5 reasons to invest in water purifiers

In the last few decades, if there is one kitchen appliance that has stayed in continuous demand after the microwave, it is the water purifier. Well, rightly so, the growing population, industrial development and environmental degradation have contaminated this natural reservoir of hydrating the human body and made it unsafe for drinking directly from the source.

Given this situation, it has thus become essential to use a water purifier that ensures our drinking water is of good quality. Its filtration process further helps to purify it, which makes it safe for drinking, improves its taste and prevents diseases.

So, today, let’s find out 5 impurities a water purifier can remove-

1. Chlorine 

The water supply that we generally receive in our houses contains chlorine and chloramine. These two chemicals are used to disinfect the liquid and are beneficial in removing the two microorganisms. Though these substances are dangerous for health, it can cause several problems like a bladder and rectal cancer if consumed in large quantities. Thus, by installing a technically advanced Ultraviolet (UV) water purifier with activated carbon destroys these hazardous chemicals and consequently makes water safe for consumption.

2. Pesticide and Chemical 

For a while, some industrial chemicals like heavy metals etc. were unsolvable in water. But, with headway in technology all across, these precarious elements shifted to modern organic pesticides that became indissoluble into the water supply. These synthetic particles can cause acute health effects such as chemical burns, nausea, convulsions and even cause chronic health problems. Hence, by installing a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purifier that uses a multi-stage filtration process by combining active carbon particles, these contaminations can be removed to make water safe for drinking.

3. Pathogen Removal

Diarrhea, hepatitis A, cholera, are infections caused by a host of bacterial, viral and parasitic mostly found in contaminated water. Drinking H₂O can ingest these microscopic organisms which are usually contaminated by animal or human feces. As these dangerous particles survive in the environment for many months and can easily blend in the source of regular drinking water, removing them through high-powered filtration is essential. Hence, if you are living in an area where this situation is even minutely possible, then purchase a high-grade disinfecting device that provides a minimum of a 5-stage UV purification with germicidal UV-C protection.

4. Lead

For any home to get water, it has to be connected to the primary source through a pipe. This channel is usually made of lead which, when corroded mixes with the drinking water. For homes where the water comes without the lead service lines, the problem arises through the brass- or chrome-plated faucets. Furthermore, the permissible limit of lead in water is zero and if consumed it is harmful to human health even at low exposure levels. In children, even a small amount can damage the nervous system, cause learning disabilities, shorter stature, impaired hearing, and more. Whereas in adults, it can lead to cardiovascular diseases, increased blood pressure and decreased kidney function and even reproductive problems. Thus, possessing an advanced RO with carbon filtration or a 7 stage or above purifier is considered the best method to reduce and remove lead from drinking water.

5. Fluoride

Fluoride is another object that can be found in the transparent consumable liquid. Though considered beneficial for oral health, excessive use of it can lead to some side effects such as cancer, gum disease, thyroid dysfunction and bone diseases. Thus, opt for a 100% RO & UV or alkaline purification model with 6-8 stage disinfecting system and with pH balanced water while adding natural minerals.

Now that you have a view on the impurities present in drinking water buy a superior quality water purifier that has become a necessity in today’s contaminated world from Havells, the leading Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) company. It offers a wide range of water purification devices- 100% RO and UV Purification, Double UV Purification, Alkaline water purifier, minerals fortification, Revitalizer, iProtect purification monitoring. More so, the purifiers are a perfect blend of modern technology, stylish design, protection and convenience that add to the aesthetics of the kitchen.

So, to assure people do not meddle with water, or as it is said in Hindi #paanisepangomatlois, check out the full range of the water purifiers and choose the one that suits your needs the best!

Drink safe, stay healthy!
