As the world slowly starts trudging back to normalcy, is it time for you to pack your bags and venture into the city which holds the key to all your educational or career ambitions? For many of you, it might be the first time you are called upon to do some serious ‘adulting’, like getting a place to stay, being responsible for food preparation, and paying bills.

As with most people who are pursuing higher education or stepping into their first jobs, the word budget might feature constantly in your conversations and play a crucial role in everything you do. A shared apartment is probably the first budget-friendly decision you make, especially if you are planning to call the metros or tier one cities your home, for the next few years.

So, you have found a couple of like-minded people to share an apartment with, you have done your recce of the apartments within your budget (it even has a gym!), and you are on a first-name basis with the cool owners who are based in the US, and you are already planning on the parties you plan to give with your housemates.

But there may be a crucial aspect that you may have completely overlooked – Access to an uninterrupted supply of clean and safe drinking water. Investing in an RO water purifier or getting water cans, as simple as they may seem, may not be the best idea. Let’s delve into why access to safe drinking water may be a crucial missing factor in your shared apartment.

You probably might not have given the dubious-looking water can from your neighborhood kirana store a second thought. Do you know that unorganized packaged drinking water is a booming industry in India? 

Unlike the licensed brands which are authorized by the Government, with a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mark on them, the water provided by unlicensed manufacturers are not tested by any Government or private agency. This means that you cannot trace the source of the water you get in these 20-litre plastic water cans. The contaminants present in the water may have a long-term impact on your health. Another major factor is the hygiene levels. With absolutely no monitoring system, there is no way to assure that the cans have been handled hygienically before it reaches you. This coupled with erratic delivery makes cans an unsuitable choice.

ROs are being touted as the be-all and end-all solutions for all your drinking water woes. But this is one gadget where you can easily be pulled deep into murky waters. Here is why:

Zeroing in on an appropriate water purifier suited to your needs is a mind-boggling experience. Every brand will woo you with a plethora of features, technical terms, and designs which can be confusing.

Investing in an RO water purifier can prove to be an expensive, non-reversible decision since you would have shelled out a hefty initial payment. This, along with the added burden of annual maintenance cost (AMC) and frequent filter replacement costs may turn this investment into an unwanted liability.

One of the most overlooked aspects of an RO is that it may not be suited to the water quality in your area, as it has a standard filtration system. This means that you might get over-purified or under-purified water, both of which are harmful in their own ways.

So, is there a solution to this problem?

Fortunately, the answer is yes! DrinkPrime provides customized water purifiers on rent. This is extremely affordable as it works on a subscription model without the additional hassles of the delivery charge, AMC, or installation charge.
