* Sediment Filters: These filters remove physical particles like dirt, sand, and rust from the water.
* Activated Carbon Filters: These filters remove organic contaminants, chlorine, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
* Iron Filters: These filters remove dissolved iron from the water.
* Water Softeners: These filters remove dissolved calcium and magnesium ions, making the water "softer."
Point-of-Use Water Filters:
* Faucet-Mounted Filters: These filters attach to the faucet and provide filtered water for drinking and cooking.
* Under-Sink Filters: These filters are installed under the sink and provide filtered water for drinking, cooking, and other purposes.
* Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: These systems use a semipermeable membrane to remove a wide range of contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and dissolved solids.
Disinfection Systems:
* Chlorination: Chlorine is a common disinfectant that kills bacteria and other microorganisms.
* Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection: UV light kills bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
The specific type of water filter or disinfection system you need will depend on the quality of your well water and your specific needs and preferences. It's always a good idea to have your well water tested to determine the contaminants present and the best treatment options.
