Safe and clean drinking water is a basic human necessity. Hence, it is imperative for commercial establishments such as offices, hotels, hospitals, factories and schools to make it available for everyone on the premises. Since most commercial establishments need to treat large volumes of water, it makes good sense to install a commercial water purifier instead of a home purifier which is more suited to domestic use.
Reasons to Invest in Commercial Water Purifiers
Here are four reasons why you should consider a commercial water purifier:
- Remove Water Impurities
Untreated water contains viruses, bacteria, microorganisms, suspended particles, dissolved organic compounds, dissolved inorganic ions, and several other impurities. The water supplied by city and town municipalities in India may be also contaminated due to untreated solid wastes, sewage, and industrial effluent. According to a report on the quality of piped water across India, samples from most cities failed to comply with water quality parameters laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards.
NITI Aayog’s ‘Composite Water Resource Management: Performance of States’ report states that nearly 70% of water in India is contaminated and the country ranks 120th amongst 122 countries on the water quality index. These numbers indicate water purification is a must to give everyone access to clean water.
- Reduce Sick Days
Contaminated water is a major risk for the spread of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, jaundice, salmonellosis, Hepatitis A, fluorosis, and several other gastrointestinal infections. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), drinking water with dissolved impurities can also cause fever, headaches, kidney failure, and chronic diseases such as cancer.
Such waterborne diseases translate into more sick days, loss of work, and higher healthcare costs for your commercial establishment. A water purifier can remove harmful substances from water and help in keeping you healthy. .
- Increase Productivity
One research states that dehydration can adversely impact employee productivity, safety, morale, and decision-making and cognitive performance. A study revealed that adequate water intake at workplaces results in better physical and mental health outcomes for employees, thereby improving their productivity.
A water purifier is the most effective way to ensure that clean and pure water is available to employees to maintain their optimal hydration levels.
- Cost-Saving and Better for the Environment
One liter of bottled water costs anywhere between Rs13 and Rs20. Since commercial establishments consume gallons of water every day, bottled water is a huge expenditure. Moreover, it is a known fact that plastic water bottles are bad for the environment. Recent studies have even indicated that bottled water contains excessive levels of microplastics which can be detrimental to human health.
A commercial water purifier is a budget-friendly, environment-friendly, and health-friendly option.
Tips to Choose the Right Commercial Water Purifier
With several choices available in the commercial water purifier market, the following tips will help you make an informed choice:
- Check Water Purification Technology
There are two popular water purification technologies – Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultraviolet (UV).
RO technology can remove up to 95% of TDS. RO water purifier is recommended when drinking water comes from groundwater with a TDS level of more than 500 PPM.
UV technology makes waterborne pathogens inactive and destroys their DNA by exposing them to UV light of wavelength 254 nm. It can be combined with pre-filtration for higher effectiveness. A UV water purifier is recommended when drinking water comes from surface water from the municipal corporation and has a TDS level of less than 500 PPM.

- Brand Reputation
Another parameter of comparison is brand reputation. Check how long the brand has been selling the water purifiers in the market, what is the range of its products and whether it holds necessary certifications for acceptable water quality standards. Read online testimonials if available.
- After-Sales Service
A commercial water purifier needs routine maintenance, repairs and replacements to ensure it supplies clean and pure water all the time. Check for after-sales service terms and conditions with the brand before purchase.
