Suggest adding a section on home water filtration units as these are becoming an increasingly important consumer industry.

I agree with the comment above. I will attempt to write some content on the page to delineate which filtration technologies are used in commercial processing of water (waste water treatment, drinking water treatment etc.) and which are used in point-of-use/domestic applications. I think it would also be useful to include some of the technologies being developed for use in developing world applications (e.g. fired earth filters, coal ash filters etc.) Jimjamjak (talk) 14:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The use of mobile water filtration technology should be dealt with in this article i.e. water filters used by hikers etc.Jimjamjak (talk) 14:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the page is dealing with issues not specific to the United States, units of measurement should be given as metric units (see WP:UNITS for details).Jimjamjak (talk) 12:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are these just filters made of porcelain? How do they work? Why is the construction material significant? Drutt (talk) 11:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
