The first step to having clean, purified water in your home is getting some sort of water cooler filter installed. More often that not, it’s more practical to own an undersink water filter rather than have one cluttering your counter top.
The trick is to choose the right type of under sink water filter which can be tricky with so many on the market at the moment. However, WaterCoolerFilters.co.uk has put together some tips to choosing a good one to suit your needs.
Under water sink filters need to be easy to install and should fit neatly inside your cupboard out of view so it doesn’t ruin the look of your kitchen and cause clutter. Usually the company where you purchase the filter from will come out and install it for you.
You should ensure the company you buy it from offers a money back guarantee and a warranty so that if the product does not meet your expectations you can return it and get your money back. It’s peice of mind for you.
You want a system that filters out the most contaminates and the greatest amount possible so don’t be afraid to ask the company whether their under sink water filter can do this and what the level of filtration is on the model you are looking at.
The ongoing cost per gallon of running under sink water filters is an important consideration so be sure to ask the company about this as well. You should find out how often you need to change the filter cartridge and is it an easy procedure to do yourself or will someone from their company come out and do it for us? You should also research the company who is selling the filter and see if there are any customer testimonials available for you to look at. You want a trustworthy company who is dedicated to helping you make the right choice.

When looking at water cooler filters you need to know what’s available and which one will work best for you and the environment in which it’s placed. WaterCoolerFilters.co.uk is an industry leader in water cooler filters and would be pleased to provide you with some initital information on the types of water filters available on the market right now.
Firstly there’s the activated carbon water filters that fit onto the faucet. This type of filter is good because it’s simple and quite inexpenisve. However although it will reduce the chlorine in the water and will improve the taste it won’t remove all of the other contaminants that might be present.
Next there’s the counter top or under sink filters which use active carbon technology together with other forms of filtration, the most common of which is a membrane with tiny holes in it which allows only the smaller substances to go through the filter. These types of filters reduce most harmful substances that may be found in tap water but can be more expensive than other types of filters because of this.
Then last but not least, there’s the reverse osmosis systems, which seem to remove almost all the contaminants of the water, including the ones our bodies may actually need. The other downside of these filters is that they can be very expensive and usually waste a lot of water while in operation.

WaterCoolerFilters.co.uk knows how to bring you clean, purified water through the use of their state of the art, affordable water cooler filters, but we also know how to help you save water, which is an important peice of knowledge to have in this day and age where water conservation is so precious.
Did you know that less than 1% of the earth’s water supply can be used for drinking and two thirds of the water used in a home is used in the bathroom? This means we should look at how we use water in the bathroom especially and try to reduce it as best we can. For example, a small drip from a tap can waste as much as four litres of water a day, so check all your faucets and ensure they are firmly turned off.
Leaving the tap running while you clean your teeth can waste nine litres of water so ensure you turn the tap off when you brush your teeth and encourage your children to do the same. It’s also better to have a shower over a bath as a five minute shower uses about a third of the water of a bath, saving up to 400 litres per week. You can also look into getting a water saving device in your toilet cistern as it can save up to three litres per flush.
In other areas of the house such as the laundry and the kitchen you can also help save water by waiting until you have a full load for your washing machine and waiting until you have a full load for your dishwasher, doing these two actions together can save up to 100 litres of water.

Many home water treatment systems use activated carbon filtration. It can be used as a standalone filter to reduce or eliminate bad tastes and odors, chlorine, and many organic contaminants in municipal (pre-treated or chlorinated) water supplies to produce noteably improved drinking water.
There are two principal mechanisms by which activated carbon removes contaminants from water; absorption, and catalytic reduction, a process involving the attraction of negatively-charged contaminant ions to the positively-charged activated carbon. Organic compounds are removed by absorption and residual disinfectants such as chlorine and chloramines are removed by catalytic reduction.
Carbon is a substance that has a long history of being used to absorb impurities and is perhaps the most powerful absorbent known to man. One pound of carbon contains a surface area of roughly 125 acres and can absorb literally thousands of different chemicals.
Activated carbon is carbon which has a slight electro-positive charge added to it, making it even more attractive to chemicals and impurities. As the water passes over the positively charged carbon surface, the negative ions of the contaminants are drawn to the surface of the carbon granules.When flow conditions are suitable, dissolved chemicals in water flowing over the carbon surface “stick” to the carbon in a thin film while the water passes on.
Activated carbon water filters require very little maintenance, however it’s still vital to ensure that filter replacement schedules are followed so you have correct filtration at all times. Don’t wait for bad tastes and odors to return to the water before deciding the filter needs replacement as this means that the filter is no longer able to completely remove contaminants and that it has surpassed its service life. Simply call your water cooler company and have them send someone out to change the filter. They should automatically do this if it has been six months already.

Water filters are essesntial to all types of water coolers and fountains as they remove chlorine, limescale and other impurities that cause bad taste and odour from your mains water supply so just about everyone should benefit from a home water filtration system.
Even if chlorine were the only contaminant in your tap water (it’s significant to note that chlorine is in everyone’s tap water), there are important health benefits to using chlorine-free water. People who have pools or even pet fish knows that chlorine can kill as its sole purpose as a pesticide is to kill living cells and organisms.
When we consume chlorine, no matter how small the amount, it’s not healthly for our bodies. Chlorine has recently been linked to cancer, birth defects, heart disease and many serious illnesses.
However the nasties in tap water don’t stop at chlorine. More than 90% of all water systems in the United States contain traces of at least ten synthetic chemicals and lead. A recent report stated, “After reviewing over 10,000 pages of EPA documents acquired through the Freedom Of Information Act… over 2100 chemicals that can cause cancer have been detected in U.S. tap water.”
Because water utilities only test for about 75 contaminants, there could be plenty more out there that we don’t know about. So in knowing the risks, it’s important people start implementing change within their homes starting with quality, in-home water filtration.

If you have recently had plumbed in water coolers installed in your school, office or home you will need to ensure you keep them clean by having them sanistised and changing the water filter at least every six months.
Depending on which water cooler company you are renting or have purchased through, the way in which this process occurs will differ. Some companies will leave you with a sanitisation kit for you or your maintenance team to do themselves, whereas other companies will provide a full service contract which usually includes six monthly service and cleaning , six monthly filter changes as well as an engineer on call incase of any leaks or damage that needs fixing. It’s especially important to have the engineer on call so you can have things fixed straight away if any problems do arise.
When choosing a water cooler company it’s important to ask what their service contract involves and whether you need a higher of lower level. You don’t want to be paying for the service you aren’t getting.
So make sure they are a reliable company who will send an engineer out when needed. The last thing you need is to have a leaking water cooler for days on end.
