Did you know that...
Since ancient times, humanity has sought to guarantee the quality of its water?
Ancient civilizations already used sand filtration, boiling, or other natural processes to purify water.
Today, in the face of much more complex pollution, it is essential to adopt modern, effective and sustainable solutions to protect your health and that of your loved ones.
What is water purification?
Imagine being able to turn any water source into a perfectly safe and safe resource. This is exactly what modern purification allows: a decontamination process that removes:
- Unwanted chemicals that threaten your health
- Biological contaminants that are dangerous for your animals
- Suspended solids troubling your installations
- Dissolved gases impairing quality
The objective?
Produce water tailored to YOUR specific needs. Whether you are a family looking to secure your well, a farmer protecting your livestock, or a community guaranteeing public health, modern treatment methods meet your exact requirements:
- Medical applications requiring absolute purity
- Pharmacological needs requiring zero contamination
- Chemical and industrial treatments requiring consistent quality
Purification method
Faced with the diversity of possible contaminations, what solution should be chosen to guarantee truly drinkable water? Learn about the main purification methods, how they can benefit your situation, and how to get the most out of your investment.
Filtering
Gravity Filtration
With no electricity or running costs, these systems use ceramic elements or activated carbon to naturally remove impurities, bacteria and cysts. Ideal for rural areas or as a back-up solution, this method is perfect for families looking for a self-sufficient and sustainable solution.
Activated carbon filtration
Activated carbon immediately improves the taste and odor of your water by adsorbing chemical and organic contaminants. Excellent in addition to other methods, it meets the needs of local authorities wishing to improve user comfort.
| Benefits | Disadvantages |

| Works without electricity | Sometimes limited throughput |
| Eliminates unpleasant taste and odors | Does not eliminate all viruses |
Boiling
| Benefits | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Proven | ancestral methodHigh energy consumption |
| Kills most pathogens | Does not remove chemical contaminants |
| Accessible everywhere | Unsuitable for large volumes |
Distillation
| Benefits | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Very high purity obtained | High energy cost |
| Removes most contaminants | Slow process |
| Ideal for small volumes | Totally demineralizes water |
Reverse osmosis
| Benefits | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Maximum efficiency (99% of contaminants) | Significant initial investment |
| Eliminates all types of pollution | Requires sufficient pressure |
| Consistent quality guaranteed | Consumes water (discharge) |

FAQ
What is the most effective method for purifying water at home?
For maximum protection suitable for family wells, the combination of UV disinfection + pre-filtration represents the best efficiency/investment ratio. This solution eliminates 99.99% of pathogens while preserving beneficial minerals. Farmers will particularly appreciate industrial UV systems sized to treat large volumes of water for animals. Contact our experts for a free sizing tailored to your specific needs.
Is boiled water as pure as UV filtered or reverse osmosis water?
No, and it’s crucial for your health! Boiling kills microorganisms but leaves heavy metals, pesticides and pharmaceutical residues intact – especially dangerous for children and farm animals. The UV systems of 1H2o3 guarantee complete disinfection without altering the beneficial mineral composition of your water. A vital difference for communities responsible for public health.
Do you need to use a different water purification method for rainwater?
Absolutely! Rainwater requires a specific treatment in several stages. Our complete drinking water treatment kit integrates sediment prefiltration + UV disinfection to transform this free resource into perfectly drinkable water. Ideal for families wishing to reduce their water bills and farmers who value this sustainable resource for their livestock.
What is the lifespan of a UV water disinfection system?
1H2o3 systems are built to last! High-performance UV lamps: 13,000 hours (approx. 18 months of continuous use). Stainless steel reactor guaranteed for 5 years. A sustainable investment that quickly pays for itself thanks to the absence of chemical consumables. Our maintenance contracts guarantee optimal efficiency year after year.
What is the difference between filtration and water purification?
Filtration removes visible particles (sand, sediment) – an essential first step. Purification goes further by removing or inactivating ALL contaminants: microorganisms, chemical pollutants, heavy metals. The 1H2o3 integrated systems combine the two for total protection.
