3M Water Filtration Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why use a water filtration system? Isn't boiling water safer?
Many families maintain the quality of drinking water by boiling, believing that boiling water should be able to achieve disinfection. While 15 to 20 minutes of boiling may kill intestinal bacteria and viruses, it cannot eradicate the taste of chlorine. Also, the sediment and lead in the water remain even after boiling the water, leading to harmful effects on the human body over time.
-
There are many types of home water filtration systems, how to choose?
Choose a 3M™ Residential Water Filtration system based on the filtration capacity & performance, type of harmful substances, family size and usage. You can choose the appropriate model according to the water quality of the area, the status and service life of the water pipes of the buildings and residences, and size of your household to achieve the most effective and economical filtering effect. Generally, models with an effective filtration capacity of less than 1,500 liters are suitable for small households (2-4 people) for 6-9 months; models with an effective filtration capacity of more than 1,500 liters can be used by small households for one year.
