Is this the same as a standard RO purifier from a shop?

No. Standard RO purifiers are generic systems not designed for your specific water. UNIWATER designs your drinking water treatment based on your actual water quality test — preventing the common problems of wrong-sized RO, membrane scaling from hard water, and inadequate pre-treatment.

Can I use the same system for cooking?

Yes. An under-sink drinking water system typically supplies both the dedicated tap and can be used for all cooking water. UNIWATER sizes the storage and flow rate for realistic daily drinking and cooking usage.

Do I still need a whole-house system if I get a drinking water solution?

They serve different purposes. A drinking water solution gives you clean water for consumption. A whole-house system protects your plumbing, appliances, and bathroom from hardness, iron, or sediment. Many homes benefit from both — UNIWATER will advise on the right combination for your situation.

How much water does it produce per day?

Typical under-sink RO-based systems produce 50–150 litres per day depending on model and input pressure. UNIWATER sizes the system to meet your household's drinking and cooking needs reliably.

Drinking Water Solution

Clean, safe drinking water — tailored to your source and needs

A whole-house water softener or filter treats your plumbing and appliances — but your drinking and cooking water often needs a dedicated, higher-performance treatment stage. UNIWATER's Drinking Water Solution is a survey-led under-sink or countertop system combining the right combination of filtration, carbon treatment, and purification for your specific source water. Unlike generic RO purifiers bought off a shelf, UNIWATER's drinking water design is based on your actual water quality.

Signs you may need this system

Packaged water as sole reliable drinking source

Frequent scaling or service calls on existing purifier

Chemical or mineral taste in drinking water

High TDS reading on existing water (above 300–500 ppm for daily drinking)

Uncertain water quality from mixed or tanker supply

How it works

Source-Appropriate Design

System designed for your specific source — municipal, borewell, tanker, or mixed — not a one-size-fits-all product

Multi-Contaminant Removal

Combines sediment filtration, carbon treatment, and membrane purification for comprehensive drinking water safety

Pre-Treatment Protects the Membrane

Hard water pre-treatment prevents the premature membrane failure that causes frequent purifier breakdowns in many Indian homes

Taste and Quality Improvement

Post-carbon polishing stage ensures water is clean, crisp-tasting, and free of residual odour or chemical taste

Under-Sink or Countertop

Available in under-sink compact design or countertop format — installed based on your kitchen layout and usage

Problems it solves

High TDS drinking water from borewell or mixed supply
Chemical taste or residual chlorine in tap water
Bacterial and viral risk from questionable source water
Scaling inside drinking water purifiers from hard water input
Arsenic, nitrate, or fluoride in groundwater-sourced drinking supply

Where it's used

Homes wanting safe, good-tasting drinking and cooking water
Households on high-TDS borewell supply
Apartments receiving municipal water with chlorine or chemical taste
Homes already running whole-house systems wanting a dedicated drinking stage
Offices and commercial kitchens needing reliable drinking water

The UNIWATER approach

UNIWATER evaluates your source water parameters — TDS, hardness, chlorine, microbial risk, and specific contaminants — before designing your drinking water treatment. For hard water input, we may recommend a pre-softening or anti-scalant stage to protect the RO membrane. For borewell water, iron and arsenic removal stages are considered. The result is a system designed for your water, not a generic model picked from a brochure.
