If drinking water is not clean, many serious diseases can occur. Nowadays, if potable water is not available from tap water, then excess filter and purifier is used by the body.
If drinking water is not clean, many serious diseases can occur. Nowadays, if drinking water is not available from tap water, then excessive use of filters and purifiers is weakening the immunity of the body. Nevertheless, the market of water filters is increasing day by day in the desire of pure water. In such a situation, if you are also thinking of buying a water purifier, then first you have to know which purifier will be right for you - RO, UV, UF, which of these techniques will be right, buy a purifier after knowing these things. ..
RO (reverse osmosis)
RO is a water purification technique in which water is purified by applying pressure. In this technique the impurities, particles and metals dissolved in the water are eliminated. RO purifiers should be used in areas where water has TDS (Total Dissolved Salt) i.e. water is saline. For example, RO purifier is suitable for borewell water or for coastal areas.
Plus Points
Nothing is impure in RO water.
- Blocks out bacteria and viruses.
It also removes impurities like chlorine and arsenic.
Negative Points
- Electricity is required.
- It works in tap water pressure higher than normal.
On an average, 30-40 percent of the water is wasted through the reject system of RO.
RO removes essential minerals from our drinking water.
Immunity decreases with prolonged use.
UV purification
UV means ultraviolet technology eliminates bacteria and viruses present in the water. It cannot clean chlorine and arsenic dissolved in water. It should be used only in areas where ground water is already sweet and only bacteria need to be eliminated. For example, suitable for hilly and low pollution areas. It would not be right to use it in coastal areas or in polluted cities.
plus points
- It is a membrane or layer in which the dissolved impurities are cleaned by adding water
- Kills all bacteria and viruses
- It can work under normal tap water pressure
Negative points
- Electricity is required.
Does not remove bacteria and viruses from water, but kills them.
- Does not clean dissolved impurities.
UF (Ultra Filtration)
UF purification system is a physical technology. It is a membrane or layer in which the dissolved impurities are cleaned by adding water.
plus points
- No electricity needed.
- Kills all bacteria and viruses out of the water.
- Can work under normal tap water pressure.
- Can also clean dissolved impurities.
Negative points
If the water is hard and the amount of chlorine and arsenic is high, then it is of no use.
Which purifier to take?
With so many brands and features of purifiers coming in, the most important thing to keep in mind is that whatever you finalize, it should be according to the supply water of your area. For example, if you are living in a metro city, then obviously the pollution level there will be high. This will also affect the water being supplied. In such a situation, take the purifier which has RO, UV, UF all three technologies. Along with this, since essential minerals are needed by the body, in such a situation, take only purifiers equipped with TDS (Total Dissolved Salt) controller technology, which has come in the market, so that the balance in the body remains.
