A water purifier is the best option to drink clean and healthy water at home, or in the office, without having to buy and carry bottled water or jugs.
However, choosing the right water purifier that gives you the best benefits at the best price is not easy. For this reason, today we will reveal to you the 5 things you should know before buying a water purifier.
- Be aware of the water quality
Impurities in the water tap are a consequence of their source, as well as the type of distribution. In México, the water comes from rivers, lakes, water wells, rainwater, sewer systems, and water tankers.
Therefore, the chemical and biological impurities are very varied. For example, piped water from lakes and water wells has a lot of suspended solids like mud and sand particles and that is why it looks muddy; also, that type of water has organic compounds that cause bad odor and taste. The municipal water supply contains dangerous disinfectants such as chlorine that provokes a bitter taste. It also has biological impurities such as viruses and bacteria that produce diseases.
2. Choose efficient and technological options
We know there are many options on the market but the most effective ones, and therefore most beneficial for health, are those that remove a high level of total dissolved solids, this is possible with a system that works with reverse osmosis. It eradicates up to 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, and harmful particles and improves their smell and taste.
On the other hand, a wide variety of water purifiers with ultraviolet light systems are available on the market. This kind of equipment purifies moderately contaminated water, eradicating some bacteria that cause stomach diseases, but it cannot eliminate harmful particles such as microplastics and dissolved solids like pesticides, arsenic, and fluoride.
3. Focus on safety and quality
It makes no sense to use a water purifier without knowing about the correct operation and good condition of the components. For example, without absolute clarity about the status of the cartridges is highly possible to exceed their useful life and this often leads to contaminated water.
For this reason, you must seek alternatives which are transparent in their operation and that give you reliable information, with relevant metrics on water quality.
4. Prefer pure water
Activated carbon water purifiers absorb pesticides and herbicides while removing chlorine, improving the taste of water, and eradicating unpleasant odors that ruin beverages and food.
5. Analyze the maintenance
Most water purifiers require maintenance of their parts and components. And that also represent high expenses in their installation. We want you to have an effective purchase, so this can be an investment and not another expense, therefore it is essential to analyze the maintenance fee involved. Look for those lower costs in the short and long term in its installation and the daily operation.
Now, you know the 5 most important things to consider before buying a water purifier. This is a useful guide to making the best choice. Remember it’s about protecting you and your family from dangerous components like microplastics. You can learn all about microplastics in our previous post here.
