How A Water Distiller Works
Steam distillers are one of the oldest and one of the most effective ways to purify drinking water. Steam distillation utilizes a very simple process that mimics the natural processes that purify the water on the Earth. On earth, this process is called the hydrologic cycle. The hydrologic cycle is a process of events where water moves through the on and through the Earth and atmosphere in its liquid and vapor forms. This process is powered exclusively by the energy of the sun.

How Ultraviolet (UV) Light Water Filters Work
Using ultraviolet (UV) light to purify drinking water is a concept that has existed for more than one hundred years. Despite its early beginnings, the science behind UV disinfection is complex. Understanding the fundamentals of how UV is able to purify drinking water requires a relatively deep understanding of physics, chemistry and biology.
The average consumer of this technology rarely has the science background to fully grasp how a "light in a pipe" will be able to protect a water supply...
Removing Drugs & Pharmaceuticals From Drinking Water
