Kitchen Water Filters
Water filtration systems remove contaminants from the water source.
Some filtration systems remove more than others. At Bay, you will find effective water filtration systems – from under counter filters and kitchen reverse osmosis filters (described below) to whole house purification systems and whole house reverse osmosis systems. A variety of filter faucets for these units are available to compliment the design of your kitchen.
Under counter water filters are popular because they free up counter space. The filtration unit is stored in the cabinet below the sink, while the filter faucet spout is mounted behind the sink basin in line with the main faucet and other kitchen accessories. The price has come down significantly in recent years making this an affordable choice.
Another benefit to having a filter in your home is that you no longer have to lug heavy bottles of water from outside sources which can hurt your back. AND now that we have no clue about what kind of plastic to trust, this eliminates the confusion of plastic contaminants and what they MAY do to you as well as eliminating plastic going into the landfill or ocean which is wreaking havoc on ocean life in various ways.
Under counter filters provide a family of 4 with continuous fresh drinking water for approximately 1 – 1 ½ years without having to change out the filter (timing depends on water source and usage).
Reverse Osmosis filtration systems remove everything from the water
including minerals which may be valuable to the body. The benefit is that everything BAD is removed from the water. The flip-side is that you would do well to incorporate more fresh raw fruits and vegetables into your diet to compensate for the removal of minerals from the water.
Reverse Osmosis is often utilized in environments where a water softener has been installed and Reverse Osmosis is the only way to effectively remove the salt from the water and make it drinkable.
Reverse Osmosis is also utilized by people with serious health concerns so as to have extraordinarily purified water.
Reverse Osmosis filtration systems are installed under the cabinet and have a 3 gallon storage tank (it's a fair size) and a series of membranes/filters housed efficiently which don't take much space. Membranes/filters are generally replaced annually (depending on water source and usage/consumption).
