Filtering uses small openings in something called (media) that could be anything from a mesh screen to synthetic or organic products. These small opening cause things that are bigger (like dirt particles) to stay on one side of the filter. There are problems with filters though because the amount of stuff that they can remove is limited by how much dirt is in the water. As the filter gets full, it becomes unable to let water through it. Filters can remove things as small as 5 micron. However there is no mechanical filter that removes chemical contamination. Also some bacteria can pass through these too. In that case you need something like reverse osmosis or distillation.
