Water purifiers have revolutionised the purification process, making it significantly easier than traditional methods. Incidentally, this change has also made it quicker to get safe, pure, and healthy drinking water.
Among the numerous water filtration technologies available, Ultraviolet (UV) filtration has gained popularity for its ability to both purify and disinfect water. Recently, Aquaguard, a pioneer in water purification, launched two new water purifiers with toughened glass exteriors and 5th Gen UV LED technology. Read ahead to know more about Aquaguard’s latest water purifier and its revolutionary water filtration technology.
Introducing Aquaguard Slim Tech with 5th Gen UV LED Technology
The Aquaguard Slimtech water purifiers–Aquaguard Slim Tech UV Bar Inline Water Purifier and Aquaguard Slimtech Glass UV Storage Water Purifier come with 5th Gen UV LED technology that’s faster, lasts longer, and has less harmful mercury compared to other UV purifiers. While ordinary UV water purifiers take more than 30 seconds to begin purification, water purifiers with 5th Gen UV LED purify water in mere seconds.
Now let us explore the science underlying the 5th Gen UV LED technology:
The core principle of UV LED lies in the ability of UV-C light to penetrate the cell walls of microorganisms and damage their DNA or RNA.1 This interference prevents them from replicating and performing essential cellular processes. This process of boiling avoids the use of additional chemicals, making it a chemical-free water purification method. The term 5th Generation in UV LED Technology signifies advancements and improvements in the efficiency and performance of LED technology. Because of these developments, there is no waiting time while the water is being purified. Moreover, this technology (5th Gen UV LED) lasts for 10 years, which is longer than any other, has zero wait time, as mentioned before, and is safer because it contains no hazardous mercury.
Benefits of 5th Gen UV LED Technology
1. Faster Water Purification
Ordinary UV water purifiers generally take more than 30 seconds to begin purification. Meanwhile, water purifiers with 5th Gen UV LED provide you with safe, healthy, and pure drinking water with zero waiting time.
2. Durable
Unlike other UV water purifiers, 5th Gen UV LED water purifiers have a long life. They can last for about 10 years or more based on usage and require very low maintenance.
3. Preservation of Water Quality
5th Gen UV LED preserves the natural taste and essential minerals in water.2 Additionally, it can kill bacteria and chemicals. This ensures that the purified water not only meets safety standards but also provides a pleasant and wholesome drinking experience.
4. Safe
Ordinary UV water purifiers have dangerous mercury inside. However, the 5th Gen UV LED contains zero harmful mercury, making it one of the safest water purification methods.
What is the Need for Advanced Water Filtration?
There are several factors contributing to this increased demand for water purifiers and advanced filtration with RO+UV. Here we highlight the need for advanced filtrations like RO, UV, and RO+UV.
1. Increasing water pollution
Water sources are contaminated by chemicals, pathogens, and heavy metals that pose a serious health risk. To successfully eliminate these contaminants and guarantee the supply of clean water, advanced water filtration is necessary. For instance, UV water purifiers can disinfect water and provide you with water as safe as water boiled for 20+ minutes.
2. Emerging Contaminants
Eliminating new-age contaminants, such as pharmaceutical residues and tiny plastic particles, can be a challenging task in water purification. To stay ahead of the curve and protect water quality, advanced filtration technologies are essential. Traditional methods may need help to handle these new challenges. Whereas, RO+UV water purifiers can remove a host of contaminants. While RO removes high TDS, water hardness, bacterial, and viral contamination, UV disinfects water, delivering water as pure and safe as boiled water.
3. Issues related to health
Waterborne diseases remain a significant global health concern. Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites can contaminate water sources and cause widespread illness. Modern water filtration, especially concerning UV LED technology, provides a dependable way to get rid of these dangerous bacteria.
4. Consumer Awareness and Demand
Water-related issues are becoming more prevalent, and people are choosing safe, high-quality drinking water by habit. Consumers can feel confident in the purity of the water they drink thanks to advanced water filtration systems that not only surpass regulatory requirements but also surpass their expectations.
