Decoding the best RO water purifier

It is a well known fact that water is essential for our survival.  According to researchers, the Earth contains about 70% water. Only a small portion of this huge percentage is actually fit for consumption, which is not enough for us. Availability of clean drinking water has become a luxury for us and it is imperative that we do everything in our power to conserve it. Water which comes from a conventional source comes with a lot of risks and health hazards because it contains some impurities like nitrates,  phosphates, heavy metals, microorganisms and dirt.

The first and most obvious benefit of having a water purifier is that it will eliminate the impurities that can damage your health. Water which goes through a purifier will contain lesser bacteria, fewer heavy metals and lesser chemical pollutants as compared to water that comes straight from the tap. Technology has gifted us many inventions that have made our life easier, simpler and flexible. Reverse Osmosis water purifier by Kent too is a gift of technology. It is an eco-friendly water purifier that saves water on the go. It is widely considered as the best RO water purifier in India.

Reverse osmosis technology pressurizes and passes impure water through a semi-permeable membrane. RO technology is probably the best purification technology known to mankind. It effectively removes all harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses and cysts. When it is used in combination with other filters (sediment and carbon), it successfully removes all other suspended impurities from water including dissolved gases and organic impurities.

The biggest advantage of this technology is that it is able to remove more than 99% of dissolved impurities such as chemicals, rust, salts of heavy metals, pesticides and insecticides present in water. In fact, RO is the only affordable technology that can remove dissolved impurities from water.

RO technology removes substantial amounts of most inorganic chemicals such as salts, metals and
minerals; micro-organisms and various organic chemicals. The quality of the membrane and the pressure of the water helps in determining how effectively the water separates form these contaminants.

However, RO devices have a drawback. Their process is so efficient that all the dissolved salts (minerals) from the drinking water are filtered out, including the essential ones necessary for our body. Water purified through only RO technology is distilled, has a bitter taste (because of no essential minerals) and has pH value lower than 7 - making it slightly acidic.

Further, 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, preventing bacteria, germs and other impurities from passing through. However, due to variation in day and night temperatures, high speed and pressure, some of the pores of the membrane get enlarged after a few months of continuous use. Thus, allowing harmful micro-organisms to easily pass through it and thereby making the process ineffective in the long run.

Kent has come up with a unique solution for this problem – the ‘Kent Mineral RO’ water purifier. This water filter uses a combination of RO+UV+UF+TDS to provide the cleanest water possible. Other innovative products by Kent include portable water purifiers, Tap guard, etc.

Conseriving water via water purification! Way to go Kent

It all started when I was dinning in one of restaurants in Mumbai. I noticed that we have ordered a large bottle of water, and half of it was left wasted. I looked around. Many people seemed to be doing the same. On one hand, I saw people who had taken the amount of Rs. 20 for granted and didn’t care about water that wasted stood wasted in the bottles they had ordered. On on the other hand I was imagining the people of Africa who suffer severe poverty and famine. But not too long after this experience I noticed that many restaurants have started using Kent Purifiers, in an effort to save drinking water.

Have you ever thought of what is going to happen if the Earth runs out of drinking water? Everyone prays for plentiful rainfall each year. The world knows that we are going to run out of drinking water.  Each and every day we come across people wasting water but they aren’t the only ones. We as consumers are also equally responsible for wasting water. We waste water by bathing under a shower instead of using water from buckets to clean our body. We even wash the car with water sprays rather than using bucket water. Using toilet flushes leads to about 3.5 – 7 gallons of water wastage.

The water authorities have come up with many ways and techniques of conserving and storing water for future purpose. Waste water treatment is one of the methods by which authorities are trying to save and conserve water for a better prospect.Waste water mostly originates from domestic, industrial, commercial and agricultural activities.

Municipal waste water which is also known as ‘sewage’ is now used for irrigational purpose. But we are still looking for answers of how to save drinking water. Kent water purifier has managed to bring out the essence of safe drinking water.


Why safe drinking water is essential? 

Pure drinking water is a basic requirement for living beings in this world. Imagine people without drinking water. This has already been happening in places like Africa. Still many people are not cautious. Extra efforts have to be taken to ensure sustainable plans for adequate water preservation.

Here are few things once can do to save drinking water:

- When boiling hot water make sure you know how much water to boil. This will save water and electricity/gas.
- Many times we pour a whole glass water, thinking we will finish it. Half a glass down we quench our thirst and throw the rest of the water. So always know how much water you want to drink and then pour only that much quantity in a glass.
- Leaving the tap running while we are doing the dishes or using a dishwasher also wastes a lot of water. Avoid both.
- Consider bringing home a water filter like Kent water purifier, instead of drinking bottled water. This will be an eco-friendly move as by not consuming packed water you will reduce the amount of plastic for making water bottles. This principal can also be applied at the workplace by installing a water fountain attached to a water purifier to get safe drinking water without much wastage.

Why KENT purifier? 

KENT has developed an innovative and patented technology which offers 0% water wastage in RO purifiers. The heart of this technology is a computer controlled process wherein the membrane is washed automatically and more than 50% of water intake is recovered as purified water. The balance rejected water is stored in a separate ‘Reject Water Tank’. This water can be utilized by consumers for various other household purposes. The net result is 0% water wastage.

Kent water purifiers protect your family by providing it with safe drinking water, all year round. No wonder Kent water purifiers have worked their way to the top so easily. With such an innovative mindset who wouldn’t?

Water Filters: The need of the hour!

Accessibility to clean drinking water has been a source of concern for many. Reports of how dangerous metals like lead, and various chemicals being detected in our drinking water, keep surfacing every now and then. Water has been polluted to a great extent due to industrialization, the use of pesticides and fertilizers, deforestation, drought, poor maintenance of water bodies, etc.

In small doses, consumption of heavy metals and other impurities is permissible. However, if consumed daily in large doses, they can turn into a permanent health problems having significant impact on your life.

Traditional water purification methods such as boiling and cloth filtration have limited results. They are either effective on dissolved impurities or on suspended ones. Due to these reasons, nowadays many people seek purified water, and the most economical way to get it, is by bringing home a good water filter.

Drinking water purified by a water purifier ensures you are not consuming any impurities that can damage your health. Water that has gone through a purifier will have lesser bacteria, fewer heavy metals and lesser chemical pollutants, as compared to the water fresh out of the tap.

Apart from removing impurities and providing safe drinking water, many water purifiers also remove the unpleasant taste and odor of the water (if any). The more advanced water purifiers, such as Kent’s Mineral RO, remove both suspended and dissolved impurities along with TDS. These water purifiers ensure important minerals are retained in the water during the purification process, thus improving its taste and texture. This water when used for cooking results in a huge difference in the taste of certain food items.

The highly advanced water purifier by Kent uses a combination of RO + UV + UF + TDS control to
provide the safest drinking water possible.

Financially speaking, the benefits of a water purification system can be summed up in a single phrase - “It's a lot cheaper, and probably better than bottled water.” Bottled water, in many cases, is actually just regular tap water that is run through a commercial water purifier. A large chunk of what you pay for a bottle of water is used for its advertising, and fancy packaging.

This has led to the emergence of companies like Kent, which have won the trust of many with its reliable and innovative water purifiers.
