Water & Air Purifier Buying Guide

The right purification depends on your source: RO for high-TDS borewell water, UV/UF for municipal supply, and HEPA air purifiers for dust and allergy season. Match the tech to the problem.

What to consider

1

Know your TDS

Above ~500 ppm you need RO; below ~200 ppm UV/UF is enough and won't strip minerals unnecessarily.

2

Purification stages

RO+UV+UF+mineraliser covers most water; more stages help with high contamination.

3

Storage & flow

7–10L storage suits families; check the purified water flow rate for busy kitchens.

4

Air: CADR & HEPA

For air purifiers, match CADR to room size and insist on a true H13 HEPA filter.

5

Filter cost & life

Factor in annual filter/membrane replacement cost, not just the sticker price.

Frequently asked

Only if your water TDS is high (roughly above 500 ppm), typical of borewell or hard water. For low-TDS municipal water, RO needlessly strips minerals and wastes water — a UV+UF purifier is the better, cheaper choice.
