Top 5 UV water purifiers available in India

To lead a healthy life it is always advisable to take clean and safe drinking water. The water we consume should be devoid of both suspended and dissolved impurities and also disease-causing microorganisms. The traditional method of purification takes time to a great extent and it may not clean the water completely as the purifiers do. This is where the use of water purifiers becomes so apparent.       

Now the market is flooded with thousands of small and large brands and adding to it there are several technologies such as UF, NF,UV, RO, RO+UV and several other combinations which make the selection process very difficult.

BIS suggests the TDS (total dissolved solids) level of safe drinking water should be below 500ppm but the TDS between 150 to 300 ppm is always considered as the best.

The below table relates the suitability of purification technologies with water impurities.  

TDS LEVEL (ppm)	PRESENCE OF MICROORGANISMS?	SUITABLE PURIFIERS
500-350	Yes	NV+UF
500-350	No	NF
Below 350	Yes	UV
Below 350	No	UF/GRAVITY BASED
Above 500	Yes	RO+UV
Above 500	No	RO

In India, the water supplied by Municipal body & also the bore well water in the rural area generally contain a TDS value below 500ppm. So it is advisable to use a UV water purifier.
