Filtration Process

Tap water or Municipal Corporation water supply is filled in the 1 O litres Inner Tank. Water while being filled, passes through the Sediment Filter which reduces the suspended impurities. It then passes through the Activated Carbon Filter, which reduce organic/ chemical impurities such as chlorine, bad taste and odor.
The filtered water gets collected in the Inner Tank, and then percolates down through the UF Membrane into the Outer Tank. During this process, most of the bacteria ( Tested by Toray, Japan) are reduced and only cleaner & safer drinking water is allowed to pass through. The purified water gets collected in the Outer Tank, ready to be dispensed when required.
