The Problem we all
know exists:
1. In 2010, the UN General Assembly explicitly
recognized the human right to
water: ”Everyone has the right to
sufficient, continuous, safe, acceptable,
physically accessible and affordable
water for personal and domestic use”.
3. Contaminated water is root cause
2. Every year , water borne diseases cause of this problem, as per Welm

family is a curse that can not be ignored. blindly & take it for granted.
 BIS standard for
potable water has 16
parametres

How do we know we are drinking right

kind of water that will not catalyse
short, mid and long term diseases?
Yes you are right! By testing potable water regularly through
different methods

The RO GUY Water testing guy Brands

The maker is the Never seen around: Hmm… they claim
cheker here : not supposed to come every taller than bamboo tree,
done few months but , is there any
authentic proof?
There are two popular ways of testing

Soluble/reagent based Electronic sensor based

As they are consumables, they are Electronic based device gives more
indicative, mostly not accurate. accurate results of contamination
thereby helping preventive safety.
