From Lead to Mercury: What Does Advanced UV Purification with HMR Actually Remove from Your Water?

Your drinking water might look clean, but it can still contain impurities that are not visible to the naked eye. As water passes through old, rusty pipelines, it can pick up contaminants such as heavy metals, and other impurities like pesticides and microplastics may also be present. Since these contaminants cannot always be detected by sight or taste, it becomes important to select a water filter for home with a purification process that removes multiple impurities.

Aquaguard water purifiers with advanced UV Purification with Heavy Metal Removal (UV+HMR) are designed to provide comprehensive purification by addressing different types of contaminants as part of a multi-stage purification process. This has majorly become possible with the help of Aquaguard Nanpore Long-Life filter with Titanium Media.

If you are wondering about what HMR in a water purifier is, this guide will help you clear your doubts.
 

What Does Advanced UV Purification with HMR Remove from Drinking Water

Aquaguard water purifiers with Advanced UV purification with HMR remove certain impurities from the water, such as:

• Heavy Metals: Lead, Mercury, Arsenic and Cadmium

  Since heavy metals cannot be detected through visual, taste and smell, many people may end up drinking water contaminated with heavy metals.

   

• Microplastics and Pesticides

  In addition to the heavy metals, Aquaguard water purifiers with advanced UV purification target microplastics and pesticides to ensure your family receives pure and clean drinking water.

How Heavy Metal Removal Fits into the Advanced UV Purification Process

Heavy metal removal is a process of removing heavy metal contamination from the water. It is incorporated into the advanced UV purification as part of a multi-stage purification process. In this, different layers of the filtration process trap different kinds of impurities to ensure your family receives clean and safe drinking water.

Within this filtration process comes the Aquaguard Nanpore Long-Life filter with Titanium Media. This filter contains ultra-fine pores that work to reduce the contaminant load.  As water passes through this water filter, titanium media attracts impurities, including heavy metals. This extra layer provides an additional layer of purification, ensuring the water is fit for consumption.

Why a Multi-Stage Purification Process Matters

Different contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microplastics require different purification mechanisms. A single-stage purification system may not be able to handle all the water contaminants efficiently. 
This is why heavy metal removal has been incorporated into a multi-stage purification process, where different layers of purification remove a wide variety of water impurities simultaneously and deliver purified water for daily use.

Aquaguard water purifiers are equipped with multi-stage purification involving advanced UV purification with HMR.
