Components

Common components found in water purifiers include:
1 Filter Cartridges: These are cartridges containing filtering media such as activated carbon, ceramic, or other
materials that physically trap or chemically remove contaminants from the water.

2 Sediment Filter: This filter removes larger particles and sediments such as dirt, sand, and rust from the water.

3 Activated Carbon Filter: Activated carbon filters use porous carbon to absorb impurities like chlorine, volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), and certain chemicals.
4 Reverse Osmosis Membrane: In RO purifiers, this semi-permeable membrane removes a wide range of
contaminants, including dissolved salts, heavy metals, and microorganisms, by forcing water through it at high
pressure.

5 UV Lamp: UV purifiers use ultraviolet light to disinfect water by killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
6 Storage Tank: Some water purifiers come with a storage tank to store purified water for on-demand use.
7 Faucet/Tap: This is the outlet through which purified water is dispensed for consumption or other uses.
8 Pre-filter: This filter traps large particles and sediments to protect the main filter components from damage or
clogging.
