Drinking water filters can be used in a variety of different ways - one of the most convenient is the inline, or under-counter, filter.
What is an inline water filter?
An inline water filter works by becoming part of a particular water supply. In the home this is usually by being added to the water supply that serves the main cold water tap in the kitchen.An inline water filter is attached directly to the water pipe running underneath the sink. Water is filtered as it passes through the ceramic candle contained within the housing before reaching the tap.
Benefits of an inline water filter
Inline water filters are a highly efficient and discreet way to filter drinking water.By being fitted under the counter, inline filters save surface space in the kitchen and are kept out of sight.
They are also in operation constantly so there is no need to empty containers or take action to activate the filter.
Packed with ceramic technology Doulton's inline water filters remove up to 99.99% of contaminants from drinking water including:
- Chlorine
- Heavy metals
- Water-borne cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidium
- Pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli
Inline water filters also provide a longer-term solution to easily access healthy drinking water with the ceramic candles inside the filter only needing to be replaced around every six months.
Installing an inline water filter
Most inline filters also require a compatible counter-top tap to channel the filtered water through. This can be either a dedicated cold water tap that is added to the additional tap set-up, or a three-way mixer tap that will provide hot, cold and filtered water.
