A water purifier is a device designed to remove contaminants from water, making it safer to drink.
Common types include:
- Activated Carbon Filters: Remove chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: Use a semi-permeable membrane to remove a wide range of contaminants, including dissolved salts and heavy metals.
- Ultraviolet (UV) Purifiers: Use UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
- Distillation Units: Boil water and then condense the steam to remove contaminants.
Each type has its own advantages depending on the quality of the input water and specific purification needs.
