Part 5: WATER EDUCATION SERIES Helping Filipino Families Make Smarter Water Decisions

How a Water Purifier Works

A drinking water purifier uses several stages to produce clean drinking water.

Most systems include:

1. Sediment filtration

2. Activated carbon filtration

3. Fine filtration or Reverse Osmosis (depending on the model)

4. Final polishing with carbon or UV sterilization

Each stage removes different impurities to improve taste, clarity, and overall water quality.

A purifier is designed specifically for drinking water and is different from a whole-house water softener.
