There are many different types of advanced water purification technologies available in market. Water purifiers range from simple water filters to advanced purifiers using membrane technology for water filtration followed by disinfection with UV lamp filters.
Here are the common types of advanced water purification technologies used for filtering domestic water:
Membrane technology purification
RO purification:
Reverse osmosis is the most widely used water purification method. RO uses membrane technology to remove dissolved salts, impurities and germs from water. The semipermeable membrane separates germs and dissolved chemicals from water. The membrane has very fine pores that allows only water to pass through it leaving behind all the harmful chemical, dissolved salts and microbes suspended in water (size of RO membrane pore is approximately .0005 micron which is slightly larger than the size of water molecule).
The drawback of RO is that it alters the taste of water and may remove some essential mineral from water. There are certain brands of RO which claim to retain the essential minerals in water. The semipermeable membrane require regular care and maintenance. To know more about RO process refer to “How does RO water purifiers work” RO technology is advisable in the areas where the quality of water is hard and high in TDS.

UF purification
UF (Ultra filtration) purification method uses membrane similar to RO membranes but with bigger pores. UF membranes essentially removes all colloidal particles including most pathogenic organisms and turbidity but fails to remove the dissolved solids and salts. Unlike UV purifier, UF water purifier physically removes all the germs and bacteria from the water. Ultra-filtration water purifiers are as good as RO water purifiers when the water supplied to homes is not very hard and has less TDS. RO is only required when the water has too much TDS and hardness.

UV purification or e-boiling
UV water purification is a method of water filtration which uses ultra-violet light to kill all germs, bacteria, microbes, cysts, etc. in water. Ultraviolet water purification is a simple but effective process that destroys around 99.99% of the harmful organisms in water. There is a tiny mercury lamp inside the purifier that produces short wave UV radiations. These radiations irradiate the water and penetrate the cells of bacteria and viruses, destroying their ability to reproduce. The microbes and organisms fail to multiply and eventually die. This purification method only kills the germs but the bodies of the dead germs remain in the water. Separate filters are required to remove the germs physically. UV water purification is usually done in conjunction with other forms of filtration such as reverse osmosis or activated carbon filters.
Candle filter purifier
Water purifiers with candle type filter have a very basic operating mechanism. The candle has very minute pores. Any particle which has the size larger than the pores gets blocked out and cannot pass on to the clean side. It does not require any electricity for operation. But the downside is that it fails to block microbes and so water still needs to be boiled before consumption. Also the candle needs to be cleaned up frequently for effective operations.
Activated carbon filter purifier
This water purifier use activated carbon filters for purification process. The carbon filters can remove chemicals like chlorine, pesticides and impurities to a great extent. The filtration changes the taste and odor of water. It does not require electricity for operation. But it is also not very effective in removing microbes from water.

I read your whole blog and I found It’s really very informative for those people who need to know about water purification techniques. our whole blog is awaring to many people.
Interesting features. Nicely covered the whole topic…
I was looking for stuff on water purifiers and how they work and found this blog. Very informative article, thanks for sharing…
Awesome information about choosing water purifiers! The NETe Water ATM Machine uses the futuristic and state of the art technology for vending pure Bacteria-free Alkaline drinking water.
Thanks for sharing such a piece of nice information about the different types of water treatment technologies. It is really helpful for many of us who required water-related awareness. RO and UV technologies help in water filtration.
Awesome information about choosing water purifiers!
RO + UV + UF technologies are simply life changing ! They should be made essential in every water purifier.
I am doing research about different water purifier technologies.

I was so confused with RO, UV & UF technologies. Many water purifier brands offered them as a bundle in their water purifiers. This made the filtration machine costly. Now I was able to understand their functions in detail.
Thanks for the awesome information!
Is their any extra feature available in you plant
Need This plant at india
Clean water is not available in current a days use various apps to clean the water
I have acomplete water purification system because I have a well not any city water near me, they way its set up is 4ft 12 in. round carbon filter, uv sanitizer for the whole home and RO under the kitchen sink. Now Im finally able to enjoy clean water.
Soft water is best used in RO systems or other water-based appliances because this avoids clogging and damages to the system or appliances. I’ve been partnering my filtering system with water softeners and very much satisfied with the outcome. Before I was having trouble understanding the regeneration process of water softeners and I thought it wasn’t important but after reading this article, I was happy to know these important details about water softeners.
soft water is very important for our human body because he care for our white cells in the body. so we use the best water softener. this is the best purification appliance.
Cleam water is a blessing. Care for it
Did you know, 525,000 children under 5 die from diarrhoeal diseases every year? Millions more fall ill due to water-borne diseases caused by the lack of access to clean drinking water.
So inventing technology is important and need of hour.
Much obliged for sharing this post. Gravity-Based Water Purifiers is the best kind of water purification.

Great article, now I know about the different type of water purifier technology. But can you explain me what is the difference between RO and UV water purifier.
Thanks for sharing helpful information about advanced water purification technologies.
Hey Divya..!! Thanks for sharing detailed information about advanced water purification technologies.
Hey Divya, Thanks for sharing with us the Advanced Water Purification Technologies!
Thanks for sharing this post. Gravity-Based Water Purifiers is another type of water purifier.
I never knew that reverse osmosis used membrane technology to clean water. I’ve been researching water purification systems for my biology class, so I think that this is a great resource. I also think that candle purification would be great in cases of emergency, so thank you for sharing this!
