How can you avoid water borne diseases?

 Drinking water from a water purification system has become a norm. Parents are relying on water purification systems for clean drinking water. Hygiene is the ultimate gateway of being healthy. And purified water has made its place in our living. People are opting for contemporary methods rather than traditional purification systems.

Pollutants in drinking water can no longer be practically ignored. These harmful contaminants pollute drinking water and cause many diseases. Toddlers especially are severely affected by these diseases.

Good Health and well-being of kids and the elderly are some of the primary concerns of parents today. With the increase in the number of water-borne diseases, parents are relying on water purification systems for clean drinking water.

Where do the pollutants come from?

1) Due to heavy industrialization, harmful wastes by factories are often dumped either in the air or directly in water.
2) Water pipelines that distribute water are often rusted or leaking. When water comes in contact with such pipe-lines, they are contaminated.
3) Our over-reliance on the usage of pesticide, insecticide and fertilizers has led to water pollution. Harmful chemicals from pesticides seep through the soil and come in contact with the ground water.
4) Improper water storage by municipal bodies also leads to water contamination.

Impurities can be classified into two parts -

1) Suspended Impurities - Physical impurities which remain suspended in water such as dust, sand, dead insects and harmful micro-organisms like bacteria, viruses and cyst are termed as suspended impurities. They lead to discoloration of water and could also cause diseases.
2) Dissolved Impurities - These are the chemical impurities which get dissolved and mixed with water. They cannot be removed by simple filtration techniques and require advance technology for removal. Chemicals like, rust, pesticides, insecticides and salts of metals like arsenic, fluoride, iron, calcium etc. are included in these impurities.

Elimination of both these impurities using simple methods like boiling, cloth filtration and adding chlorine to water is not sufficient. Using advanced water purifiers, such as the ones that use a combination of RO+UV+UF+TDS control can be more helpful. Water purification devices like these not only remove impurities but also retain all-important minerals.

While purchasing a water filter, ensure that you pay attention to the below mentioned points:

1) The purification capacity.
2) The technology used i.e. Reverse Osmosis, Ultra Violet (UV), Gravity based UF etc.
3) Wall mountable, table top or under the counter fitted.
4) Power source used.

Water purification processes by such advanced technology are essential in preventing diseases caused by water. Kent, one of India’s top brands has facilitated and contributed in providing these advanced machines for the safe consumption of water for humans.

How to purify water to make it healthy?

Right from the days of having water from wells and rains, to purifying it with cloth, boiling it and carbon cleaning, we have come a long way in water purifying techniques. With every era passing by, we have reached a point where great innovations of its time, in water purification, have failed to reach satisfactory results. Not that the innovations were poor, but the quality of water in the ecosystem is deteriorating by the day. Advanced water purification technologies like UF filtration, UV filtration and RO technology have been in trend. However, every technology has its pros and cons.

So what is to be done to have safe drinking water, one may ask? Everyone has a water purifier at their homes, work places, etc. and almost everyone is under the impression that it is enough. Well, actually it is! Nothing more than having a water purifier can be done on daily basis to have safe drinking water. The matter of concern is that which kind of technology your purifier uses. If it’s on just carbon cleaning, then you have to realize that this technology is well past its prime. It is however effective if you use it in combination with other water purification technologies.

Since then, advanced water purification technologies like UF filtration, UV filtration and RO technology have been in trend. However, every technology has its pros and cons. UF helps in getting rid of bacteria and cysts but has no effect on viruses. UV eliminates bacteria, cysts and viruses but can do nothing about dissolved impurities. RO technology is so potent that it not only removes microbes and dissolved impurities but also takes away the essential minerals of water. So if your water purifier is working on one of these or more techniques, you probably are not getting healthy water to drink.

Some may argue that if a water purifier is functioning on all the techniques mentioned above, we are getting purified and clean water. But what good is a glass of water that only quenches your thirst deriving you from it essential minerals? The application of a purifier should not be just to make it fit for drinking; it should be to make it healthy for drinking.

Kent, a leading brand in water purifiers has to their name a technology that completes all the short comings in water purification segment. With raw water passing through sediment filtration and carbon cleaning, they also go through UF, UV and RO. But the concept of TDS (Totally Dissolved Solids) control which they follow, they manage to retain the minerals of water required for our body. TDS are basically all the minerals, ions and metals present in water. But by ‘TDS Controller’ they eliminate all the heavy metals and control the retaining of minerals. Which makes their technology an apt way of purifying water. So keep up with the pace of this modern world and choose the best for your health.

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?

If you have heard a lot about RO technology and are worried about some of the rumoured side effects it might be having, then this blog is just for you.

Purification of water

Previously and even now, water is purified using following methods

• Distillation
• Boiling
• Chemical treatments

These methods remove major impurities but fail to remove some impurities, which could be harmful for the human body.

Electronic water purifier

Electronic Water Purifiers are the best option to purify water as they use the following technologies to provide you with 100% safe drinking water.

UF – Ultra Filtration

UV – Ultra Violet

RO – Reverse Osmosis

TDS – Total Dissolved Solids

Reverse osmosis has a reputation of being the ultimate in water purification technology. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane filtration technique that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions, by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane.It removes a large amount of contaminants and reduces arsenic, heavy metals and other dissolved impurities.

This technique gained a lot of attention when people started feeling the need for protection against water pollution, for their family.

Best water purifier in India

Make your drinking water 100% safe! Follow this simple trick

There is nothing purer than naturally filtered spring water. One has to strive hard to enjoy ‘natural spring water’.

The problem with most of the bottled water is that it is just municipal water poured into a bottle and marketed cleverly. So how can you get fresh filtered water at home?Let’s look at the process of water purification for the answer.

Earth is our water’s natural filter

How natural spring water is filtered and why it tastes so darn good?

Earth’s water is recirculated through the process of absorption, evaporation and rainfall. We have been consuming same water your ancestors used and your great-great grandchildren will be consuming the same water as you.

As water falls on desserts, forests and wetlands it flows through the layer of dirt, gravel and sand. These layers of the earth are the natural sediments that filter the spring water. But when the rainwater falls in city, the case becomes entirely different which includes some cause of global warming.

Civilized areas are paved with transportation routes, and rainwater cannot soak into the ground to be filtered by the earth. The city pollution gets absorbed during the evaporation cycle, the running water also collects ground pollutants such as fertilizers, motor oil, paint, pesticides, human and pet waste, and other harmful sediments like rust.

Water purification at home

There are multiple reasons behind contamination of water. If any of the pipes in your municipality’s water
conveyance system or your house are old, then your water may contain contaminants leaching from these old metal pipes and pipe joint solders. What’s worse is that some of these chemicals can become more toxic when combined.

Kent designs best water purifiers based on innovative water purifying technologies with 0% water wastage, with extra ‘reject water’ which can be used for cleaning and other household purposes.

The first step for consuming 100% safe water at your house is through Kent Purification Systems. These systems are equipped to remove the heavy metals, found in your municipality water, by attracting them out of water. However, Kent purified water retains the essential healthy minerals required by the human body.
