Depending on just tap water for drinking and cooking needs is unsafe and can adversely impact your health and well-being, given the diverse sources of water. That’s where water purifiers come to the rescue, they offer you pure and clean water. However, choosing the right water purifier amidst the various types present in the market can be challenging. Therefore, understanding the different types of water purifiers and how they work is crucial for making an informed decision. In this article, we will look at electric and non-electric water purifiers and what sets them apart.
What are Electric Water Purifiers?
Electric water purifiers operate on electricity to provide you with pure and clean water. They use Reverse Osmosis (RO), Ultraviolet (UV), Ultra Filtration (UF), or a combination of all to remove disease-causing bacteria and viruses from the water. Reverse Osmosis removes contaminants like lead and mercury and eliminates disease-causing viruses and bacteria. Meanwhile, UV delivers water that is as safe and pure as water boiled for over 20 minutes, and UF removes the viral and bacterial contamination.
How Electric Water Purifiers Work?
Electric water purifiers employ a multi-stage purification process that treats water in different ways to eliminate impurities and deliver pure and clean drinking water. Here are the different purification stages adopted by electric water purifiers.
-
I Filter extracts particles like dust, dirt, mud, and sand, improving water quality.
-
Chemi-Block eliminates excess chlorine and organic impurities, enhancing taste and odour.
-
Mineral Guard safeguards essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, balancing water composition.
-
RO Membrane reduces TDS, hardness pesticides, and heavy metals. It also eliminates bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
-
Taste Adjuster skillfully adjusts water taste based on your water source.
-
UV E-boiling ensures uniform purity equivalent to a 20+ minute boiling process.
-
Ultra Filter Cartridge provides crystal clear drinking water in addition to making it safe from viral or bacterial contamination.
-
Active Copper Booster adds adequate amounts of copper ions into water.
-
An alkaline cartridge instantly increases the pH level of the water and makes it Alkaline. This cartridge contains activated carbon which makes the water safer, healthier, and tastier by removing contaminants.
What are Non-Electric Water Purifiers?
Non-electric water purifiers operate without electricity, often utilizing gravity, manual operation, or natural processes for water filtration. These types of water purifiers are popular in areas with limited access to electricity.
How Non-Electric Water Purifiers Work?
Non-electric water purifiers use filters like–Particulate, Sediment, Carbon, and others to remove impurities. These filters are generally arranged one after the other vertically, delivering water that’s free of impurities.
What’s the Difference Between Electric and Non-Electric Water Purifiers?
