01
Sediment filters
They trap sand, rust and suspended particles. Usually installed first, at the water inlet, to protect pipes, appliances and the following filtration stages.
Suited to: Cloudy water, boreholes, old networks
WATER FILTRATION
Water filters
Which water filter do you actually need? A practical guide to filter types, what each one removes, and how to choose the right system for your home or business.
WHY FILTER YOUR WATER?Better taste,
Better taste,
protected appliances.
Tap water in many areas of Western Greece and the Ionian may carry chlorine taste, sediment or high mineral content, while boreholes and wells need extra care. The right filter improves taste, reduces specific contaminants and protects your installation.
- Less bottled water and plastic.
- Cleaner water for drinking and cooking.
- A system chosen from your water analysis.

No single filter removes everything. Knowing what each technology does helps you avoid paying for the wrong one.
02
Activated carbon filters
They reduce residual chlorine, unpleasant odours and tastes, and some organic compounds. They do not remove hardness minerals or all dissolved substances.
Suited to: Chlorine taste and smell in tap water
03
Reverse osmosis
A very fine membrane that substantially reduces dissolved salts, nitrates, heavy metals and other contaminants. Usually installed under the sink for drinking and cooking water.
Suited to: Drinking water, high salts or nitrates
04
UV disinfection
Ultraviolet light that inactivates bacteria and viruses without chemicals. It only works properly with clear, pre-filtered water and does not remove chemical contaminants.
Suited to: Boreholes, wells, storage tanks
HOW TO CHOOSE
Four steps to the right filter.
01 /
Water analysis
We start with what is actually in your water: hardness, chlorine, turbidity, nitrates or microbial load. Without analysis, choosing a filter is guesswork.
02 /
Point-of-use or whole-house
An under-sink filter for drinking water, or a central system at the inlet for the whole house, hotel or business.
03 /
The right combination
The best solution is often multi-stage: sediment pre-filter, activated carbon and, where needed, softening, reverse osmosis or UV.
04 /
Installation & maintenance
A filter is only as good as its maintenance. We set a cartridge replacement schedule so the system keeps performing.

Water filters,
clearly explained.
There is no single best filter for everyone. It depends on your water quality and use. Activated carbon usually suffices for chlorine taste and smell; reverse osmosis suits high salts or nitrates in drinking water; softening is needed for scale that damages appliances.
