In the past, people had no other alternative other than using municipal H2O that most of the times they were dissatisfied with. This water has chlorine taste, algae or in rare cases contains lead. If you are still using contaminated H2O probably are tired of having iron stains on your toilets and sinks. Having a white crusty calcium deposit build up on your shower head or your white laundry is coming gray due to too much manganese, then there are different method of water filtration that will save you from all these.

Distillation is one such process, which is probably the oldest method of reclaiming H2O purity. It involves heating the H2O to boiling point then collection of the vapor, which is later cooled and stored for use. After undergoing the process the cooled vapor is considered safe as the contaminants are destroyed at the boiling stage.

The other method of H2O purification is carbon adsorption. This involves using activated carbon to remove disagreeable tastes and odors from the H2O. It includes even the taste and odor from objectionable chlorine. Activated carbon filters also have ability to eliminate some microorganism from the H2O.

Micro porous basic filtration is a H2O purification using three distinct filters namely: depth, screen and surface filters. Depth filters are normally used as prefilters because they are an economical way to remove 98.8 percent of suspended particles and protect elements downstream from clogging and fouling.

Reverse osmosis is always considered the most economical method of removing the highest percentage of contaminants in H2O. It is composed of membranes that are said to be able to practically reject all particles, bacteria and other small microorganisms. It is because of this that a majority of firms and H2O bottling plants uses this method.

Ultra violet radiations are widely used for sanitizing H2O. This is an effective method for destroying bacteria. What normally happens in this method is that the UV rays are absorbed by the DNA and proteins present in the microbial cell leading to the deactivation of the bacteria. With the advancement of the UV technology, it is possible to use this method to remove organic compounds in H2O.

Chlorination is another H2O sanitation method used across the globe. This involves addition of sodium hypochlorite in water. In big H2O bottling plants, chlorine pumps that use gamma technology are used for dosing the liquid chlorine into the H2O system. Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent and it kills microorganisms as well as reducing organic components by oxidizing them.

With the advancements in technology as we see in our day-to-day life, water filtration is not left behind. There are currently many advanced ways available today for ensuring safe H2O but the basic principle will always borrow an idea from the olden days. The improvement though is important because it provides for filtration of large volumes of H2O probably at a cheaper cost as compared to the ancient methods.
