It is an increasingly health conscious people that you will witness today; thanks to the awareness drive of NGOs, discussion forums, blog posts, etc. It is more of the urbanites who use water purifiers; majority of the village folks are yet to follow the trend. Even in the cities, not all people use these purification systems.
The conventional water purifier still finds use in homes across villages and towns. People using such water purifiers are hardly aware that these are not effective in eliminating the new-age contaminants. Your tap water is full of microbiological, tough, and dissolved impurities consumption of which can lead to dangerous health hazards. Municipal water is no doubt treated in the water treatment plant but along with the aforesaid contaminants, you will also find here chlorine and other volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that are harmful for health. Get the best water purifier installed and look forward towards leading a healthy life ahead.
So, you know that you need a RO water purifier because the lab where you got your water tested gave you a report with recommendation of the use of reverse osmosis water purification system. But do you know about the working mechanism of the RO purifier? Well, amid all the purifying technologies introduced till date, it is one of the most used technologies not only in India but across the world. This water purifier involves use of an RO membrane with pores, each of which is approximately 0.0005 micron in size. There are two types of membranes, viz.
Thin Film Composite (TFC) and Cellulose Triacetate (CTA); TFC is more effective and hence it is widely used. During the purification process, all particles are left behind and only pure water passes through the pores. Generally, size of a bacteria ranges from 0.2 to 1 micron and that of virus 0.2 to 0.4 microns. The particles are then flushed out. The best water purifier of the RO category by and large comes with multiple filtering options such as use of granular activated carbon pre-filters, enhancing the life of the RO membrane.
