by Water Purifier Anjan Sengupta (Service Head)

Water purifiers safeguard your family from waterborne illnesses, so make sure you get the proper one for your needs.

On the market, there are a variety of water purifier in India. It can be difficult to grasp their functions and technical jargon. For your convenience, this water purifier shopping guide includes extensive comparisons of several water purification systems. 

What is the Full Form of RO, UV, and MF?

  • RO Full-Form – Reverse Osmosis

  • UV Full-Form – Ultraviolet

  • MF Full-Form – Micro Filtration

Filters out all the Bacteria and Viruses from the Water

All bacteria and viruses are killed, but their shells remain in the water.

Filters out only bacteria

High water pressure is required. As a result, all RO purifiers have an additional water pump.

RO + MF basically employs two separate membranes of different micron sizes to filter out all the unwanted material from water; nevertheless, it may still miss any water-borne viruses that aren't eliminated by membranes.

Water is passed through a RO membrane first, then UV light is used to kill or deactivate the viruses. This method is far more technically efficient than the previous one.

RO water purifiers also require post-treatment such as a UV column, a post-carbon filter, and a mineralizer, among other things. All of these post-RO filtrations and water treatment steps are often included to ensure complete purification and to remove any remaining organic and inorganic pollutants in the water. The flavor of water can also be altered by the RO membrane, making it hard and strange. Taste enhancers or mineralizer cartridges are employed as a result of the post-RO activated carbon filter.

Here are a few RO+UV and RO+MF to shop for: 

HUL Pureit Classic RO+MF

TDS Removal up to 1800 PPM, Rated Voltage 165-240 V ac, Food safe, non-toxic, engineering grade plastics, Advanced 6-stage Technology, Advanced Voltage Fluctuation Guard, Convenient 5 Litres Storage Tank, Advanced 6-stage Technology, Advanced Voltage Fluctuation Guard,

6-stage advanced technology: RO + UV technology provides advanced 6-stage purification.

Voltage Fluctuation Guard (Advanced Voltage Fluctuation Guard): This protects your purifier from voltage fluctuations as high as 300 volts and operates in low voltages as low as 150 VAC.

5 liters of storage capacity: Because the Pureit Advance RO + MF features a 5-liter storage tank, you can enjoy cleaned water even if you don't have access to energy.

Removal of TDS up to 1800 PPM: It softens and sweetens hard water up to 1800 ppm. Break Resistance Tape: This product has been tested up to 50,000 times to ensure that it will endure a long period. 

HUL Pureit Advanced RO+ UV

Specified Voltage RO + UV Filter, Advanced 6-stage Technology, Auto Shut Off, Food safe, non-toxic, 165-240 V ac Plastics that are suitable for use in engineering, 12 liters per hour flow rate

6-stage advanced technology: RO + UV technology provides advanced 6-stage purification.

Advanced Voltage Fluctuation Guard: This protects your purifier from rapid voltage fluctuations up to 300 volts and operates in low voltages as low as 150 VAC.

Convenient Storage Tank (5 Litres): Because the Pureit Advance RO + MF* features a 5-liter storage tank, you can enjoy purified water even if you don't have access to energy.

TDS Up to 1800 PPM removal: It softens and sweetens hard water up to 1800 ppm. Tap to Break Resistance: It has been tested up to 50,000 times to ensure that it will endure a long time.

The Germkill performance standard is as follows: Meets strict international criteria for microbiologically safe drinking water, such as those set forth by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Conclusion:

It is not wise to rely on a single filtration technology because each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. A multi-stage purification technique with several purification technologies is required.

As a result, it is best to buy a water purifier online with a combination of RO, UV, and UF filters, as well as a TDS controller/modulator or Mineralizer. Most Indian houses can benefit from these water filters.
