A water purifier is an investment that ensures the health and well-being of your family. With various types of water filters available in the market, it is essential to understand their functions and choose those that suit your needs.
Water filters eliminate undesired pollutants from water, such as sand, taste and odour, water hardness, and bacteria, resulting in higher-quality water.
In this article, we will dive into the world of water purifiers and explore different types of water filters and how they work.
Types of Water Filters
Here are the most common types of water filters:
- I-Filter
- Chemi-Block
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane
- UV E-Boiling
- Ultra Filtration
- Alkaline Cartridge
- TDS Regulator
How do They work?
1. I-Filter
This filter removes fine suspended particles such as dust, dirt, mud, and sand from water. In most cases, the I-Filter acts as a first line of defense. Additionally, they ensure that the water available for purification is free of large contaminants.
2. Chemi-Block
This filter reduces excess chlorine and organic impurities in the water. Additionally, this filter absorbs bad taste and odour. This means water purifiers with Chemi-Block can remove all chemical and organic impurities, along with bad taste and odour from any water source.
3. Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane
RO membrane uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants from the water. The water is forced through the membrane, which filters out impurities such as heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and dissolved salts. RO water filters are popular due to their ability to purify water with high levels of dissolved solids and contaminants.
4. UV E-Boiling
UV E-Boiling disinfects the water by eliminating waterborne disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, thereby, making it safe to drink. It delivers water that is pure and safe as water boiled for 20+ minutes.
5. Ultra Filtration (UF)
This filter imparts crystal clear clarity to drinking water in addition to making it safe from viral or bacterial contamination.
6. Alkaline Cartridge
Alkaline cartridge instantly increase the pH level, making it alkaline. This cartridge also contains activated carbon which makes water safer, healthier and tastier by removing contaminants like Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
7. TDS Regulator
This filter adjusts the TDS of purified water to provide healthy water always. So, water purifiers with a TDS regulator can adjust the purification process as per the water source, ensuring safe and pure water at all times.
Most water purifiers typically feature the above-mentioned seven filters, but Aquaguard water purifiers stand out with an additional eighth filter that ensures the retention of essential minerals – the Active Copper Booster Technology. This unique filter infuses the right amount of copper into your water.
Copper is known to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties that help to support healthy metabolism. Aquaguard water purifiers make it easier for you to get copper-infused water without any hassle with their Active Copper Booster Technology.
Take Away
Choosing the right water filter for your home depends on the quality of your water source and the contaminants you need to remove. It is essential to analyze your water quality and understand the functioning of different types of water filters before deciding.
Some households may require a combination of filtration methods. The water purifiers by Aquaguard are a one-stop solution for all your water needs as they have a wide range of filters other than RO like UV, UF, MTDS, Active Copper Booster technology, MTDS and more. Using Aquaguard’s water purifiers ensures the highest level of water safety and quality for your family.
