Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.

Pentek ECP5-10 Pleated Cellulose Polyester Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-5/8", 5 Microns Review

This is a simple pleated paper cartridge with pretty good specs - - a five micron particle size means it will eliminate most (but not all) pollutants and minerals from water. However we have pretty high water pressure, and this seemed to distort the filter and reduce its efficacy pretty quickly. I have replaced it with a more expensive filter that uses both carbon and paper, and encloses it within a metal grid. This seems to retain the shape better. I would guess that if you don't have a major or chemical problem with your water source, this would be adequate for a simple drinking water system, as long as your pressure is not too high. It is always worth checking out how many gallons each filter is designed to handle - - this will tell you what its useful life will be. Often you will find that a more expensive filter will handle far more gallons before wearing out or clogging, and that it ends up costing you less over its life. Also, you don't have to change filters as often, which can sometimes be a pain.
