What is water purification?

The goal of water purification is to end up with water that is fit for specific purposes, such as drinking. This is done by removing 'the undesirables', such as chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids, and gases. 

When purifying water, it's important to know what contaminants are in the water so that you can determine what kind of water purifier you need. Realistically, the only way to do this is to have your water correctly tested. With water purifiers, it's not one size or type fits all.

People looking for a water purifier for home use want to resolve specific issues with their tap water. These issues might include removing traces of chemicals that are left in the water after water treatment processes have been carried out. Or, they want to remove the chemicals that have been used to disinfect micro-organisms, such as chlorine, and public health initiatives such as fluoride.

Benefits of using a Water Purifier

The benefits of installing a water purifier are far reaching and include:

• Better tasting and smelling tap water.
• Environmentally better than buying bottled water.
• Effective reduction in contaminants resulting in improved water quality.
• No reliance on electric pumps or adding additional chemicals into the water.
• More cost effective and convenient than buying bottled water.

What water purifier should you buy?

A water purification system will remove chemicals, including chlorine, hormones, endocrine disruptors, PAHs, VOCs, bacteria, chromium IV, colloids, cysts, endotoxins, ferric iron, lead, particulates, polysaccharides (TEP), silica, nano and micro plastics, and forever chemicals.

You need to decide whether you want to install a water purification system that will treat the whole house, your kitchen cold water, or your drinking water only.

Best water purifier for whole house

Our Doby Water Purifier for home use is suitable for a house with 3 or 4 bedrooms.

Best water purifier choices for the kitchen cold water tap

Either the Moby water purifier which is a smaller water purifier for either the pipe that goes to the cold tap in your kitchen, or a 2 bedroom flat, apartment, or small house.

Or the Tap Water Filter Pearl. Ideal for when you're a bit short on space. It's a smaller unit than the Moby water purifier but without any loss in flow rate.

Best water purifier for drinking water only

The Oyster Water Purifier will give you purified drinking water through a separate drinking water filter tap or 3 way tap.

How to choose the best Water Purifier?

The best water purifier for home use is the one that solves the problem you have with your tap water.

If you know what you want to improve about your water, choosing a water purification system should be easy.

There are a couple of factors to consider when choosing any type of water purifier because solving one problem with your water can sometimes lead to creating another issue or treating your water with a water purification system when you don't need to. 

Factor 1 - Creating another issue

A good example of this is solving a hard water problem by fitting a water softener. Hard ions like calcium carbonate are removed, however sodium is introduced to the water. As we all know now, reducing sodium intake is a crucial part of reducing blood pressure and improving heart health.

Factor 2 - Installing a system you don't need

Another example is the water treatment processes that already take place in the public water supply before the water reaches your tap. Ultraviolet is often used to kill micro-organisms that can cause severe illness. Smaller domestic size units are available for private water supplies. However, if you're on mains water you don't need to fit a UV water filter - you'd just be duplicating what's already been done.

A point of use (POU) water purifier will purify water coming out of your kitchen cold water tap whereas a point of entry (POE) water purifier will treat all water coming into your home. You can also get portable water purifiers, such as water bottles with built-in filters. These are ideal for travelling and camping.

How cost effective is a water purifier?

Water purifiers are cost effective in the long run. After the initial investment of installing a water purifier you'll soon see that buying bottled water was more expensive, inconvenient, and environmentally damaging. Water purifiers have replaceable filters that only require changing every 12 months.
