Water Purifier: Types and Benefit

Water Purifier: Types and Benefit

Water purifier is an apparatus or device used to clean water by removing impurities, contaminants, and harmful substances so that it is safe for use and consumption, it can be used to filter out contaminants such as chemicals, bacteria and suspended solid. It traps particles, bacteria and making water safe to drink.


Water Purifier

Types of Water Purifier


1. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Purifiers: -
  • Utilizes a semi-permeable membrane for the elimination of dissolved salts, heavy metals, and impurities.
  • Best for use in places with hard water.
  • Electrifies and results in some wastewater.
2. Ultraviolet (UV) Purifiers: -
  • Uses UV radiation for the killing of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
  • Does not filter out dissolved solids or heavy metals.
  • Ideal to use in locations with microbiologically unsafe water but low TDS (Total Dissolved Solids).
3. Ultrafiltration (UF) Purifiers: -
  • Utilizes a membrane to sieve bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
  • Functions without electricity.
4. Activated Carbon Purifiers: -
  • Uses carbon filters to eliminate chlorine, pesticides, and taste.
  • Does not eliminate dissolved solids or microbes.
5. Gravity-Based Water Purifiers: -
  • Utilizes activated carbon and UF for filtering water without electricity.
  • Only apt for use where low TDS water is found.
  • Low-cost and low maintenance. 
6. Sediment Filters: -
  • Removes particulate matter such as sand, dirt, and rust.
  • Tends to be used as a pre-filter in other purification systems.
7. Electrolysis-Based Purifiers (E-Boiling): -
  • Uses electric charges to destroy germs and bacteria.
  • Typically used in conjunction with other filtration techniques.

Components of Water Purifier

components of water purifier


1. Pre-Filter: -
  • Removes bigger particles such as sand, dust, and rust.
  • Protects the major filtration elements.
2. Sediment Filter: -
  • Catches finer particles like dust, mud, and suspended solids.
  • Extends the lifespan of other filters.
3. Activated Carbon Filter: -
  • Removes chlorine, odorous taste, organic chemicals, and pesticides.
  • Enhances taste and odor of water.
4. RO (Reverse Osmosis) Membrane (In RO Purifiers): -
  • Removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses.
  • Operates by pushing the water through a semi-permeable membrane.
5. UV (Ultraviolet) Chamber (In UV Purifiers): -
  • Destroys bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
6. UF (Ultrafiltration) Membrane (In UF Purifier): -
  • Filters out bacteria, cysts, and sediments.
  • Functions without power.
7. Post-Carbon Filter: -
  • Improves taste and quality of the purified water.
  • Filters out any remaining chemicals.
8. Mineralizer / TDS Controller (In Some Purifiers: -
  • Adds vital minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
  • Balances the flavor and medical value of the water.
9. Storage Tank: -
  • Holds purified water for convenient use.
  • Made of food-grade plastic or stainless steel in most cases.

10. Pump & Solenoid Valve (In Electric Purifiers: -
  • Pump raises water pressure for the RO membrane.
  • Solenoid valve regulates water flow.
11. Auto Shut-Off System: -
  • Shuts off water purification when the tank is full.
  • Avoids water wastage and electrical damage.



Benefits of Water Purifier

1. Eliminates Contaminants: -
  • Destroys harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
  • Filters out heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury.
  • Eliminates chemicals such as chlorine, pesticides, and industrial chemicals.
2. Enhances Water Taste & Odor: -
  • Removes chlorine and other compounds causing bad taste and odor.
  • Delivers fresh and clean-tasting water.
3. Encourages Better Health: -
  • Prevents waterborne illnesses such as diarrhea, typhoid, and cholera.
  • Maintains kidney health by minimizing toxic components in water.

4. Saves Money: -

  • Reduces the cost of medicine by minimizing water-borne illnesses.
5. Eco-Friendly: -
  • Minimizes plastic usage from bottled water.
  • Promotes sustainable consumption of natural resources.
6. Convenient & Accessible: -

  • Delivers clean drinking water at home 24/7.
7. Preserves Essential Minerals (in advanced purifiers: -
  • Certain purifiers maintain essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

What is Ring Water System?

Image
    Explanation Of Ring Water System Ring system is also known as  circular system, it is a water distribution system that form a ring around an area, it is best suited for area with well-planned road and streets, it is sub main branch off main line to provides circulation of customer. Ring Water Supply System    Characteristics  of a Ring Water Supply System: Loop  Configuration system :  The  pipes form a  closed  loop,  thus   reaching   several  supply points. No   dead ends  are   found;   hence,  pressure  in  the network  is evenly distributed . Redundancy water system : when  one section of the pipe is  either  damaged or needs  cleaning , water can be  diverted   to   some   other   routes  in the loop. Ensures  continuous  supply  in   case   of   an   emergency. Pressure  Co...

    Water Supply System water supply system in India is pure and clean water and quick delivery, water system gets from gravity of location and most cases water treatment cleanness, purification and disinfect by chlorination and sometimes fluoridation. these systems are supply of drinking water around the globe, it's our responsibility to serve a good quality of water, if its prove then we consume good feedback from the customers, supply is from irrigation but practice and system of water supply on a large scale. A network of water supply system is engineered hydrologic and hydraulic. water supply                                                                                                               ...

About Radial Water System: types of water supply

Image
   About Radial Water System Radial water system is a water distribution method of supplying water to multiple zones in a city or town. In this system water delivered radially to customers. It also known as zonal distribution. It distributed water to customer at high pressure and velocity. Radial Water System Advantages :   Efficient Water Flow  – It ensures a balanced distribution of water. Quick Response Time  – It reduces water stagnation and improves supply speed. Better Pressure Management  –It centralized control allows for better pressure regulation. Easier Maintenance  – It can isolate sections without shutting down the entire system. Disadvantages: High  Upfront  Cost –  The   installation of  a radial water distribution system involves heavy planning, digging  and  numerous  pipelines,  thus   raising  the  cost. Difficult  Maintenance –  As  water  is   dis...
