Access to clean and safe drinking water is a requirement, not an option. With rising water pollution and contamination, investing in an efficient water purifier has become critical to maintaining good health.
When buying a water purifier, it’s essential to take certain factors into account. Considerations such as the purification technology, storage size, and cost of the water purifier.
Here we will look at the most crucial factors to consider before investing in a water purifier.
1. Understand the Water Purification Technologies
Different water purifiers utilise various purification technologies, such as Reverse Osmosis (RO), Ultraviolet (UV), and Ultra Filtration (UF). Each technology serves a specific purpose in removing impurities and contaminants from water. RO removes Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), chemicals, pesticides, and heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic. UV E-Boiling disinfects water, delivering water as pure as water boiled for 20 minutes. UF removes viral and bacterial contamination from water.
Before investing in a water purifier, research the purification technologies and choose the one that best suits your needs based on the quality of water in your area. You can use Aquaguard’s free virtual water testing tool to determine the quality of your water.
Determine the Storage Capacity based on your family size
Storage capacity is the volume of purified water a water purifier can store for future use. Depending on your family’s daily water consumption needs, choose a water purifier with adequate storage capacity. For instance, homes with a consistent water and electricity supply can opt for purifiers with no storage, while small (three to four members) or medium-sized/large (five to eight members) families may choose purifiers with storage capacities ranging from 5 to 10 litres.
2. Consider the Type of Installation
Water purifiers can be installed in various ways to suit diverse spaces. They can be wall-mounted to conserve countertop space, positioned beneath the kitchen counter for efficient use of space, or placed on a spacious countertop, depending on personal preferences and the available area. Therefore, when getting a water purifier keep the type of installation in mind to find the perfect water purifier for your kitchen.
3. Additional Features
Water purifiers do more than remove chemicals, pesticides, viruses, and bacteria from water. For instance, Aquaguard water purifiers come with Active Copper Booster that infuses the right amount of copper into your water, delivering you water that’s clean, pure, and healthy. In addition to that, Aquaguard water purifiers are equipped with Bitron Technology that aids the absorption of minerals. Moreover, Aquaguard water purifiers are equipped with UV E-Boiling that disinfects the water and delivers water as pure as water boiled for 20+ minutes. Furthermore, Aquaguard water purifiers have high-grade 304 stainless steel tanks to prevent corrosion and ensure durability, and an advanced Taste Adjuster that adjusts the taste of the water as per your preference even if the source of the water changes.
Take Away
Before investing in a water purifier, it is essential to consider numerous factors, including the AMC cost, the filter price list, purification technology, storage capacity, installation process, customer reviews, and warranty. By thoroughly evaluating these factors, you can choose the best water purifier that meets your needs and ensures access to clean and safe drinking water for you and your family.
