What Are the Different Ways to Purify Water?

Water is life. Every human on earth requires at least 20 to 50 liters
water for drinking, cooking, cleaning. Polluted water isn’t just
dirty—it’s deadly. According to a research, nearly 1.8 million peoples
die every year from water borne disease. So clean water is necessity of
every human.
There are various water purifying technologies available in market and
each technology has its merits and demerits. Below I have mentioned all
the available water purifying technologies that currently used by many
companies to clean your water.
Boiling
Boiling is one of the cheapest and well-known method of water
purification. The high temperature of water kills bacteria and viruses
however it doesn’t remove any solid particles, sediment, dirt and other
chemical contaminants.
Distillation
Distillation is one of the oldest methods of water treatment. It is an
effective method for reducing impurities from water. It is the process
of separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by
using selective boiling and condensation. This process removes most of
the impurities from water. It is commonly used for removing nitrates,
bacteria, sodium, hardness, dissolved solids, most organic compounds,
and lead.
Reverse Osmosis Water Purification
Reverse osmosis
is one of the most effective and economical technologies available for
removing a range of impurities from water. It works on a simple and
straight forward process. It pushes water with high pressure through a
semi permeable membrane which filters out impurities. During the
process, the contaminants like majority of dissolved salts, organic
matter, bacteria and pyrogens do not pass the filter membrane get
flushed out of the system leaving pure drinking water for the user.
UV Water Purification
Ultraviolet water purification
is the most effective method for disinfecting bacteria from the water.
UV light emits enough radiation to kill the DNA in bacteria and other
microorganisms. One of the biggest advantages of using a UV water
purifier is that it is very cost effective at killing a majority of the
harmful microbes associated with most common water-borne illnesses.
Activated carbon
Activated Carbon is a brilliant technology for water purifying and
solves many water issues. Activated carbon filters are small pieces of
carbon. When the water flows through active carbon filters the chemicals
stick to the carbon resulting in purer water output.
It’s ability to remove toxins, odor and bad taste from tap water, makes
it perfect to use for household and business.
