Seeking Advice: Choosing a Water Purifier for My Home

Hope you're all doing well! I'm in need of some advice and recommendations regarding water purifiers.

.

I've been using a water camper service for a while now, and it's been good in terms of water quality. However, purchasing water daily from the camper service has become a bit inconvenient, and I'm now considering buying a water purifier for my home.

.

I did a TDS check on both my tap water and the camper water. The results were quite surprising - my tap water has a TDS level of 100, while the camper water has a significantly low TDS level of 02, which I believe doesn't meet the WHO standards.

.

Now, I'm a bit confused about what type of water purifier I should go for. Since my tap water's TDS level is already at 100, I want to maintain the beneficial minerals in the water while ensuring it's safe for consumption. Direct consuming my Tap water causes digestion issues, that's the first reason why I had shifted to Camper water services.

.

If anyone has experience or knowledge about water purifiers, I'd greatly appreciate your insights and recommendations. Please suggest the best options considering my tap water's TDS level and my preference to retain beneficial minerals.

.

Thank you all in advance for your time and assistance!

Don't buy RO, normal UV+UF ones will be according to your needs... some people recommend locally assembled ones (try to find a shop where they sell/assemble full kit and spare parts too)...

If ur municipality water is already good..then i wld suggest kent ultra 3 in 1....it has carbon filter...sediment filter and UV filter

U can replace filters by urself too..not very tuff

RO is most useful technique in water filtration. And this is best for drinking water filtration. Yes it require more energy and lot wastage of water. Any reason for recommendation of RO ? I don't think UF+UV enough for water filtration

I think he said that because my tap water TDS level is already at the appropriate level.

You are wrong .. RO is SCAM .. 

RO is usefull only when water TDS is 400+ .

Sediment + UV + UF you are fit to go .. get any regular brand .. cheap maintenance .

Check this recently bought uv+uf

water taste is nice

UV + UF filters out bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. If we don't use RO the TDS remains the same as earlier, right? Or does it reduce a bit as well due to UV + UF filtration? 

BTW, did you buy it on Prime Day, how much did it cost?

IN GENERAL:

RO is only useful when TDS is above 1200.

Otherwise nano filteration is best option to maintain minerals from water. 

nano filter works by allowing single atoms only to pass, thus it will keep minerals intact.

Also this technology is developed by BARC. 

Always keep TDS 15-300. NF+UV is best option.

Check peore purifiers which offers various NF+UV for different tap water TDS.

-Now coming to author's question.

As TDS is only 100 tap., Go for purifiers with minerals cartidge, minerals cartidge will add necessary minerals to your water.

This should not be useful for everyone. as natural water minerals has better mineral quality and mix.

TDS level100 is still surprise to me. check once again with another TDS meter.

It's 98-102. Our Tap water source is actually a private company. The TDS meter is working correctly because have checked the TDS of other water samples like compressor water where the TDS is 300 Level.

TA is just an addition of minerals back to water as RO removes all minerals. UF is a filtration technique. Don't compare UF with TA.
