Selecting the right drinking water purifier for your home, clinic, or commercial space in Kerala requires understanding your source water parameters — specifically Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), iron levels, and bacterial risk.

|---|---|---|---|
| RO (Reverse Osmosis) | High TDS (> 250 ppm) | Dissolved salts, heavy metals, TDS, pathogens | Yes (High pressure pump) |
| UV (Ultraviolet) | Low TDS (< 150 ppm) | Kills bacteria, viruses, micro-organisms | Yes (UV lamp chamber) |
| UF (Ultrafiltration) | Low to Moderate TDS | Suspended solids, fine particles, bacteria | No (Gravity / Tap pressure) |
