Clean water is essential for health, but not all water treatment methods are created the same. People question what the best water filtration system is, yet they are unaware of the biggest differences between water filtration and purification. Although both methods provide cleaner and safer water, it is important to understand which method may be better suited for your lifestyle. 

How Does Water Filtration Work?

Water filtration is the process of removing larger/physical contaminants from water. This typically involves passing water through a filter that traps unwanted particles. 

1. Activated Carbon - Reduces Chlorine, chemicals, and larger sediment.
2. Reverse Osmosis - Removes high percentage of toxins.
3. Pre-Filter - Removes physical particles such as sediment, dirt, and waste matter.

How Does Water Purification Work?

Water purification improves water safety by removing and eliminating biological contaminants, such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. 

1. UVC LED Purification - Uses ultraviolet light to sterilize all bacteria and viruses. 
2. Chemical Treatment - Uses chemicals to purify water.
3. Boiling - Boil water to a certain temperature to kill bacteria and viruses.

   

While water filtration and water purification improve water quality, they serve different purposes. Filtration removes larger and physical contaminants, while purification eliminates harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. For the best results, combining both methods will give you the cleanest and safest water for your family. This is why the team here at Blu Technology has created a 4-stage UVC-LED water system to ensure you are receiving the cleanest water. 

Our 4-stage UVC-LED water system contains a 5-micron size pre-filter, followed by a combined 0.2-micron size filter and tasty filter. These three stages ensure the water still tastes good while removing large particles and some harmful contaminants. The last stage is the UVC-LED light which removes 99.99% of harmful contaminants. These methods combined ensure the water you are drinking is giving you peace of mind for you and your family. As the team at Blu Technology continues to innovate in the water industry, be on the lookout for our launch of the UVC-LED filtration in April.

On top of the UVC-LED system, we proudly provide multiple 3-stage filtration systems including the Adventure Series AR3 5-Inch, AR3 XLt 10-Inch, R3, and The TRIO. Make sure to visit Blu Technology to find the next system that best suits your next adventure.
