Review Of RO Water Pufiers

Water purification systems are in great demand today. Factors such as climate change and pollution have made the water that we consume unfit for consumption.

The most important factor in a water purifier is the technology that it uses. The most used water purification technology is the Reverse osmosis (RO) purification technology.

Reverse osmosis is a proven technology that has been used successfully on a commercial basis. One of the better known uses of RO is the removal of salt from seawater. Reverse osmosis units remove many inorganic contaminants from household drinking water supplies. The removal effectiveness depends on the contaminant and its concentration, the membrane selected, the water pressure and proper installation.

The semi-permeable membrane used in reverse osmosis contains tiny pores through which water can flow. The small pores of this membrane are restrictive to such organic compounds as salt and other natural minerals, which generally have a larger molecular composition than water.

These pores also restrict bacteria and disease-causing pathogens. Thus, reverse osmosis is incredibly effective at desalinating water and providing mineral-free water for use in photo or print shops. It is also effective at providing pathogen-free water.

In areas not receiving municipally treated water or at particular risk of waterborne diseases, reverse osmosis is an ideal process of contaminant removal. RO systems are used in two applications - industrial and household water treatment

Advantages of RO System:

1. Very convenient for commercial usage, as a much higher percent of water is recovered.

KENT - Pearl Purifier
2. Useful for places where there is a serious shortage of fresh water.

Disadvantages of RO System:

1. Water purified through only RO technology is distilled, has a bitter taste and has pH value lower than 7 which makes it slightly acidic.

2. RO technology uses a very fine membrane which has a pore size of 0.0001 micron. The process requires raw water to be forced at a very high pressure so that water passes through the small pores of the membrane, which blocks the bacteria, germs and other impurities from passing through. However, due to variation in day and night temperatures and high speed pressure, some of the pores of the membrane get enlarged after few months of continuous use, allowing harmful micro-organisms to easily pass through it, thereby making the process ineffective in the long run.

Kent has come up with mineral Ro technology that has all the advantages of Ro water purifiers but not the disadvantages. Kent mineral RO uses a combination of RO+UV+UF+TDS control system to provide the cleanest water possible. No wonder that it is being as the best water purifier in India.
