Air purifiers at a glance

It is a well documented fact that indoor air is more polluted from the air outside. This may be because of the fact that homes or offices today are virtually sealed to make use of air conditioner or heater more efficiently. This stops fresh air from circulating inside.

While some pollutants like pollen come from outdoors, some pollutants are created indoors itself. Carbon monoxide, for example, is usually the result of heat combustion produced by furnaces, cigarettes or auto exhaust. Cooking vapour is another such example of pollutant created indoors.

Here are other pollutants present in the air -

1) Microbes: Germs, Viruses, Bacteria and mould spores
2) Odours: From cigarette smoke, cooking and pets
3) Gases and Chemical Fumes: Chemical fumes from wall paint, formaldehyde, nail treatment products, etc.
4) Particulates: Allergens, dust, dust mites, pollen, particles in smoke

All these suspended substances make the air unhealthy and put our health to great risk. Therefore, we need an air purifier to reduce these impurities and purify the air that we breathe.

Devices that reduce pollutants such as dust, dirt and pollen grains are known as air purifiers. They can help in reducing second hand tobacco smoke. Your children and other loved ones are often subjected to inhalation of tobacco smoke in your home. If you want to avoid that, use of an air purifier is suggested. You will be pleased with result.

It is easy to see why air purifiers in India are in huge demand. These machines benefit families who own pets. Many quality air purifiers can trap pet hair as well as the stink from their droppings, both of which are great health hazards. People who own business related to pets and healthcare, for example vets, pet shops or even hospitals, should use one. Clean and fresh air also makes you feel energetic.

With the rise of pollution levels in India and increase in number of cases of asthma, sales of air purifiers have reached a new height.

KENT Ozone Air Purifiers produce Ozone Gas, a highly reactive oxidant with the exceptional power to kill Bacteria, Viruses & harmful germs present in air.

A vivid description of RO water purifiers

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification technology that uses a semi permeable membrane to remove impurities from drinking water. In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, a colligative property that is driven by chemical potential, a thermodynamic parameter. Reverse osmosis can remove many types of molecules and ions from solutions, including bacteria, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of clean drinking water.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification process is essential and effective in reducing harmful dissolved impurities like arsenic, fluorides, heavy metals, etc. During purification, conventional RO water purifiers waste a very high percentage of water (around 80%) while retaining only 20% of purified water. The amount of water wasted was serious concern for Kent, keeping in mind the fact that many people do not have access to water, leave alone clean drinking water.

Keeping all these factors in mind, Kent has developed an innovative and patented technology, which offers no 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 remaining rejected water is stored in a separate ‘Reject Water Tank’, which can be utilized by consumers for household purposes. The final result is no water wastage. This technology can be found in Kent Supreme water purifier.

This innovative machine is backed up with Kent's patented Mineral RO technology that provides double purification of RO + UV + UF. This technology removes even dissolved impurities such as chemicals and salts. The TDS controller maintains essential natural minerals, thereby providing safe drinking water, which is ideal for consumption. Unlike UV and only RO purifiers, Kent Supreme removes dissolved impurities like chemicals, pesticides, rust, etc. in water while retaining essential natural minerals that are required in drinking water.

Kent Supreme can purify water from different sources such as bore-wells, overhead storage tanks, water tankers and even municipal taps. The technology in Kent Supreme allows the user to adjust the TDS level of purified water and thus breaks the myth that RO purifier can only be used for raw water having TDS level greater than 500 ppm.

The fully automatic operation present in Kent Supreme allows the purifier to begin purification whenever water level in the purified and water storage tank falls below maximum. Level sensors ensure that the purifier is automatically shut off when either of the tanks is full. This ensures trouble free operation without the need of manual intervention.

All these features make Kent Supreme one of the best water purifiers in India.

The Most Effective Method of Obtaining Clean Water

We are living in the age of industrialization and development. Everywhere you look, you can find traces of pollutants and their source as well. The sight of towering chimneys spewing black and contaminant laced smoke is sight that we all are familiar with, isn’t it? All these methods of water purification are capable of removing contaminants from water. However, some advanced water purifiers, like Kent’s Mineral RO prefer using a combination of RO+UV+UF+TDS control to provide clean drinking water.

Apart from spewing smoke into the atmosphere, many of these industries are conclusively interconnected to our water system. Many chemical factories need to discharge waste. This waste often ends up in our rivers or lakes. Laws of the country have not been enough to deter these companies from doing so.

Farming may seem safe, however, we often fail to notice that the fertilizers and pesticides that is used during farming consists of harmful chemicals. These chemicals seep through the ground and contaminate the ground water sources.

The above-mentioned reasons are enough to encourage one to drink purified water. There are two different ways of obtaining clean drinking water. Here’s a look at them.

1) Bottled water: Many people searching an alternative to the contaminated tap water find solace in bottled water. However, studies suggest that bottled water may not be as safe as it is often perceived to be. In fact, the majority of evidence shows that it’s worse for your health than tap water. The issue with plastic is that it leaches toxins into the water it is holding, a fact that has been linked to different types of cancer. It is also noted that many water-bottling companies merely sell tap water in the name of purified mineral water.

2) Water purifiers: The best way to obtain clean drinking water is by installing a water purifier. Water purifiers are devices that use a purification technology to eliminate contaminants in water. These life saving devices can use either of the below mentioned purification technologies.

1) Reverse Osmosis technology (RO)
2) Ultra Violet technology (UV)
3) Gravity based UF technology

All these methods of water purification are capable of removing contaminants from water. However, some advanced water purifiers, like Kent’s Mineral RO prefer using a combination of RO+UV+UF+TDS control to provide clean drinking water. This unique combination also ensures that minerals that essential to our body are not lost.

Kent RO Systems Limited is a 21st century healthcare products company with a vision to make the world a healthy and a happy place. Pioneers in bringing the revolutionary Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology to India, KENT started its operations from Noida, India in 1999.

Today, the group is recognized worldwide as a company that produces some of the best water purifiers in India.
