Water that contains concentrations of salts or bacteria that are too low to cause harm is known as potable water.

Potable water is not to be confused with pure water (in the chemical sense). Whereas potable water, though safe to drink, is likely contain small quantities of dissolved matter and micro-organisms.

Potable water is safe, clean drinking water. It meets health standards and is free from harmful contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, excess salts, chemicals, and emerging pollutants like microplastics.

Common sources of regular water include surface water (rivers, lakes), rainwater, and groundwater.

Not all water is safe to drink directly. Potable water has been treated, tested, and certified to ensure it is free from harmful substances, unlike untreated water from lakes, rivers, or some wells.

Access to potable water is essential for good health. Contaminated water can cause waterborne diseases (like cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid), damage appliances through scaling, and affect the taste of food and beverages.

Ensuring a reliable source of potable water protects your family, employees, and equipment.

Signs of unsafe water may include unusual color, odor, or taste, but many harmful contaminants are invisible.

The most reliable way is to have your water tested in a certified lab or use reliable filtration and purification systems.

There are several methods depending on the source and contamination level:

• Biological: Bacteria, viruses, parasites
• Physical: Dirt, rust, sediments, turbidity

There are several methods depending on the source and contamination level:

• Filtration (sediment and activated carbon filters) for sediments and chlorine
• Disinfection (UV light, ozone, or chlorine) for bacteria and viruses for heavy metals and dissolved salts
• Reverse Osmosis (RO) for heavy metals and dissolved salts
• Ultrafiltration (UF) for microorganisms

Often, a combination system provides complete protection with best results.

Yes. Clear water isn’t always safe—microbes, dissolved salts, and chemicals are invisible to the naked eye. A purifier provides peace of mind by ensuring your water is consistently safe.

• Filter: Removes physical impurities (sand, rust, sediments, chlorine).
• Purifier: Uses advanced technologies (RO, UV, UF, etc.) to remove microbes, dissolved salts, and harmful chemicals, making water safe for drinking.

For equipment longevity, food processing, manufacturing processes, and employee health. Regular testing builds trust and guarantees compliance with health standards.

Potable water is tested through a combination of physical, chemical, and microbiological tests:

• Homes (municipal supply): If there are changes in taste, odor, or color
• Borewell/groundwater users: Subject to usage, constant monitoring and checking is a must.
• Industries/food businesses: As per regulatory guidelines.

Potable water is tested through a combination of physical, chemical, and microbiological tests:

• Physical tests check properties like color, odor, turbidity (cloudiness), and taste.
• Chemical tests measure pH, hardness, chlorine, flouride, nitrates, heavy metals (like lead, arsenic, mercury).
• Microbiological tests detect harmful microorganisms such as Legionella, E. coli, coliform bacteria, and viruses.
• TDS Meter (Total Dissolved Solids): Quick field test to measure dissolved salts/minerals.

• pH measures how acidic or alkaline water is, on a scale of 0–14. Safe drinking water typically has a pH between 6.5 and 8.5.

  Very acidic or alkaline water may irritate skin and eyes.

---

• TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): is the amount of minerals, salts, and metals dissolved in water. While some minerals are beneficial, very high TDS can affect taste and safety. Safe drinking water usually has a TDS level below 500 mg/L (WHO guideline).

  Higher TDS can make water taste salty or bitter.

---

• Hardness Caused by calcium & magnesium salts.

  Effects on health: Drinking hard water is not generally harmful in small amounts, but long-term consumption may contribute to kidney stones, gallstones, or cardiovascular issues in sensitive individuals.

  Effects on skin & hair: leaves soap residue. Hard water strips natural oils, leaving skin dry/itchy and hair dull, frizzy, or brittle. Hard water is a common cause of eczema flare-ups and dandruff.

  Effects on eyes: may cause irritation or burning sensation when showering.

  Effects on appliances: scaling in pipes, geysers, kettles.

  Solution: Our purification and filter systems soften water and we also provide Water Softners for various uses.

---

• Residual Chlorine: Chlorine is added to kill bacteria, but excessive amounts may cause:

  Skin & eyes: Irritation, dryness, redness, and itching (especially during showering or swimming).

  Hair: Dryness, fading of hair color, and brittleness.

  Taste & odor: Strong smell and unpleasant taste in drinking water.

  Ideally, chlorine levels should be just enough for disinfection but not excessive.

---

• Salinity: Refers to dissolved salts (mainly sodium chloride) in water.

  High salinity in drinking water: Causes salty taste, may increase blood pressure, and is unsuitable for people with kidney or heart issues.

  In daily use: High salinity damages pipes, corrodes appliances, and makes soap less effective.

  For agriculture/industry: Salinity affects crop growth and industrial machinery.

---

• Turbidity: Cloudiness due to suspended particles. High turbidity can shield bacteria from disinfection and cause stomach upset if consumed.

---

• Microbial Count: Presence of harmful bacteria or pathogens like E. coli can cause diarrhea, stomach pain, and waterborne diseases.

