What are Microplastics and Can You Filter them from Tap Water?
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that can infiltrate our water supply, posing potential health risks. And, yes! Microplastics can be effectively filtered from tap water using high-quality filtration systems. Standard water filters may not quite manage, but multi-stage filtration, reverse osmosis, and advanced carbon filters can remove even the smallest microplastic particles, ensuring cleaner and safer drinking water.
What is the Best Filter to Remove Microplastics?
The best filters for removing microplastics are multi-stage filtration systems that effectively capture these contaminants while maintaining essential minerals in the water. Here are some top filtration technologies to look for:
🔹 Activated Carbon Filters – Excellent at absorbing chemical pollutants, odours and some microplastics.
🔹 Nanofiltration – A high-tech solution that uses extremely small pores to filter out even the tiniest contaminants.
🔹 Multi-Stage Filtration Systems – Combines different filter types for superior purification and improved taste.
🔹 Reverse Osmosis Systems – One of the most effective methods, removing up to 99% of microplastics and other impurities. However, these also filter out all the good minerals :( so they’re not our top choice.
Our collection at The Tap Specialist includes taps with advanced filtration, ensuring you have access to microplastic-free water.
