Our town water filters are three-stage filtration systems. These systems are designed to provide comprehensive water purification by passing water through three distinct filters, each targeting different contaminants to ensure clean, safe, and great-tasting water.
Sediment Filter (Stage 1): The first stage uses a sediment filter that captures larger particles such as dirt, sand, rust, and other debris. This prevents clogging and protects the subsequent filters from damage, improving their efficiency and longevity.
Carbon Filter (Stage 2): In the second stage, the water passes through an activated carbon filter. This filter reduces chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals that affect the taste, smell, and overall quality of water. It also helps remove some organic contaminants.
Fine Filter (Stage 3): The final stage often consists of a finer filter, such as a reverse osmosis membrane or a ceramic filter, that targets microscopic impurities. This stage effectively removes heavy metals (like lead and mercury), bacteria, and other harmful contaminants, ensuring the water is safe for drinking and cooking.
Together, these three stages work to deliver thoroughly filtered water, free from sediments, chemicals, and harmful contaminants, while enhancing taste and safety.
