The Difference Between Gravity and Pitcher Water Filters

Is it time to replace your current water filter system?

Are you unsure about what the real differences are between a pitcher and a gravity system?

While both serve the common goal of purifying water, they operate on distinct mechanisms and offer unique advantages. Understanding the differences between these filtration systems can help you make informed decisions regarding your water filtration needs.

Why the Differences Matter

Water Quality Requirements: Understanding the specific contaminants present in your water supply and the level of filtration required is crucial in selecting the most suitable filtration system.

Usage Scenario: Consider factors such as your household size, frequency of water consumption, and space availability when choosing between gravity and pitcher filters.

What Contaminants Can Affect Water's Taste?

Does your water taste off?

Do you think contaminants are to blame?

Common contaminants that affect water’s taste include:

Pesticides – Used to kill insects and other pests to promote agriculture, pesticides can give water a chemical taste. Pesticides can enter your water through runoff or can seep into the water supply directly if used near your well.

Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium – These minerals are known as the “good minerals” because they’re minerals humans need. In large amounts, they can provide a metallic or soapy taste.

Chlorine and Other Disinfectants – Chlorine is a gas used to disinfect and kill bacteria and can be used to disinfect water. Chlorinating city water is common. Chlorine or other disinfectants can make your water smell or taste like a swimming pool.

Can Water Filters Help During a Boil Water Advisory?

Has a boil water advisory been issued for your location?

What does that mean?

A boil water advisory is a notice issued by your local public health department or government notification advising customers to boil tap water before consuming due to possible contamination by pathogens. During a boil water advisory, the CDC recommends using bottled water or boiled tap water for much of your water use.

A boil water advisory could last for several days or even weeks depending on what’s causing the issue. Think of all the money you’ll have to spend on bottled water for cleaning and cooking!

ProOne water filters can help remove some of the potential bacteria in your water supply. Learn how well the ProOne G2.0 filter can help remove microbiological contaminants! 

Visit ProOne independent lab reports for details on other contaminant reductions. 

Filtering water can help reduce bacteria and viruses, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defense. Boil your water for at least one minute or longer as recommended by your local water or health department and allow to cool down before use. 

Have Quick Access to Filtered Water with Water Filter Pitchers 

What makes ProOne different from other water filter pitchers?

In traditional water filter pitchers, the filter sits in the filtered water, potentially allowing cross-contamination of your drinking water. The unique design of the ProOne Water Filter Pitcher positions the filter upright in the container, out of the filtered water, eliminating the potential for cross-contamination and ensuring the purest possible drinking water.

Don’t wait for a boil water advisory to happen in your community. Have access to filtered water with ProOne products today.
