Recommended Water Test Kits

[waterfilters]

Water Test Kits such as the Culligan TK-2 are recommended to help you determine the specific contaminants in your household water supply.

Water test kits can also measure the hardness of your water and the ph level of your water. Water test kits also identify contaminants such as chlorine, iron, nitrates, mercury, zinc, and lead in your drinking water.

Once you have completed a water quality analysis and determined the problems with your household water, we recommend that you search Waterfilters.net for the appropriate water filter to purify your water. There are many water filters available that remove or reduce chlorine, mercury, zinc, lead, particulates, sediment, herbicides, and pesticides.

Our goal is to make your water safe for you and your family. For more information about water contaminants, visit Water University. The Water University also contains a number of helpful tips to assist you in evaluating the quality of your water.>>

The smaller the #, the smaller the pore size. A micron is 1/1,000,000 of a meter. So all things being equal at the high end of flow capacity a 5 micron filter will have lower flow rates than a 100 micron filter, and the 5 micron will filter out more contaminants. Flow rate shouldn't be a problem for you unless you are pushing the limits of the filters capacity. Here's another way of looking at it: If you have a 100 micron filter and are already experiencing low flow rates, then a 5 micron will make it worse.
