What is the difference between a water filter and a water purifier?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Water_Filter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Water Filter?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The definition:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A water filter is a device that physically removes dirt and particles from your water. Think of it as a sieve. It catches what\u2019s visible, or what\u2019s floating in the water, and lets the water pass through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is it made of?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most water filters have a few simple components, such as a sediment filter, activated carbon and sometimes a candle filter. Water passes through these one after the other, usually with the help of gravity. There\u2019s often no electricity involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The stages:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sediment filter:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This catches dirt, sand, rust and other visible particles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Activated carbon:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This takes care of chlorine, bad odour and some chemicals, which improves the taste.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Candle filter (in some models):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a finer stage that blocks more suspended particles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>What does it remove?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dirt, sediment, suspended particles, excess chlorine and odour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What doesn\u2019t it remove?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sediment filters, candle filters and activated carbon are effective stages, but they don\u2019t remove dissolved impurities. This means a filter won\u2019t bring down your TDS. Most basic filters also don\u2019t neutralise bacteria and viruses, unless the model has a specific stage for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Is it enough?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It can be, in the right situation. If your water comes from a source you trust, it\u2019s already fairly clean and the TDS is low, a filter can be a basic first step. But here\u2019s the catch. Water that looks clear can still carry germs, and a filter can\u2019t tell you what\u2019s dissolved in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Water_Purifier\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Water Purifier?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The definition:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A water purifier is a device that makes your water safer to drink by removing or neutralising impurities, including the ones you can\u2019t see. It goes beyond catching dirt. It deals with what\u2019s dissolved in the water and what\u2019s living in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The different types:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The main types are RO (Reverse Osmosis), UV (Ultraviolet) and UF (Ultrafiltration). Each fixes a different problem. RO brings down dissolved solids, UV neutralises bacteria and viruses, and UF filters out microbes. Our guide on types of water purifiers covers them in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The stages:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most purifiers today use a multi-stage process. It usually starts with a sediment filter and pre-carbon, followed by RO, UV, post-carbon and a mineraliser. The water goes through one stage after another, and by the time it reaches your glass, it has been treated for more than one problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What does it remove?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dissolved solids and salts, which brings down your TDS<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bacteria, viruses and parasites<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess chlorine and odour<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a mineraliser, calcium and magnesium are added back to the treated water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Who is it best suited for?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Anyone whose water has a high TDS, comes from a borewell or tanker, or changes with the season. It also suits people living in metro cities, where water travels a long way before it reaches the tap. If you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s in your water, a multi-stage purifier covers more ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bengaluru\u2019s DrinkPrime offers a range of water purifiers that can be customized for your city\u2019s water. All these purifiers are equipped with multi-stage purification processes which make your water clean, healthy and safe. DrinkPrime is present in 11 cities and among them, two cities\u2019 water is quite different from the rest. They are Chennai and Kolkata. If you\u2019re in either of them, you don\u2019t have to worry about hard water or iron build-up. Chennai\u2019s purifiers come with an extra tool, an anti-scalant which removes the scale build-up and Kolkata\u2019s purifiers have the anti-scalant, along with the iron removal cartridge which removes the excess iron present in the city\u2019s water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Filter_vs_Water_Purifier_Whats_the_Difference\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water Filter vs Water Purifier: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look at the key differences between a water filter and a water purifier.

If your water is clean, your TDS is low and you trust your source, a filter may be enough for now, like it is for my mom. But if you live in a metro city, get borewell or tanker water, or your water changes with the seasons, a purifier is the safer choice. A filter catches what you can see. A purifier takes care of what you can\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simplest way to decide is to know your water. Check where it comes from, test the TDS and then pick. And if you\u2019d rather not worry about it, DrinkPrime takes care of the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_is_the_difference_between_a_water_filter_and_a_water_purifier\"><\/span><b style=\"font-size: 16px;\">1. What is the difference between a water filter and a water purifier?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A filter physically removes dirt and suspended particles. A purifier goes further and removes or neutralises dissolved impurities, bacteria and viruses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Is a water filter safe for drinking water?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on your water. For clean, low-TDS water from a trusted source, a filter can be a basic option. But it doesn\u2019t deal with bacteria, viruses or dissolved impurities, so it may not be enough for every home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Do water filters remove bacteria and viruses?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually not. Most basic filters only catch dirt and particles. Neutralising germs needs a UV or UF stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Does a water filter reduce TDS?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Sediment filters, candle filters and activated carbon don\u2019t remove dissolved solids. For high TDS, an RO purifier is recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Which is better, a water filter or a water purifier?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A purifier offers more complete protection, since it takes care of dissolved solids and germs as well. A filter can work for clean, low-TDS water, but a purifier is the safer pick for most city homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>6. Can I use a water filter for borewell water?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not recommended. Borewell water often has a high TDS, and a filter can\u2019t bring it down. An RO-based purifier is a better choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>7. Do I still need a purifier if my water looks clean?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it\u2019s worth considering. Clear water can still carry bacteria and viruses, and a TDS reading doesn\u2019t detect them. A purifier gives you protection from what you can\u2019t see.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you thinking of purifying your<a href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/water-filter-vs-water-purifier\/\">Read More<i class=\"fa fa-long-arrow-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4573,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-water-purifier"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
