Depending on the water quality in your home, you can select the most suitable water purifier for you and your family. Water purifiers also differ based on their mode of installation, with the most popular types being wall-mounted and tabletop counter water purifiers, commonly used in homes. However, another type, the under-the-counter water purifier, is gaining popularity in many households that seek space utilization in their homes. Traditional wall-mounted or table counter water purifiers can occupy a significant amount of kitchen space. In contrast, under-the-counter water purifiers are positioned below the sink, offering more kitchen space and contributing to a more aesthetically appealing look.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to under-the-counter water purifiers.
What are Under-the-Counter Water Purifiers?
Under-the-counter or under-the-sink water purifiers are compact filtration systems designed to fit perfectly beneath the kitchen sink. They generally come with a different faucet to give you access to pure and safe water easily. Additionally, they effectively remove impurities, such as lead, mercury, bacteria, and viruses, just like wall-mounted and table-top water purifiers.
Factors to consider when buying an under-the-counter water purifier
-
Purification Technology
Most under-the-sink water purifiers come with advanced RO and UV technology. RO removes viruses, bacteria, chemicals, pesticides, and heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic from water. UV, on the other hand, delivers water that is as safe and pure as water boiled for over 20 minutes. If you are looking for an under-the-counter water purifier with both RO and UV technology, opt for the Aquaguard Select Geneus UTC Water Purifier. This water purifier fits perfectly under the sink of your modular kitchen and comes with a separate faucet to give you easy access to drinking water. The water purifier comes with Aquaguard’s patented Active Copper and Zinc Booster Technology that infuses the right amount of copper and zinc ions into your water.

Choosing a sufficient storage capacity will help you have enough clean water for your everyday requirements. Most Aquaguard under-the-counter water purifiers have a large storage capacity that ensures purified water on tap, all the time.

Water Flow Rate
How fast an under-the-sink water purifier can dispense clean water to your faucet depends on its water flow rate. Higher flow rates guarantee a more timely and effective supply. Most Aquaguard under-the-sink water purifiers have a high water dispensing rate. For instance, Aquaguard UTC UV Water Purifier can give you two litres of water per minute, making it one of the best water purifiers with a high flow rate.
