Why a water purifier must have all (RO, UV and UF) water purification technologies?
RO water purification technology
RO water purification is consist of RO membrane which has very tiny pores.
Water is passed with a great force through this RO membrane which allows water molecules only to pass through it and blocks dissolved Salts and solids and heavy metals like Arsenic, Mercury and Lead from the water.
Ultimately converting hard water into soft water. RO water purification is necessary when you have hard water.
What is hard water?
Water having TDS over 500 PPM is considered as hard water. Prolonged conception of hard water increases risk of cardiovascular diseases it can also cause both heart diseases as well as high blood pressure (although acceptability may vary according to circumstances).
UV bulb plays a very important role in UV water purification. Basically water is exposed to the UV rays of the UV bulb which inactivates harmful bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other parasites from the water, making the water microbe free.
Consumption of water containing harmful bacteria,viruses, Protozoa and other parasites can cause many diseases like tuberculosis, Cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, dysentery etc.
UF water purification technology
UF water purification technology is a very basic purification Technology. It basically removes visible impurities like sand, mud and dust from the water as well as bad taste and odour causing contaminants.
So as you can see no one water purification Technology is enough for the complete purification of water.
So a water purifier which has all the three that is a RO, UV and UF water purification is considered as a complete water purification solution and one can easily find all these in Kent digital water purifiers.
