THE EFFECT OF DOMESTIC WATER FILTER TYPES ON THE QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER
N. Y. Hama Salih | A. B. Ahmad
Water pollution and contamination give rise to significant health risks for humanity. As the global population swells and industries expand, the demand for safe drinking water continues to flow. Water filtration systems, such as reverse osmosis filters, effectively eliminate contaminants from the water. During an experimental study, we assessed and compared four widely-used brands of home water filters (reverse osmosis systems). Each home water filter system was subjected to analysis across seven parameters. In the majority of cases, the physicochemical parameters examined remained within acceptable limits as agreed by the World Health Organization. This study included the measurement of various parameters, including hydrogen ion potential, temperature of water, water turbidity, color, specific conductance, total dissolved solids, and total hardness. These measurements were taken both before and after the application of the filters to all samples. The percentage reduction in each parameter was calculated by comparing the readings before and after treatment. Among the four brands examined in this research, the RO1-CLASS and RO2-PURERITEK brands exhibit greater performance in the context of reverse osmosis membrane purification systems, particularly those employing six-stage filter media.
