the amount of minerals that we take in from water is minimal. we have many other options through which the trace minerals removed from water can be covered. any re-mineralization chamber or articles which goes on about RO stripping water of useful minerals is just gimmick.
So this kind of classification is true or just a gimmick?

This is just a straight forward representation of what each method does. I’m saying RO stripping minerals from water does not have a huge impact as you are not dependent on water alone for those minerals. 2slices of wheat bread or 2slices of cheese take care of your calcium intake for a day. handful of seeds or nuts for daily magnesium intake and so on.
I wonder why purifiers with NF filters are so rare in the market.
probably boils down to cost in a market like india

does your (this) RO Purifier requires electricity connection?
-
Since it’s installation, do you notice any NEW/Weird health issue (as claim by a user in Quora, link provided here by me)
-
same model still available at AZ [link here](’
) (please suggest if it’s same or different compare to your purifier)
-
Is it good for mix (Municipal + Open Well) water supply?
-
Where do you source SPARES of same as it’s 8 yrs old but still in working & good condition
Some people in my locality say ro/purifier water could cause constipation issues as well, but they buy water cans from bisleri.
- Requires electricity for the pump to operate
- No weird health issues
- All RO UV UF systems have the similar set of parts. Sediment filter, Pre carbon, RO membrane, post carbon(optional), UV, UF, Mineralizer(optional)
- I’ve used it in Noida where water was 1600tds or so and in Chennai now where bore water is 750tds. I see a 90% reduction on the tds.
- As mentioned in point 3, RO parts are similar/generic that you shouldn’t have issue sourcing spares. Refer to this link
https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/ro-filter-kit-24335045333.html
. It has all the necessary parts and some extra to service your RO. Depending on the space you have in the top half of the RO system, you can accommodate as many filter options you want using [RO Clamps](’

) like these.
I just bought the Urban Company native M2 couple days back for 17.5k. The water tastes damn near perfect for me. It’s touch based dispensary, so far it works well and good, yet to see how reliable the touch after a few thousand litres.
It came with 2 year warranty with free service, free filter replacement, etc. Post that it’s about 3.2k and the filters could last 1-2 years.
The only downside is it wastes a lot of water. 7lts wasted for every 3lts. I’m not sure if that’s expected from all RO purifiers?

Any NEW health issue since or after installation of RO (after 2015)

None of India Mart supplier interested in 1 set or single unit as there they all SELLING in BULK to suppliers, here to (link provided by you) sell min 100 SET (i.e 1450 x 100 = Rs.1,45,000/-) order
Everything is available on Amazon for 1000-2000 rupees. example:
https://www.amazon.in/Ionix-membrane-accessories-Sediment-cartridge/dp/B084GNPC73/
https://www.amazon.in/Service-Membrane-Universal-Domestic-purifiers/dp/B07PGKVH2H/
https://www.amazon.in/Aquadpure-Service-Membrane-Suitable-Purifier/dp/B08JZ2XNGF/
Edit: Govt and other articles tell not to use RO because a lot of water is wasted in ro. If you want to filter 1 liter water, the ro unit will throw away 2-3 liters of water with extra tds and impurities that it removed from the 1 liter purified water. They are just blaming the end user for wasting water when water is a basic need. They don’t blame companies that use too much water like soft drink companies or juice companies or farmers who waste water. It’s easier to blame people because people don’t talk back. There is water shortage but don’t blame people for trying to drink clean water. No one can drink borewell water or pond water without filtering it properly.And the only filter that filters these types of water is RO filter. If you get municipal water you don’t need RO purifier. A simple sediment+ carbon+ uv filter is enough to clean up municipal water.
- No one in the household has grown extra limbs or toes since 2015. How would I realistically be able to correlate any health issue with RO water? What do you define as New health issue?
- Indiamart link was for reference purpose only as it had all the items I was looking for, listed in the image and was clear to read. Please use amazon for retail purchases.
RO is only needed for water having TDS>500. Municipal water is usually <500TDS. Just boiling the water and using a 90’s era ceramic candle filters would suffice for municipal water.
-
Please don’t took my question otherwise, I just want to over come my worry (fear) that is there really any issue associate with consumption of RO water (as some articles, quora etc. suggest same, but you are the real user & more TRUSTWORTHY than those articles & post writers. so asking in details … ).
-
I think you bought spare for your purifier from Indiamart, but found seller selling in 100’s of … so …
-
Our society too starts mixing Municipal water with Ground water and plus frequent breaking of water pipe line always keep adding bad smell muddy water and in family we have Typhoid & Jaundice history.
-
Also don’t have high budget to go with BRNADED Purifier + Costly AMC + Costly Replacement Spares (ALL Cost like Bomb)
No worries. In your case of getting mixed water, you should always go with boiled water to kill disease causing germs. Brands have to pass on their overhead costs to someone right? Go with generic water purifiers and boil the treated water before consumption.
@@dexterz , you may have old membrane etc. if possible check below videos (@@6pack forward for my knowledge), do your old membrane have such GOOD FILTERS?
[Original UF Membrane](’

[Fake UF Membrane](’

No idea.
Good write up mate, cleared few doubts
any one, if have old/replaced membrane, dare to cut and check, if it’s Fake or Good/Original?
I bought this water purifier:
Take a look at this Pureit by HUL Advanced Max 6 L Mineral RO + UV + MF + MP Water Purifier with Mineral Cartridge on Flipkart
https://dl.flipkart.com/s/FvssLAuuuN
Please suggest any Amazon based GKK filters since Pureit isn’t sending servicemen to my location which was 603127.
How is the unit in general?
Also, why aren’t they sending any servicemen?
