Indian Government recommended the TDS level of water for Human consumption is 120-140 and if it is near about 150 to 170 there is no need for RO water purifier. But if it is more than 180 then it is strongly recommended that RO technology can reduce the TDS level of water there is no use of UV technology In accessories Whirlpool introduces a wide range for products which is very useful for Home Appliances.
