Drinking clean water is an essential part of life and keeps an individual hydrated, but tap water often contains impurities and bacteria that can be harmful to a person’s health. This is where water purifiers come in, using advanced filtration technologies to remove contaminants and ensure pure, great-tasting water. But how exactly do these purifiers work? Let’s explore the different purification methods that make your drinking water safe and healthy.
The Fundamental Purification Steps in Water Purifiers
1. Sediment Filtration
Filtration through a sediment filter culls the coarse impurities, dust sand, and rust before the fine purification steps are performed. Thus, large-scale filtration prevents debris accumulation on fine membranes.
2. Activated Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon filtration works like a magic wand to extract everything from water: chlorine, pesticides, organic matter, and a certain class of health-threatening chemicals called VOCs.
3. Reverse Osmosis Filtration
This semi-permeable material is used sparingly to wash out dissolved impurities-from toxic heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury-to salts and pathogenic bacteria from water.
4. UV (Ultraviolet) Purification
Ultraviolet purification is the mode of exposing water to ultraviolet rays, which will destroy all types of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, without chemicals, and will make that water biologically safe since pathogens causing diseases transmitted by water cannot function anymore.
5. Ultrafiltration technology.
Some models of purifiers come with an additional ultra-filtration filter that can be added as an extra feature to completely remove the bacteria and suspended particles, including cysts.
6. Mineralization & pH Balance
Essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium are sometimes lost in the filtration process. In advanced models of water purifiers, a mineraliser technology is built to revive those essential minerals that enhance taste as well as deliver health benefits.
7. Post-Carbon Filtration
The post-carbon filter gives the water the final finishing, removing residual impurities for enhanced taste and serving it for drinking.
