Sand Water Filter: Is It Worth Buying?
Well, the answer to the question whether a sand water filter is worth buying or not, somewhat depends on the area in which you are living. It is one of the basic ways of Water Purification, common mainly in remote areas where the infrastructure to support a better filter mechanism is not available.
If you are not living in any such area and are fortunate enough to be consuming either well water or the water supplied from companies, then take my advice and don't waste your money on a sand water filter. I will provide you with an easy option which is not only reasonably priced but is 99% more effective and efficient than a conventional sand filter.
Let me start with the list of contaminants that well water or tap water has. Though there are over 2,100 different contaminants, I will list down only the ones that are there on the top of my head. They are - chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, arsenic, selenium, lead, copper, bacteria, viruses, cysts, pharmaceutical drugs etc.
Now ask yourself a simple question. Do you really think a sand water filter will be able to get rid of all these impurities? Some of these like chlorine and drugs are some contaminants that even the much hyped Reverse Osmosis water filters cannot remove.
A sand water purifier is basically sufficient for removing only granular sediments like sand, salt, silt, rust etc. They are anyways removed by the water company before the water reaches your tap. So the duplication of efforts is absolutely not required.
For well water consumers, this filter is beneficial - but don't look at it as a purifier. It can be seen as a sieve which will remove some flakes but the chemicals, microbes, metals, everything else will still be there in your drinking water.
Coming back to suggesting you a purifier which is far more efficient than a sand water filter. They are commonly known as multi block water purifiers. They are based on cutting edge technologies of Carbon filtration, Ion Exchange and Sub Micron filtration. This combined force makes them the best in their league.
These filters can practically remove all – chemical, organic, inorganic, synthetic contaminants from water thus producing water which is 99% pure.
Another advantage with these purifiers is that unlike reverse osmosis based filters which are unreasonably expensive; these filters are very economical to buy and even maintain.
If you want to have real value for money, forget about a sand water filter and go for an advanced water purifier. Enjoy clean and pure drinking water without hurting your wallet.
