What are Water Purifiers?
Water purifiers are devices designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and harmful microorganisms from water, ensuring it is safe for consumption. Different technologies are used in water purification depending on the quality of the source water and regional requirements.
Common purification technologies include:
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) for removing dissolved salts, heavy metals, and chemicals
- Ultraviolet (UV) purification for killing bacteria and viruses
- Ultrafiltration (UF) for removing suspended solids and pathogens
- Activated carbon filtration for improving taste and removing odor
- Multi-stage purifiers combining two or more technologies for enhanced safety
These devices are used in households, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and educational institutions.
