How Our Water Filter System Works

Here’s a description of the "How Our Water Filter System Works" infographic:

The visual illustrates a three-stage water filtration process, designed to show how water is purified step by step:


– The first stage captures sand, silt, dirt, and other large particles, preventing them from entering the rest of the system.

– The second stage uses activated carbon to reduce chlorine, odors, and organic compounds, improving taste and smell.

– The final stage exposes the water to ultraviolet light, effectively destroying bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms for safe, clean water.
