Quoting from Wikipedia “more than one in every six people in the world is water stressed. They do not have access to potable water. Those that are water stressed make up 1.1 billion people in the world and are living in developing countries.”

So to cope up with water pollution issues many water purifier systems have flooded the market. But can these purifiers guarantee pure water? Moreover can these systems work where there is an issue of water scarcity or droughts? Here are few pitfalls of water purifier...
The Hidden Truth of RO Water Purifier
- Waste:
The RO Water Purifier process results in water wastage.
"Owing to the low back pressure in reverse osmosis plants, they make use of a lot of water. Majority of the water is discharged as waste water, while only 5-15 percent comes out as purified. Reverse osmosis plant cannot block dangerous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine. In order to remove them, carbon filter has to be used as a complimentary measure." Source: iloveindia
- Inadequate Filtration
Water passes through a semi-permeable membrane in RO water purifier. This filters out harmful chemicals but pesticides, chlorine and herbicide particles remains in water.
- Increased Acidity
RO water purifier produces water which is comparatively more acidic. This happens due to alkaline removal that takes place during reverse osmosis process. This increased acidity can be harmful to the body over time, and also affects the taste of the water.
“Reverse osmosis proves to be a very slow option. The applied pressure must exceed the osmotic pressure to obtain product flow and to separate the solute from the solvent. Due to the high pressure requirement (about 200 psig or more above the osmotic pressure) RO is usually not applicable for concentrated solutions. Because all RO membranes and devices are susceptible to fouling, the RO process usually cannot be applied without pre-treatment” Source:separationprocesses
Other disadvantages of RO water purifier are removal of healthy, naturally occurring minerals in the water, slow option of osmotic pressure is not proper etc.
Amazing Advantages of AWG

- Make 100% Pure Water – Safe And Clear:
Atmospheric water generators produce water from the atmosphere. The water thus produces is 100% free from all chemicals and bacteria and is pure for consumption. The water also meets the standards of WHO/BIS.
- Boon For Water Challenged Areas:
AWG is the best solution for water-challenged areas where water is scarce or polluted because it does not need no external water supply.
- Eliminates the Need Of Water Purifier:
AWG or Atmospheric Water Generators are reliable, clean and safe source of water. They can even reduce or eliminate the need for bottled drinking water and water purifier. AWG’s are stand alone and scalable units. They are easy to install and have very low maintenance.
"WaterMaker extracts pure, safe drinking water straight from the air. Our atmospheric water generators (AWGs) are perfect for water stressed or water contaminated areas. They provide a decentralized, local source of clean potable water without any connection to pipes or catch basins. All they require is electricity or an alternate source of power to extract, condense, purify and dispense crystal - clear fresh drinking water." Source: watermakerindia
