Are you looking for the best kitchen faucet filter? There’s a couple of different options to consider. One is a kitchen faucet with filter attached and the other type of filter goes under the sink. Let’s take a look at the performance of both types of filter systems.
Flow Rates
The under the sink filter will not lower your water pressure or water flow. The counter top kitchen faucet with filter attach will reduce both pressure and flow.
Contamination Removal
Countertop kitchen faucet filters do not remove as much contamination as the under the sink systems. This is because the filter that attaches to the faucet is a single phase filter. The multi stage under the sink systems will have a carbon filter, a sub micron filter, and a ion exchange. These under the sink systems will remove over 99% of all contaminants in your tap water.
Maintenance
Installing a kitchen faucet filter is simple to do. But, these are very prone to leaks. You’ll find that people get tired of trying to maintain them and end up removing the filter. A multi stage carbon system that is installed under your sink is a set it and forget it system. The only thing you need to do is change the filter a couple of times a year.
Installation
Both systems can be installed if you are “handy”. Some people prefer to get a plumber to take care of the installation.
Filtration Technology
Either system can be purchases with a filter system called reverse osmosis. These are the most expensive, difficult to maintain, and only remove a fraction of what’s in today’s tap water. The best type of system to buy uses a multi stage carbon filtration process.
