Universal water purifiers use several purification technologies combined to deliver clean, purified and tasty water. Most purification companies combine the power of 2-3 purification processes into multiple steps to purify water. Some of the methods used to clean the water of all kinds of germs and impurities are as follows.
- RO plus UV purifiers
This combination is the best possible technology used by companies to clean and provide the finest, most purified water. Reverse osmosis and ultraviolet technology are used together to remove germs, heavy metals, viruses, and other dissolved impurities from water.
- RO plus UV plus UF
Systems using all three of the above are considered the most effective at purifying water of all kinds of impurities, including bacteria, germs, heavy metals, and dissolved impurities. Other companies also use UF filters to ensure the water is pure. Some of them use smart technology to check the TDS level and also use purification technology, which is better for cleaning the water, so consumers don’t need to worry about what to use. However, these purifiers are expensive and their maintenance costs a lot. When the TDS level of the water is higher, these purifiers can lower the TDS level and provide the best result for daily consumption.
- Pre-post activated carbon
Pre-post activated carbon is useful for absorbing toxic organic chemicals, such as pesticides. This can increase the life cycles of RO membranes by blocking impurities that can adhere to RO membranes and reduce their lifespan.
Advantages of universal water purifiers
- It can work with any type of water supply without problems regarding the quality of the outlet water;
- They improve the taste of the water by including the necessary minerals in the required drinking water;
- They clean the water of all kinds of impurities, such as dead cells, harmful salts, heavy metals, ions and toxic chemicals;
- Multi-stage purifiers kill and remove disease-causing bacteria, germs and viruses from water to make it safe to drink.
Cons of universal water purifiers
- Electricity is always used to clean and purify the water. As a solution, the purifier can include a storage tank to store clean water to be used whenever there is a power failure.
- The maintenance cost is a bit high as they make use of different technologies in water purification which requires regular maintenance for the water purifier to work well. However, this is much better than spending money and time on medications and doctor visits.
