Methods of Water Purification

Water purification is essential for ensuring safe drinking water. Various methods are used to purify water, each with its advantages and limitations. Here are the primary methods:

Boiling

• Boiling water is one of the oldest and most effective methods. It kills bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
• However, it does not remove chemical contaminants or heavy metals. (CDC)​​ (CDC)

Filtration

• Activated Carbon Filters: These filters use activated carbon to remove chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and taste and odour from water. They are common in under sink water purification systems and water purification machines​​.
• Sediment Filters: These remove large particles like sand and rust, preparing water for finer filtration​​.
• Carbon Filters: These remove impurities like pharmaceuticals and chlorine, improving water taste and quality​​.

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

• RO systems push water through a semipermeable membrane, removing up to 99.7% of contaminants, including dissolved salts, bacteria, and heavy metals​​​​.
• SuperiorOsmosis™: This advanced version of RO used by Bluewater offers up to 99.7% purification, making it more efficient and effective compared to conventional RO methods​​​​.

Distillation

• Distillation involves boiling water and then condensing the steam back into liquid form. This process removes most contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals.
• It is energy-intensive and may not remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Ultraviolet (UV) Purification

• UV purification uses ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. It is effective for microbial contaminants but does not remove chemical impurities or sediments.
