What Are Water Purifiers? Everything You Need to Know

Clean water is essential for health, hygiene, and industrial applications — but depending on the source, water can contain a range of harmful contaminants. That’s where water purifiers come in.

At Walchin, we specialize in advanced water purification systems for residential, commercial, and industrial use. In this article, we’ll explain what water purifiers are, how they work, and how to choose the right system for your needs.


💧 What Is a Water Purifier?

A water purifier is a device or system that removes impurities, contaminants, and harmful substances from water, making it safe for drinking, cooking, or industrial use.

Unlike basic filters, which may only trap particles, water purifiers can eliminate:

  • Bacteria & viruses

  • Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury)

  • Chemical pollutants (chlorine, pesticides)

  • Dissolved salts and minerals

  • Suspended particles and odor


⚙️ How Do Water Purifiers Work?

Water purifiers use one or more purification methods, depending on the water quality and application. The most common technologies include:

1. Reverse Osmosis (RO)

  • Forces water through a semi-permeable membrane

  • Removes 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, and salts

  • Ideal for industrial and desalination use

2. Ultraviolet (UV) Purification

  • Uses UV light to kill bacteria and viruses

  • Chemical-free and fast disinfection method

  • Often used in combination with other systems

3. Activated Carbon Filtration

  • Adsorbs chlorine, bad odor, and organic chemicals

  • Improves taste and smell of water

  • Common in home and pre-treatment systems

4. Ultrafiltration (UF)

  • Filters out bacteria, viruses, and large molecules

  • Doesn’t require electricity, ideal for rural use

5. Ion Exchange

  • Replaces harmful ions (like calcium and magnesium) with sodium or potassium

  • Used in water softeners and mixed-bed deionizers


🏠 Types of Water Purifiers

Depending on usage, water purifiers are available in various types:

Type Application Features
Household Purifiers Drinking & kitchen water Compact, RO+UV systems
Commercial Purifiers Restaurants, hospitals Medium capacity, continuous flow
Industrial Purifiers Factories, labs, farms High capacity, custom-engineered
Portable Purifiers Travel, rural areas Lightweight, gravity-based or UV
