Monso Water vs. Carbon Filters
Is that the most pure water you can get?
| Contaminant |
Approximate Size(s) (μm) |
Effectively Filtered By |
| Bacteria | 0.2–10 | Reverse Osmosis, Sometimes Carbon |
| Viruses | 0.004–0.1 | Reverse Osmosis |
| Lead | 0.1–0.7 | Reverse Osmosis, Sometimes Carbon |
| Pesticides & Herbicides | 0.001 | Reverse Osmosis |
| Sugars | 0.0008–0.005 | Reverse Osmosis |
This table shows that a number of common contaminants get right through carbon filtration, while reverse osmosis filtration removes just about everything.
Monso Water vs. Filter Tap
More functions and nicer to your budget
The most costly option is a combined filter and boiling tap, which has a prohibitively high one-time upfront cost that often does not include installation.
The cost of running a Monso Water Purifier system, which has a more advanced filtration system and also offers immediate chilled and hot water, is also lower.
Monso Water vs. Filter Jugs
The more practical and healthier alternative
A filter jug is the cheapest filtered water alternative. It has a low one-time purchase price and monthly replacement filters are likewise reasonably priced.
However, due to issues with fridge storage capacity, a very simple filtering mechanism, the possibility of bacteria growth, and the unavailability of an inbuilt hot water solution, a filter jug may not be the best overall choice.
Monso Water vs. Bottled Water
Save money while saving the environment
Based on the short-term cost, bottled water may seem to be a nice option. However, over the course of three years, you may wind up paying more than if you rented a Monso Water Purifier system. You could get unlimited pure water just under 50p per day.
Then there's the environmental harm caused by the large quantity of plastic garbage produced each time you purchase bottled water.
So the choice is yours
When evaluating the benefits and drawbacks to choose the ideal water for your house, Monso Water comes out on top. However, as the saying goes, the decision is yours...
