Choosing the best water purifier for you and your family

Water is essential to life, but the water we get from natural sources isn’t always clean or safe. Contaminants that may be present in water include lead, chlorine, chemicals, and bacteria, all of which can be harmful to our health. 

Tap water quality in Thailand varies from area to area, depending on the water source and the treatment system. In some areas, tap water can be very hard, which may make it taste unpleasant and can be bad for your health. In others, tap water may still be contaminated with chemicals or bacteria, making it unsafe to drink.

That’s why a water purifier is the best way to remove these contaminants from our drinking water, and choosing a good-quality one is something you shouldn’t overlook.

Before you buy a water purifier, let’s look at the types available.

There are many types of water purifiers, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. When choosing one, there are three main factors to consider: the quality of the water you want to filter, the amount of water you need to filter, and your budget.

If you live in an area with good water quality, you may not need a water purifier with advanced technology. A basic water purifier such as an under-sink unit or awater filter pitcher is enough to filter out common contaminants such as lead, chlorine, and limescale.

If you live in an area with poor water quality, you may need a water purifier with more advanced technology, such as an RO (Reverse Osmosis), UF (Ultrafiltration), or EDI (Electrodeionization) water purifier. These water purifiers can remove almost all contaminants from your drinking water.

Water purifier prices vary depending on the type, brand, and features. You can view product detailsWater Purifieron our website.

If you’re looking for a good water purifier, it’s important to research thoroughly before you buy. Compare the features and prices of different water purifiers, and choose the one that best fits your needs.

Types of Water Purifiers

Basic water purifiers generally use a filter pad, which can trap dust sediment and some chemicals. There are many types of water purifiers, each with different features and uses. The types of water purifiers are as follows:

  1. RO Water Purifiers A type of water purifier that is more effective than a basic filter. RO water purifiers use the principle of ion exchange to produce RO water and can filter out almost all contaminants, including sediment, dust, chemicals, bacteria, and viruses.
  2. UV Water Purifiers A type of water purifier that treats water with ultraviolet light. UV water purifiers can kill bacteria and viruses.
  3. Ozone Water Purifiers A type of water purifier that treats water with ozone, a gas with disinfecting properties.
  4. Combination Water Purifiers A type of water purifier that combines the features of several types. Combination water purifiers can filter out a wide range of contaminants.

Tips for Choosing a Water Purifier

  • Consider the quality of the water you want to filter
  • Calculate how much water you need to filter
  • Set a budget for your water purifier
  • Research the features of each brand’s water purifiers
  • Choose the water purifier that best fits your needs 

A water purifier is a worthwhile investment that helps you stay healthy and drink clean, safe water every day.

What Should You Consider When Choosing a Water Purifier?

Choosing a water purifier is very important, because drinking clean, contaminant-free water is one of the ways you can look after your health and your family’s, and it’s essential to our lives. There are many factors to consider when choosing a water purifier. To choose the right one for you, consider the following:

  1. Water Type
    This is the most important factor in choosing a water purifier, and Thailand has a wide variety of water sources. Some sources may contain more contaminants than others. For example, tap water may contain lead, chlorine, and other chemicals, while groundwater may contain contaminants from agriculture and industry. So it’s best to first find out where the water in your area comes from and what condition it’s in.
  2. Water Usage
    Drinking enough water is essential to your overall health. Water helps regulate body temperature, nourishes your organs, and helps your body function efficiently. Generally, we should drink about 8 glasses, or roughly 2 liters, of water a day to meet the body’s needs, though the amount varies from person to person. To roughly estimate your water usage, add up the daily drinking water intake of everyone in your household.
  3. Budget
    Your budget is another important factor when choosing a water purifier. Prices range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of baht, depending on the brand, filtration performance, and filtration technology, as well as reliability and warranty.
  4. Special Requirements
    For example, if you need a water purifier that removes specific contaminants such as lead, chlorine, or other chemicals, you’ll need to choose one with those specific capabilities.

Choosing the right water purifier for you and your family is very important. Once you’ve considered all of these factors, you’re ready to choose a water purifier. Keep in mind that every brand has its own pros and cons.

Mitsubishi Cleansui offers a wide range of water purifiers to choose from. The Cleansui team’s advice before you decide is to start by assessing your basic needs: where you live (an apartment, condo, or house), how many people are in your household, and how much water you use. For example, do you drink it every day? Do you also cook with it? Are you home all day, or do you leave for work every day? This information will give you an initial idea of which type of water purifier is right for you.

If you live in an apartment or condo with about 1-2 people, we recommend afaucet-mount water purifier But if you live in a house with a large family, a kitchen, and more than 2 people, we recommend abuilt-in water purifierIf you still can’t decide or aren’t sure which water purifier to choose, you can get advice from the Cleansui team.
