Why consider an Under-the-sink Water Purifier?
Is your tap water safe for drinking? Unfortunately, in most cases it isn’t. Direct tap water contains dissolved contaminants such as bacteria, lead, and pesticides, which can lead to a number of health problems. If you too live in a metropolitan city, it becomes imperative to know where your water comes from and what kinds of pollutants may exist in it. In order to stay healthy, you need to know how to source your home with clean water.
Sources of Purified Water
For many, buying bottled water is convenient and an affordable way to get access to clean drinking water. However, many of us might not realize that bottled water is more expensive and don’t always guarantee that you are supplied with clean and safe water.
Therefore, buying a water purifier is a long term solution for the problem. The right water filter ensures that you get safe and clean drinking water for your family. The question that now comes in is what kind of water purifier should you buy?
While RO purifiers have proved to be the most effective, depending upon the water quality in your area, you can opt for a different types of water purifier. When it comes to installation, water purifiers can either be wall-mounted, over-the-counter, or under-the-sink types.
What are Under-the-Sink Water Purifiers?
Under-the-sink RO water purifiers reflect a new generation water purifiers which are effective, unique and highly functional at the same time. Under-the-sink water purifiers are devices that are specially designed for use with such built-in modern sinks. These water purifiers are installed in connection with the main water source, but unlike other filters, these stay hidden under the sink within the built-in cupboard.
Wall-mounted purifiers, which were initially designed for the traditional Indian kitchens where there were no defined cabinets, are great for those who either have no built-in sink in their kitchen or for those who wish to have a purifier with faucet for direct supply. However, the under-the-counter/sink RO purifiers are specially designed for use with modern kitchens, and are already a popular water purifier type in the USA, Europe and other advanced countries.
Benefits of Under-the-Sink Water Purifiers
- Probably one of the most important factors in a modern kitchen, aesthetics, is what ‘under-the-sink water purifiers’ help with. These RO systems are compact in size and stay hidden inside the kitchen cabinet, normally right under the sink. They also save counter space which is essential for the smaller kitchens.
- Most under-the-counter purifiers provide a convenient curved tap or a dedicated purified water faucet, which is fitted on the sink next to the main tap. This makes it extremely easy to fill up water bottles.
- The dedicated tab on the sink makes most things suitable for filling water with convenience as you can keep the bottles on the sink, without needing to hold it in place. Also, this helps avoid water spillage since excess water falls directly into the sink.
- KENT’s under-the-sink water purifiers come with a hydrostatic air pressurized bladder tank that ensures that you receive purified water from the tap, at the same pressure, even when there is no electricity.
- Unlike most wall-mounted water purifiers that depend on gravity for water flow, which results in low pressure and takes time to fill the tank; under-the-sink purifiers generally produce larger amounts of purified water at a faster rate.
Therefore, you have a number of reasons to go for under-the-sink water purifier for unobstructed supply of purified water, at your convenience, all the while liberating more counter space in your kitchen!
