Water Purification Basics: Methods, Benefits & Common Uses

Water Purification Basics: Methods, Benefits & Common Uses Water is essential for life — but untreated water can carry harmful contaminants that affect health and damage equipment. In this article, we’ll explore the most common water purification methods, their benefits, and how to choose the right system for your needs.

Common Methods of Water Purification 1. Filtration Filtration is the first line of defense. It removes visible particles like sand, rust, and sediment using physical barriers. It’s common in home systems and is often used as a pre-treatment step before advanced purification. 2. Reverse Osmosis (RO) RO is a powerful method that forces water through a semipermeable membrane to remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, and other contaminants. It's ideal for dri...
