Water Tank Filters in the UAE: Types, Prices & Buying Guide

Introduction

If you still believe that installing a water tank filter is a luxury, this article is very likely to change your mind completely. We live in a world buzzing with tools whose main purpose is to make life easier and to place everything useful at the service of people across every field, from telecommunications and the internet to phone services, and even in space, where countless satellites have been launched to monitor the weather and power many other applications built to serve humanity.

When it comes to water resources, many practical technologies have been developed to purify, desalinate and cool water so it can be used to the fullest, even from polluted sources. In the United Arab Emirates, water supplies are often loaded with limescale, calcium, bacteria, sand and dust. While the majority ignore this, others have taken the initiative to treat their water and then use it in its clean, fresh form. One of the most important innovations in this field is the water tank filter, which delivers a radical solution for eliminating every type of germ in the water, right down to the microscopic ones.
In today’s article we will explore this subject in depth and talk in full about water tank filters, their types, advantages and disadvantages, offer a quick comparison between the different tank filter models, explain how to install a tank filter correctly, and much more.

What Is a Water Tank Filter?

Water is the primary source of life, so it is only natural that we should care for this precious resource, because without water all life would perish. Yet not every region enjoys clear water to the same degree; some places are short of water altogether, and where it is found it often looks cloudy and polluted, carrying plenty of dust, sand and calcium salts.
This is exactly what drove people, since ancient times, to purify their drinking water using all kinds of methods and tools, such as placing a piece of cloth over a vessel to strain the water before use. Later, some turned to natural plants that were scientifically proven to settle pollutants at the bottom and let the fresh water float to the top,

and so, as generations passed and new ones arrived, science advanced and the digital revolution emerged, changing the course of the world entirely. Out of it came a fully integrated system whose main design goal is to purify, filter and separate both fine and large pollutants from the water, so that we obtain fresh water suitable for every use.

Water tank filters differ from one another in the type of materials used in the filtration process, and today we see several types on the market, each differing from the next in performance and in the kind of water the filter can handle. A filter can be installed at the main plumbing lines of a home, or of any type of facility, so that clean water reaches every corner. Sometimes water tank filters are fitted directly at the tank itself, while others prefer to place the filter only at the kitchen sink, mounting it under the counter and connecting it with special pipes that prevent any leakage toward the taps used for drinking and for washing dishes, vegetables and fruit.

In short, water tank filters are devices used to improve the quality of the water stored in tanks, whether overhead or ground tanks, by removing impurities, sediments and a wide range of contaminants. The purpose of this filter is to provide clean, healthy water for household use, including drinking, bathing and other everyday needs.

Types of Tank Water Filtration Systems

The types of water tank filters vary widely so they can suit the needs of every user and client. Among them is the mechanical type, dedicated solely to removing impurities, which sometimes relies on pressure through dedicated compressors; the chemical type, which focuses on eliminating every harmful and toxic chemical substance inside the water; and filters designed specifically to remove fine living organisms. In particular, we find certain filter types that combine all of these qualities together by linking all of these filters so that water enters from the main source and passes through several stages, each stage playing a specific role in filtering out one kind of contaminant.

The most important water filtration systems that water tank filters operate according to are the following:

The Mechanical System

This is a system used in the design and installation of a tank filter, and it specialises in removing large solid components from the water, such as sand and gravel. One of the most widespread examples of it on the market is the Triple Jumbo filter, whose early stages focus on eliminating all large sediments and pushing them out.

The Chemical System

We often find water that looks clear yet contains chemical contaminants, which we notice through a change in the taste and smell of the water. The cause may be pesticides, or the proximity of the water source to a factory that produces chemical pollution harmful to human health. This type of filtration system is dedicated to removing these harmful chemical contaminants, such as activated carbon filters that absorb all foul odours and chemicals from the water. The Nano filter, meanwhile, relies entirely on the chemical and physical properties of materials in its operation, giving us extremely accurate and remarkably effective results.

The Bacteria System

This is usually the five-micron cartridge system used to eliminate every form of microscopic living organism that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is the finest type of filter and the most thorough in purifying and refining water.

The Combined System

This is considered the best type of filter system design, as it brings several systems together to produce a complete setup in which the water passes through several stages, each specialising in removing a specific type of impurity. The water then comes out clear and of high quality. Among the most important water tank filters of this kind are the American Automatic filter system, the American Manual filter system and the Triple Jumbo filter system.

Criteria for Choosing Water Tank Filters

When you decide to buy and install a water tank filter, it is essential to be careful and to keep several principles and criteria in mind so that you can choose the best type of water tank filter for your needs. The most important of these criteria are:

Water quality:
As we mentioned earlier, there are many systems on which water tank filters are built, and each system specialises in filtering a certain type of water contaminant. It is therefore important to identify the type of water precisely so that we know which filter suits it and can achieve the best results.

Purpose of use:
You should know the main objective behind installing a water tank filter: is it for drinking, for washing and bathing, or for industrial and commercial needs? This makes it possible to determine whether you need a large system that delivers fine filtration or not.

Number of people using the filter:
We must take into account the number of individuals benefiting from the water tank filter, because the more water is drawn from the tank, the greater the need to refill it and, in turn, to run the filtration system. Here you should choose the most practical and efficient filter.

Maintenance requirements:
In truth, everyone wants to install a water tank filter that has few faults and does not require regular inspection and maintenance, so you must choose the manufacturer carefully and obtain a quality guarantee that ensures the company covers any filter faults after purchase, in order to reduce your costs and maintenance burdens.

Budget:
People’s financial means differ, and because the price of water tank filters varies, with the cost rising as the filter’s features and performance improve, you should decide exactly how much money you are setting aside to buy and install a tank filter so that you can easily choose what suits you.
