INTRODUCTION
The water purifier is essential in today's world because it ensures the cleanliness and purity of water and maintains its quality. More than 80% of water is wasted by purifiers when the world is facing water crises day by day. So here, it becomes necessary to find the right water purifier for the home. There are many brands of water purifiers on the market, so this makes us very confused when selecting an ideal water purifier.
So here is a guide for you that provides step-by-step guidelines that you must keep in mind while buying the right water purifier for your family.
POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE SELECTING A RIGHT WATER PURIFIER
1. Source and quality of your drinking water
You should first check the source and quality of water; you should check hardness, salinity, and TDS.
TDS (total dissolved solids) is a term that describes the proportion of inorganic and organic matter that is present in water.
Below 200 ppm TDS is considered good water. Municipality water has 200 ppm below TDS, which is good in quality, but still, there is the presence of bacteria and viruses, which you can remove by purifier. 200 ppm to 3000 ppm TDS is present in groundwater.
2. Type of water purifier
There are a total of three types of water purifiers
- RO (Reverse osmosis)
- UF (ultrafilter)
- UV (ultraviolet)
Some purifiers are a combination of RO and UV. A low TDS value needs UF or UV or both.
| TDS |
TYPE OF WATER PURIFIER NEEDED |
| 50-200 ppm |
UF, UV, UF+UV |
| 200-500 ppm |
RO, RO + UV |
| Above 1000 ppm |
RO, RO + UV |
3. Water storag
Usually, a person drinks 2 to 4 liters of water daily. So here, you need to see how many members are there in your family, so you need to buy a purifier that can store your required amount of water.
