Why Filter or Purify Drinking Water:
More Drinking Water News: MTBE is now banned in 16 states and others are pending. MTBE is a gasoline additive thas has been contaminating U.S. water supplies all over the country. MTBE has been linked to drinking water contamination, according to a report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the federal Department of Energy. EIA estimates that the existing state bans and limitations will require the production of 2.73 billion gallons of ethanol in 2004 to replace MTBE. The effectiveness of any drinking water treatment device is measured by the performance of its filter. A close review of drinking water treatment unit certifications shows that solid carbon block filters are the most effective for reducing a wide range of contaminants, including those that may be found in groundwater. Certain drinking water treatment units (DWTU) that use solid carbon block filters have been tested and certified to reduce as many as 65 contaminants. In the early 1970s, the solid carbon block filter technology was developed for the purpose of treating contaminants for health reasons as well as aesthetically improving water quality. The technology combines mechanical filtration, chemical reaction and physical adsorption into a single device to reduce a broad spectrum of harmful contaminants. |