Filtration: Removes physical impurities like dirt, rust, and sediments.

Purification: Uses advanced methods (RO, UV, UF, etc.) to remove microbes, chemicals, and dissolved salts, making water safe to drink.

Treatment: Broad term for industrial/commercial processes that improve water quality for specific uses (e.g., desalination for seawater, softening for hard water, ozonation for disinfection).

Water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure, removing dissolved salts, heavy metals, nitrates, fluoride, microplastics, PFAS, and many emerging contaminants.

Best for: Comprehensive purification when High TDS, salinity, or heavy metal contamination.

Limitations: Wastes some water during purification; may reduce beneficial minerals (can be re-mineralized)

Applications: Homes, offices, industries, food/beverage, seawater desalination

Membranes with very small pores filter out bacteria, cysts, protozoa, and some microplastics while allowing minerals to remain.

Best for: Low TDS water with microbial contamination

Limitations:

• Cannot remove dissolved salts, nitrates, heavy metals or very fine chemicals
• Needs pre-filtration if water is turbid.

Applications: Homes with municipal water supply, pre-treatment for RO

UV uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses by disrupting their DNA.

Best for: Microbial disinfection

Limitations:

• Doesn’t remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, or chemical pollutants
• Needs clear water to work effectively.

Applications: Municipal water supplies, offices, homes (when combined with other filters)

Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidant used to disinfect water by killing microbes, breaking down organic matter, and reducing odor.

Best for: Disinfection without chemicals like chlorine

Limitations: Ozone must be generated on-site; no residual protection after treatment

Applications: Bottled water plants, swimming pools, industrial disinfection, food industry

Ionization systems use copper and silver ions released into water to kill bacteria, algae, and fungi.

Best for: Large storage tanks, swimming pools, cooling towers

Limitations: Slower action than chlorine/ozone; mainly a supplemental method

Applications: Hotels, hospitals, commercial water storage

Nanofiltration uses a semi-permeable membrane with extremely fine pores (smaller than Ultrafiltration but larger than RO) to remove contaminants. It works under moderate pressure and blocks many organic molecules, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and divalent salts (like calcium & magnesium).

Best for:

• Reducing hardness (without removing all minerals)
• Removing pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and organic contaminants
• Producing good-tasting drinking water while keeping some natural minerals

Limitations:

• Not as effective as RO for very high salinity or dissolved solids
• Membranes can foul and require maintenance
• Requires moderate pressure (more energy than UF, less than RO)

Applications:

• Drinking water treatment (municipal and residential)
• Food & beverage industry (e.g., dairy concentration, juice processing)
• Reducing hardness in water softening
• Pre-treatment before RO in industrial processes

Desalination removes salt and minerals from seawater or brackish water to make it drinkable.

Main methods: Reverse Osmosis (most common), Multi-Stage Flash Distillation, Electrodialysis

Limitations: Energy-intensive; higher cost compared to standard purification

Applications: Coastal areas, industries requiring low-salt water, ships, islands

Water softeners replace hardness-causing minerals (calcium, magnesium) with sodium or potassium ions.

Best for: High hardness water that causes scaling and appliance damage

Limitations: Not suitable as standalone drinking water treatment (used with RO for safe drinking water)

Applications: Homes, factories, laundries, hotels, industries

Activated carbon absorbs chlorine, pesticides, organic compounds, and bad odor/taste from water.

Best for: Removing chlorine and improving taste/odor

Limitations: Needs periodic replacement; doesn’t remove salts or microbes alone

Applications: Homes, offices, restaurants, pre-treatment for RO/UV

Water is boiled into steam, then condensed back into pure water, leaving contaminants behind.

Best for: Producing highly pure water (lab or medical use)

Limitations: Very energy-intensive; slow process

Applications: Laboratories, pharmaceuticals, specialized industrial processes

Yes. Most modern systems use a multi-stage process for complete purification:

RO + UV + UF + Carbon Filter → Covers salts, microbes, chlorine, taste/odor.

Softener + RO → Hardness + dissolved salts.

UF + UV → For municipal water with low TDS but microbial risks.

We can provide customized solutions based on your water test results and/or usage needs.

The right choice depends on:

Source water quality: TDS, hardness, microbes, chemicals, salinity.

Usage: drinking, cooking, bathing, industrial processes.

Scale: individual home vs. office vs. factory vs. agricultural use.

We provide professional water testing and suggest the most cost-effective, reliable technology for you.

Not all sources of water have them, but studies show they are increasingly common in both tap water and bottled water worldwide. While many are still being studied, reducing exposure is always safer.

Basic filters (sediment, carbon) cannot remove most of these emerging contaminants. Advanced technologies are required depending on the pollutant:

• UF for bacteria and some viruses
• NF for pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hardness, and partial PFAS removal (while retaining healthy minerals)
• RO for complete removal of salts, heavy metals, and most emerging contaminants
• UV/Ozonation for microbial disinfection
• Ion exchange for specific chemicals like nitrates or hardness.
