Confused, Which is the best water purifier for municipal water in Hyderabad for a home in December 2024?
Don’t worry, I would guide you step by step on how to purchase a water purifier for your home.
What is the water source of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation
Hyderabad gets water from three major rivers – Godavari, Krishna, and Manjira.
The two reservoirs Osmansagar and Himayatsagar are also used to draw water by the Hyderabad Metropolitan water supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) to serve the city through 9.65 lakh tap Connections.
What water purifier is needed for the Municipal (corporation) water of Hyderabad
See, however, water is drinkable until it is in the reservoir of the Cuttack municipality Jal board.
But, the drinkable water travels to the underground water pipeline until it reaches your kitchen tap.
Due to the micro leakages in the underground pipelines. The water gets contaminated with
- dust Particles,
- human waste and
- Pathogens (Viruses and Bacteria)
- Chlorine
- Bad Odour
In order to remove all the above impurities, you only need a UV+UF water purifier.
Note:- Don’t use RO water purifier for Hyderabad municipal water. AS RO is only used for Hard water. If you are directly using river or borewell water for drinking. You must use an RO water purifier to make such water drinkable.
UV+UF water purifier consists of the following filter cartridge
There are the following cartridge filters in it.
Sediment Water filter
A sediment Water filter removes dust and heavy material suspended in water.
Carbon Filter
An activated Carbon filter removes pesticides, and toxic chemicals like chlorine, and removes water smells.
Ultra or Micro Filtration
UF make up of a thin layer of material which is removes suspended micro solids, bacteria, viruses,
UF is enough capable of further purifying MCD water if any impurities are mixed in it while travelling through corporations’ pipelines.
Ultraviolet Filtration
Ultraviolet filtration involves an ultraviolet bulb that is fitted into the water tank of the water purifier where are is stored after the purification process.
It releases ultraviolet rays that kill waterborne microorganisms and prevent their reproduction by disrupting their DNA.
You might have seen, that in still water microorganisms reproduce themselves by themselves.
UV rays do not let pathogens, bacteria, and viruses reproduce in the water tanks.
Note:- If you still want to use a RO water purifier for Corporation water. you must buy a RO water purifier with TDS Controller. As Mineral Cartridge again enriches water with essential minerals.
