• fine cleaning;
• coarse cleaning;

• Mineral - cylinders, which are filled with mineral crumb. It detains salt and chemical elements.
• Ion exchange - purification in filters is carried out in a tank that is filled with resin ions. Such devices soften the water and make it pleasant to the taste.

Rough cleaning

Similar devices clean the water only of large particles of blockage - rust, debris, sand. They are installed near the distributor - divorce in the bathroom, kitchen and toilet.

• Self-flushing - all dirt is washed off automatically into the drainage pipe.
• Flushing - to clean them, turn off the water supply, remove the device and clean it by hand.
• High-speed pressure - this device is used for cleaning water with a large number of impurities.
• Cartridge - they are based on a cartridge, which detains particles of 0.5 microns.

Magnetic

Such water purification filters are nozzles that are worn directly on the faucet. They contain a lot of harmful compounds, microimpurities and chlorine. Very well destroy the "scum".

Flow-through filters for water are divided into three types:

1. Under the sink. It consists of several flasks responsible for coarse and fine cleaning, disinfection - in each flask its process.
2. Nozzles on the crane. Such devices remove only large mechanical impurities and install them on the tap using special fasteners. It is a good option for a flow filter for cleaning water in an apartment.
