Unhealthy levels of contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals and dust can be found in water we consume. These contaminants are found in both tap water, as well as in water obtained from underground sources.
Bottled water is one of the easiest and quickest way to obtain clean drinking water. However, in the long haul, this can be a costly endeavour. A water purifier is a more effective and pocket friendly option. Water purifiers remove suspended as well as dissolved impurities from water. However, the effectiveness of a water purifier at removing specific contaminants depends upon the technology used. So, it’s important to know what needs to be removed from your water. Here is a peek at some of the technologies used to purify water before you buy a water purifier.
1) Carbon water purifiers: Does your water smell, or look dirty? An activated carbon (AC) can solve the problem. Carbon water purifiers, can remove pesticides, chlorine and other persistent chemicals. The disadvantage of a conventional carbon purifier is that, it cannot be trusted to remove salts, nitrates, nitrites, and some metals. Carbon filter amasses the impurities that have been removed from the water. The accumulated impurities might attract bacteria to breed in it.
2) Ultra Violet (UV) disinfection: This technology is also known as electronic boiling. This technology successfully deactivates harmful micro-organisms like bacteria and viruses, but fails to properly deactivate the more harmful ones - cysts. Also, if the water purified through this technology is stored for a long time, then there are chances that the deactivated micro-organisms may reactivate again. This technology is often combined with others to make it more effective. This technology, however, has no effect on dissolved impurities such as rust, arsenic, fluoride, etc.
3) Reverse Osmosis: This is the most used technology in the business today. If you want to remove organic chemicals such as metals (including lead), nitrates, asbestos, cysts and minerals, this technology won’t disappoint you. The only disadvantage of RO is that it strips the water of all its important minerals, including the essential ones that are necessary for our bodies.
If you note carefully, each of the above mentioned technologies have limitations. Does that mean that you will never get the cleanest water possible? Kent certainly disagrees with this one. Keeping in mind the disadvantages of RO and UV technology, Kent has invented a new technology called the KENT's Mineral RO technology. This patented technology has all the benefits of the RO technology, while eliminating its limitations.
This technology uses the innovative TDS (total dissolved solids) control valve allowing the user to retain essential natural minerals present in drinking water. It ensures that RO purified water does not have a bitter taste and the Ph level is maintained at around 7. It also enables the user to adjust the amount of TDS in purified water according to one’s taste.
This technology is based on double purification wherein water after passing through RO, is also passed through an Ultra Violet (UV) radiation and Ultra Filtration (UF). Secondary purification by UV/UF ensures that when the pores of RO membrane open up and allow harmful micro-organisms to pass through, they get deactivated/filtered out by UV/UF.
