With so many water purifiers on the market, how do you make the right choice?
Here are the key factors to help you find a system that fits your daily needs:
💧🔬 Filtration Method: Efficiency Comes First
Good filtration removes chemical residues, chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, and even microplastics. The technology used makes all the difference.
Main filtration types include:
- Activated carbon (effective for taste and odor),
- Ultrafiltration (targets fine particles),
- UV light (neutralises bacteria and viruses),
- Reverse osmosis – the most complete, removing up to 99.9% of over 1000 contaminants.
Water purifier vs filter jug: which is better?
Pitchers and tap filters mostly rely on activated carbon. They’re great for chlorine taste or odor but limited against some invisible pollutants. A reverse osmosis (RO) water purifier, however, includes multiple filters (sediment, carbon, RO membrane) and eliminates most harmful substances. Downside? It also removes essential minerals — which brings us to the next point.
💧⚡️ Remineralisation: For Healthy, Great-Tasting Water
Over-purified water can taste flat or even slightly acidic — and without minerals, may be less beneficial long-term. That’s why some systems add minerals back into the water for balance and better taste.
⚠️ Be careful: Not all remineralisation technologies are equal. A basic passive remineralising filter can give inconsistent results depending on water contact time or filter age. For a real alternative to bottled mineral water, go for active, controlled remineralisation — ensuring consistently mineralised water with great taste.
💧⭐️ Brand Reliability: Safety and Peace of Mind
A water purifier is a health device, so your should check which brands of water purifiers are most reliable. It should be rigorously designed, certified (e.g. NSF58), and supported by good customer service. Choose a reliable brand with quality materials and traceable production.
💧✨ Design & Size: A Matter of Space and Style
Some purifiers are installed under the sink, others sit on the countertop. A good kitchen water filter with no installation should be compact, quiet, stylish, and convenient for everyday use.
Under-sink models are discreet but require fixed installation — not ideal if you move house. Countertop “plug & play” systems are far easier to integrate and more flexible.
A design water filter for the kitchen is also a great way to combine wellness and aesthetics.
💧💵 Price: How Much Does a Compact Water Purifier Cost?
For a quality model, prices generally range between €400 and €800 depending on features (filtration power, flow rate, noise, remineralisation, design, filter life, aroma options, etc.).
What About LANGWATER?
A true Swiss alternative to bottled water
We created LANGWATER to offer water as pure and balanced as bottled mineral water — without plastic.
We chose reverse osmosis, known as the most effective filtration technology. A dual pre-filter (sediment and carbon) protects the RO membrane, and a final UV stage ensures complete purification.
Our Swiss engineers designed a unique system with no internal tank: water is purified instantly on demand — avoiding stagnation and any risk of bacterial contamination.
And as no existing remineralisation system met our standards, we spent over 12 years developing a patented liquid-based technology: LANGPAK.
The result? Premium, constantly mineralised water — customisable, with or without natural flavours — right at home.
