To quickly recap, filters are good at removing small sediments and impurities but are not designed to do the heavy lifting that purifiers do. Only the right combination of filters and purifiers can create truly safe drinking water for Lake of the Ozarks homes and businesses. Simply understanding the differences between a water filtration system and a water purification system will help you go a long way in providing safe and healthy drinking water for your family.
