At present, there are a number of treatment options of water in the households. Each of the methods possesses its unique strengths as well as costs. The use of chlorine is considered to be a cost-efficient method of disinfecting water. It is responsible for killing of various microorganisms such as the ones that cause typhoid, cholera, and dysentery. This is the reason that makes most of the water utility companies to treat water using chlorine. The second method used is distillation. The reason is that a majority of the bacteria cannot withstand the heat from the boiling water. It needs to be noted that there are those likely substances that possess a lower boiling point as compared to water. Hence, the contaminants come with the water during evaporation. This makes the method to not have 100 percent efficiency in terms of water safety. Further, the distillers are costly in the short and long term. Water filtration is considered to be the complete solution. It is able to eliminate sediments, bacteria, heavy metals, and chlorine. In addition to that, it is also cost-effective, there is less risk of contamination, has pleasant tasting water, and the system is compact and neat.
