New Lunch RO - UB, UF, Alkaline + Copper Water Purification
The importance of drinking water can not be neglected for a healthy life. Every living organism needs to consume adequate amounts of water to perform basic bodily functions. However, the scarcity of clean drinking water is a big issue. Although 71% of the earth is surfaced and covered with water bodies, only 3% of the earth’s water is suitable for consumption. However, the available freshwater drinking is not 100% safe for drinking purposes. The rise in pollution, discharge of chemicals and manufacturing wastage in water bodies, and droughts in many parts of the world due to global warming have resulted in a decline in usable water.
Many people do not have the access to clean drinking water in many parts of the world, including India. According to Unicef, less than 50% have access to safe drinking water. There is an exceedingly high fluoride and arsenic contamination in our drinking water, in 1.9M dwellings. This excess amount of chemical components is hazardous and affects millions of people across the country. This data clearly indicates the need for advanced purification of water for consumption purposes.
Apart from the alarming amounts of chemical content, drinking water is often contaminated with organic waste material, faeces, bacteria and disease-causing germs. Some of these microorganisms can be extremely harmful to human lives. Human beings can get sick from consuming water that contains pathogens, which are disease-causing bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The pathogens in water can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, cramps, nausea, headaches, fever, fatigue, and in severe cases, lead to death. Mostly children, aged people and people with weak immune systems are more likely to get affected by these water-borne bacteria.
When we talk about water purification systems available in the market, a consumer has several options to choose from — RO, UV, UF, and gravity-based water purification. This article talks about UV+UF water purification in detail. What is UV+UF water purification? What are the advantages and disadvantages of UV+UF? Let’s find out the answers to these questions.
A water purifier that uses both UV and UF purification processes to distil the water is known as a UV+UF water purifier. This type of water filter is suitable for water with low TDS levels. The main function of these filters is to kill the microorganisms present in the water and remove them using the UF filtration process. To understand the properties of UV+UF water purifiers, we need to know the functions of UV and UF filtration individually.
UV rays are employed in ultraviolet purification to eliminate the bacteria and microbes in the water. This is quite effective at getting rid of dangerous bacteria in the water. A little mercury lamp installed in the in-tank emits UV rays. Through cell penetration, these UV filter radiations eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and germs. However, UV purifiers simply kill them, leaving their dead corpses in the water, which RO technology or UF can remove.
Ultra-filtration water purifiers use a membrane similar to RO but with bigger pores to effectively remove large particles present in the water, such as pollutants and pathogens. Small particles, including dissolved salts and minerals, can thus flow through the membrane. The physical removal of bacteria and pathogens from drinking water is possible through ultrafiltration. When applied to water with low TDS, these water filtration devices work better. This water purification process does not require electricity to purify the water
For most people, alkaline water is not better than plain water.
Bottled water that's sold as alkaline water may have minerals such as calcium and magnesium added to it. The minerals help the water achieve an alkaline pH. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline substances are. The scale goes from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH greater than 7 is alkaline, while a pH less than 7 is acidic.
Alkaline water has a higher pH than that of plain tap water. So proponents say that alkaline water can neutralize acid in the body. Some say that alkaline water can help prevent disease, such as cancer and stroke. But more research is needed to prove these claims.
Some studies also suggest that alkaline water may help slow bone loss. It's not clear whether the added calcium in the water may improve some bones. More research is needed to find out if alkaline water plays a role in bone strength and if that benefit continues over the long term. Some studies also suggest that alkaline water and a plant-based Mediterranean style diet may help relieve acid reflux. Again, there's not enough research to say for sure.
Use of alkaline water has been linked to some safety concerns, especially if the water's pH is higher than 9.8. The safety concerns include getting high levels of potassium in the blood, also called hyperkalemia. This condition is especially risky for people who have kidney disease.
Switching to a water purifier with copper technology is a modern and health-conscious choice for both homes and businesses. This innovative purification method offers distinct advantages compared to traditional techniques.
The benefits of copper-infused water have been recognised for centuries, with ancient Indian texts highlighting copper's role in water purification. Copper possesses natural antimicrobial properties, effectively killing bacteria and contributing to additional health benefits, as documented in ancient texts. A copper water purifier seamlessly combines tradition with cutting-edge technology, making it an ideal option for ensuring the safety and health of drinking water.
Let’s explore the top 5 reasons why making the switch to Active Copper Water Purification Technology is a beneficial decision.
Active copper in water refers to the presence of copper ions or compounds that can influence water quality and have various effects.
The active copper technology infuses copper ions into water purified through the RO process, elevating its purity and allowing it to acquire the advantages associated with copper-based water purification. The water purification system includes a unique cartridge designed to infuse the appropriate amount of copper ions.
Research says that copper deficiency has been linked to a range of health issues, such as anaemia, connective tissue disorders, and osteoporosis. Therefore, switching to Active Copper Technology in water purifiers can help address copper deficiency, besides offering numerous other advantages, making it a compelling choice for households and businesses. Here are five key reasons:
Copper possesses natural antimicrobial properties, effectively killing bacteria and other pathogens in the water, providing safer drinking water and improved health.
Active copper technology infuses essential copper ions into the water, offering additional health benefits. Here are some benefits of copper water.
Digestive Health: Copper-infused water is believed to aid in digestion by helping the body absorb essential nutrients from food. It can stimulate the digestive system, potentially improving overall digestive health.
Immune System Support: Copper has antimicrobial properties that can help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in drinking water, contributing to a healthier immune system.
Metabolism Boost: Copper plays a role in breaking down fat cells for energy, potentially aiding in weight management by boosting metabolism and calorie burning.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Copper is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties, which can promote overall health.
Bone Health: Some sources suggest that copper may strengthen bones, although this benefit may not be as well-established as others.
Active Copper Technology helps in the removal of impurities, enhancing the taste and odour of water. It ensures that the water you consume is clean and refreshing.
Water purifiers with Active Copper Technology reduce the need for chemical treatments, making it an eco-friendly choice. It contributes to a more sustainable approach to water purification.
Copper components in water purifiers are durable and corrosion-resistant, ensuring the longevity of the purifier. This translates to cost savings and reduced maintenance efforts.
While you have just read about the benefits of active copper in water stated above, zinc is also a vital micronutrient.
