Our water sources are increasingly getting polluted. As a result the water we get is full of impurities and not fit for drinking.
Impurities found in drinking water can be broadly classified into:
Dissolved Impurities such as Pesticides, Rust, Heavy Metals, Arsenic, Fluoride etc. are harmful to our health. They may cause serious diseases such as cholera, hepatitis A & B, jaundice, typhoid and even cancer. They also spoil the taste of water. When these dissolved impurities are removed, the water becomes healthy as well as tasty.
The most commonly used methods of purification are Chlorination, Boiling, Ultra filtration (UF), Ultra Violet (UV) Disinfection and Reverse Osmosis (RO) Purification.
UV purification has been popular since last few years. It does kill bacteria and viruses but does not remove dissolved impurities such as Pesticides, Rust, Heavy Metals, Arsenic, and Fluoride etc. Also ‘khaara’ water does not become sweet.
RO purification is the latest technology to come up in the market and has gained popularity. Apart from killing bacteria and viruses, it effectively removes dissolved impurities as well. However, while doing so, it removes natural minerals also from the water which are essential to our health.
Thus it renders the water totally mineral-less. Such water can prove to be dangerous in the long run as it can lead to mineral deficiency in the body.
The need of the hour is to have a purification technology which effectively removes harmful dissolved impurities such as Pesticides, Rust, Heavy Metals, Arsenic, Fluoride, etc apart from other impurities like bacteria and viruses. At the same time, the purifier should retain essential natural minerals in drinking water. It should also work efficiently over a long period of time.
Thankfully, such a purification technology is available today!
Before you buy a purifier you need to get your water tested to find out what water condition you are faced with. Once you get the results you can pick a purifier that is equipped with the right technology to treat your water.
During the rains, sewage water mixes with drinking water sources and the distribution systems. It contaminates the water with pathogens that cause water borne disease like cholera, typhoid, paratyphoid, jaundice, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, dysentery etc.
The corporation water is not purified, but only treated. In most of the cases, water is treated or chlorinated using bleaching powder. Chlorination does not completely remove the impurities from water. Besides, chlorination itself contributes to making the water less potable, which means the water that reaches your kitchen, is loaded with impurities.
We have strict quality norms at our manufacturing facilities, in fact our products are also tested at reputed Labs.
The choice of purification technology entirely depends on the needs of the feed water. ie., the nature of contaminant load.
If the feed water has only physical, organic and microbial contaminations, a UV purifier can be ideally used. On the contrary, if the feed water has excessive inorganic contamination (TDS), heavy metals and other chemical contaminants in addition to physical and microbial loads, RO is the only choice.
Both UV and RO are time-tested, effective technologies applied for different water conditions.
Sarjan’s Ro purifier water should be stored in a cool and clean place, preferably in steel or glass containers. Avoid matkas or storage filters as they tend to breed microorganisms. For hygienic reasons, it is preferable to replace the stored water after two days.
SARJAN‘s R Platina Mineral RO water purifiers are combines the best of both RO and UV purification processes, while eliminating the limitations of a single technology to give 100% Safe, Healthy and Tasty water over a long period of time.
RO : Removes even Dissolved Impurities like Pesticides, Rust, Heavy Metals, Arsenic, Fluoride, etc, besides removing other impurities such as bacteria and viruses.
UF : Removes bacteria and cysts.
UV : With double purification, it ensures complete removal of remaining bacteria and viruses.
TDS Controller: Maintains essential natural minerals in purified water by adjustment of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) control valve.
SARJAN‘s R Platina Mineral RO Technology has the following distinct Advantages over conventional RO water purifiers:
Unlike conventional water purification processes based on a single technology, SARJAN R Platina water purifiers work through double purification by RO and UV/UF. It has the following distinct advantages:
The rejected water can be used for household purposes like washing utensils, watering plants, mopping, cleaning, etc.
Sarjan’s UV purifier has a 3-stage purification system which ensures you get water that is 'As Safe As Boiled Water that meets the stringent standards set by the USEPA for Microbiologically safe drinking water.
First, the water passes through the Sediment Filter which removes fine and coarse particulate impurities/dirt.
The second stage is the Activated carbon that removes remaining dirt, chlorine and organic impurities like harmful pesticides. It also adsorbs colour and odour causing organic compounds from water.
Then the water passes through the high intensity UV chamber which removes microbial contaminants like bacteria, virus and parasites.
You can use stored water for 2 days. If it is not used for more than 2 days we advise you to discard that water, refill and then consume.
UF membranes physically separate the bacteria and viruses and are the most ideal treatment for Surface Water / Municipal Water.
Rejection of water is less than 5%.
UF Systems are extremely cost-effective and with minimal maintenance cost.
Gravity Filter means that the water is filtered by normal gravity process, from the higher point to a lower point, without the help of any external force. The water flows from the top compartment to the bottom compartment, naturally
Purella uses the state of the art and latest UMF process. The first filter (sediment filter) will remove all suspended particles like dust, sand, small stones and other insoluble particles from the water. Second, carbon filter will further remove suspended particles from the water, improves taste of the water and get rid of germs and parasites from the water. Finally, UF membrane removes bacteria, cyst, and leaves water clean and healthy. It uses no chemicals to filter water or kill parasites.
RO, (reverse osmosis) uses force (pump) to push water thru RO membrane. Therefore, it uses electricity. Secondly, if not regulated, it will also cleanout essential minerals from the water. Thirdly, it also waste about 85% of water and therefore, it is expensive to operate and maintain. The cost per glass of drinking water is more expensive then gravity filters.
There is no need to boil or disinfect rge drinking water in any way, which is delivered by Purella
We have test certificates from reputed laboratories which show the quality of the water. They can be available on request.
The sediment filter can be rewashed, as shown in the instruction manual and can be reused, until it tears. The carbon block, needs to be backwashed once in 20-30 days, by the bellow pump, provided with the unit, and as shown in the instruction manual. The UFM is good for approximately 1500 litres of water. This UMF has to be replaced. It cannot be cleaned. Once the UFM nears the end of it’s life, the water will stop flowing from it. That is the time for replacement.
It is absolutely safe drinking water for everyone. In fact, it is better, since the water retains the minerals, which are necessary for children and elderly.
The product as such, is warranted for 1 year against any manufacturing defects. UMF kit, is a consumable and needs to be replaced, at a regular interval. Warrantee has been explained in details, on instruction manual.
It is very easy to assemble Purella unit. Complete assembly details are included in the instruction manual. However, for limited period, we shall deliver and install the purifier, at your home or office.
UMF kit is inexpensive. It is only priced at Rs. 300/- which can be had from company’s office or from the dealer from where you have purchased the purifier. It can be ordered directly from our office thru phone, e-mail and can be delivered at your door step, by courier.
