  • Every sip of water we drink passes through an unseen battlefield. Whether you drink tap, bottled, or filtered water, the vast majority of it is filtered against contaminants we can't see. But what exactly happens inside these filters as they work day in and day out?

The article from MSN discusses a study where CT scans were used to examine the internal workings of water filters, revealing how they trap contaminants. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, used these scans to visualize the accumulation of particles like bacteria, viruses, and chemicals within the filter's porous structure. The study found that over time, as the filter captures more contaminants, its pores can become clogged, reducing its efficiency. This insight helps in understanding the lifespan and maintenance needs of water filters, showing that while they are effective, they require regular replacement or cleaning to maintain optimal performance. The findings also suggest potential improvements in filter design to enhance longevity and efficiency.
