Difference between Water filter and Water purification

Water filter vs. Water purification

A water filter removes impurities by lowering contamination of water using a fine physical barrier, a chemical process, or a biological process. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from water.

Activated carbon

Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions.

Cryptosporidium

Cryptosporidium is a genus of apicomplexan parasitic alveolates that can cause a respiratory and gastrointestinal illness (cryptosporidiosis) that primarily involves watery diarrhea (intestinal cryptosporidiosis) with or without a persistent cough (respiratory cryptosporidiosis) in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient humans.
