Here is a quick buying guide that will help you to choose the best water purifier under 10000 rupees in India for home use in 2022:

What is Prefilter?

It is a primary filter that is used to separate the larger sand and sediment filters before transferring the water to the RO filtration phase. The reason it is used is that it increases the life of the filters inside the RO and generally it is installed outside the filter so that it can be changed easily from time to time without opening the whole water purifier.

Sometimes it is provided by the company otherwise you have to buy it by yourself which will cost you around a thousand rupees.

Annual maintenance charges:

This could put a dent in your pocket as many companies offer a year of AMC for as high as 5-6 thousand a year, which is almost half the value of your water purifier. So select wisely and select the one which has the lowest annual maintenance budget.

Storage tank capacity

A water purifier cannot always be connected to electricity, that is why they come with a storage tank now.

• For a family of 2-4 members, a 5-6 liter tank is sufficient.
• If you have 4-6 members then a  tank with 7-8 litre of capacity will be sufficient
• For a family with 6-8 members consider buying a water purifier with a minimum capacity of 10 L.

Water Purifier technology

RO: It stands for Reverse Osmosis. In Reverse Osmosis water is made to pass through a semi-permeable membrane so that H2O molecules can pass and any other impurities are left behind the semi-permeable membrane

UV: It stands for UltraViolet Filtration. It is used to kill bacteria and viruses present inside water by using ultraviolet rays and makes it easier to clean.

RO+: It stands for Reverse Osmosis +. This is an advanced version of the normal RO

UF: It stands for Ultrafiltration. The working principle of RO and UF is almost the same where water molecules are forced to pass through a semi-permeable membrane using hydrostatic pressure. Only H2O and low molecular solutes can pass leaving behind all the impurities.

They can be non-electrical or electrical depending upon the combination of the filtration process.

Gravity: This works on the principle of sedimentation and filtration. They are mostly non-electrical.

Which is the best water purifier for home?

If the water supplied to your home is from a municipal corporation and the quality of water is good then a gravity-based water purifier should be the best choice for you as if you use a RO water purifier there then the water will lose essential minerals which are required by our body.

If you are using water from a bore well or mixed source then you should opt for a mixture of RO+UV+UF water purifiers.

Most of the viruses and bacteria are killed by UF+UF protection only and this mixture is best suitable for a TDS range of 1 to 200 mg/l. You should keep the factor of brackish water in their mind and generally, most of the companies will mention this thing.

Water Source type: There are two types of water sources available and they are:

Hard and soft water-  This usually contains a mixture of salts of calcium and magnesium and lying within the range 120-180 ppm. Anything above 180 is considered hard and anything below 120 is considered mildly hard. For this, an electric water purifier with a mixture of RO+UV+UF is considered.

Soft water only- It does not any salts and the ppm lies below 60 and it is also considered safe for drinking as well. You only need a gravity-based water purifier in this case.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS level)

According to WHO guidelines TDS mainly includes salts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, bicarbonates, chlorides, sulfates, and a very small quantity of organic matter.

This is not necessary that TDS can get mixed up in the water in sewage or pipes only but it can also originate from its natural resources as well.

According to Indian standards, 500 milligrams per liter (mg/l) is considered ok to drink although if no water source is available then TDS of up to 2000 mg/l is also acceptable.

Most of the urban households that receive their water supply from municipal corporations have TDS lying between these three categories:

up to 199 ppm: Which is considered safe to drink

200 to 499 ppm: Needs basic filtration.

500 to 1999 ppm: Needs specialized filtration process to make it palatable and potable.

TDS levels can also increase if the water has an increased level of chlorine or bleach that is used to kill the viruses and bacteria in the water and they should not be consumed and taken out during the filtration process.

TDS is not at all desirable in the water but the minimum limit of up to 500 is acceptable and you can get your TDS check by using a TDS meter or ask for some professional help by calling your water purifier company. Generally, all the companies will mention the TDS level and water source for which the water purifier is best suitable.

Water purifier recommended for home, based on TDS level:

• If the TDS is less than 200 then a UV+ UF Water Purifier is recommended.
• For TDS greater than 200 a RO Water Purifier is recommended.
• For TDS greater than 2000 then you need to buy a water softening solution as a domestic water purifier will not give desirable results.

These are some common TDS quantities in different types of water sources.

• TDS 20- 50 packaged drinking water
• TDS 50-100 after filtration by RO water purifier (best for drinking)
• TDS 100-300 The taste of water is sweet although no RO is required, only UV+UF water filter combination is enough.
• TDS 300-500 Tasteless water although no RO is required, and only a UV+UF water purifier is enough.
• TDS 500 and above The taste of the water is salty and RO is required to bring the TDS down.

Other types of impurities:

Leaving TDS apart other types of pathogens like viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and cysts, etc are also found in water as impurities and they can cause life-threatening diseases.

Some areas of India have been found to have been contaminated with a high quantity of chemicals like arsenic, nitrates, and iron that can be fatal to your health.

What are the best water purifier brands in India?

The most famous and trustworthy brands are as follows:

• Eureka Forbes
• Kent
• Tata
• R.K Aqua Fresh India
• Livpure
• Konvio
• Hindware
• Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL)

There are many other brands available but these are the best ones if you want to buy the best water purifier for home use.
