  1. the best way to have pure and tasty drinking water is to have a glass of water from a quality water filter. In U.S.A., Aquasana is the leading name in water filters. The water filters of Aquasana have been found to be effective in all conditions. The Aquasana water filters are good in performance; it can remove COPEPODS, chlorine, lead, VOCs, THMs, Crypto, MTBE and over 100 common tap water contaminants. It only allows the essential minerals to pass through water. Aquasana products are of highest quality and the products come with lifetime warranty. Products like AQ-4000 Dual-Filter Drinking water system have made its name in the market. It is considered as one of the safest water filter because of its ability to remove turbidity and 99.99% of cryptosporidium and Giarida.

  2. Determining the best system is a simple matter of comparing the product’s performance to other alternatives. The performance of a particular water purification system can be easily verified by reviewing its Performance Data Sheet which lists all the contaminants the system is certified to remove and to what degree. The law in California and several other states requires that this information be included as part of the company’s literature as well as the ongoing replacement cartridge cost and that a copy be enclosed with each product. Typically this information will be available on a manufacturer’s web site unless they are not too proud of it. Some manufacturers do not make this information readily available as it allows an easy comparison with other legitimate products.
