Currently, a lot of water filters are available. Entire cleaning systems have been developed that are mounted in the kitchen, and before getting into the mug, the water is cleaned. According to cleaning methods, they are divided into:

- sorption (in other words, absorbers);

- mechanical grains of sand, trash, flakes trapped in water;

- ion-exchange, oxidizing compounds in water, and translating them into new forms;

- electrochemical, using the redox process, destroying viruses, bacteria, etc .;

- reverse osmosis - the most promising. They pass only molecules of water and oxygen through semi-impervious tiny membranes .

Everyone can choose for themselves a filter that is more suitable in his case. Bottled water is also safe, the delivery and sale of which is not a problem in our time.
