Some people use filter jugs in their homes. These usually have a top part into which you put tap water.
As the water goes from the top part of the jug to the lower part, it passes through a filter cartridge. This normally contains activated Carbon, and ion-exchange resin, and silver.
- The Carbon in the filter reduces the levels of Chlorine, Pesticides and other organic impurities in the water
- The ion-exchange resin removes Calcium, Magnesium, Lead, Copper and Aluminium ions.
- Some filter cartridges may contain Silver, which discourages the growth of bacteria within the filter.
In most jugs, the filter cartridge needs to be changed every few weeks.
