Advantages Of Using The Gravity Water Purification Filters

Posted by EpicWaterSystems on December 18th, 2019

Gravity water filters use the relentless force of gravity, as their name suggests, to extract toxins from the water supply of your home. There are two compartments in the basic design of gravity water filters, with a filter (usually activated charcoal) in between.

Typically, gravity-fed water filters consist of two containers placed on top of each other. To order to avoid rusting, these containers are typically stainless steel containers and allow for easy cleaning. Water is pumped into the upper container where it passes through two or more filter cartridges due to the pulling force of gravity and ends up in the lower container. The container comes with a small tap that gets filled with purified water, and you can access it directly from there.

Healthy Water

One of the main advantages associated with a gravity water filter over other types of water filters, such as UV or reverse osmosis filters, is that in the absence of any electrical current, gravity filters can operate. Your gravity water filter will still work as long as your water supply is still working. This means that gravity water filters are suitable for homes with intermittent power access or for emergency filtration purposes as they can still provide safe, drinkable water.

Eco-friendly

Quite a low rate of mechanical problems with hardly any need for ongoing maintenance. Just make sure that you remove the filter cartridge and run the unit according to the instructions of the manufacturers. It doesn’t usually require electricity, and this can save you a lot of money on electricity bills, particularly when compared to other filter methods.

Low maintenance

The key advantage of gravity water filters is their lack of moving parts, which ensures that the maintenance you will have to do on your filter is kept to a minimum. Moreover, the only thing you will have to do regularly is to replace the activated charcoal filter twice a year (although the exact lifetime depends on the filter’s size and brand, as well as how often it is used) and clean the filter itself if your water supply contains a high concentration of minerals such as calcium, which will leave a chalky accumulation in time.
