The main types of water filter systems are sediment filters (removes dirt and rust), carbon filters (removes chlorine, taste, odors, VOCs), reverse osmosis (removes nearly everything for drinking water), UV (kills bacteria and viruses), and whole-home combination systems that layer multiple stages together for complete treatment.

Filter types

  • Sediment — Removes dirt, rust, particles
  • Carbon — Removes chlorine, taste, odors, VOCs
  • Reverse osmosis (RO) — Removes nearly everything (drinking water)
  • UV — Kills bacteria and viruses (well water)
  • Whole-home combination — Multi-stage treatment

We design layered systems through our water quality treatment service.
