The gravity-based water purifiers basically consist of three filters:
Microfiber mesh or Pre-filter: This filter is attached to the uppermost tank and when water is allowed to pass through this, larger particles like sand, dust, mud, etc. get removed.
Activated carbon filter: This stage is a crucial one in which more minute particles, invisible impurities, and chemical contaminants are effectively removed. It also reduces bad odors and colors from the water. It also removes parasites and pesticides.
Polisher or Post-carbon filter: Its basic aim is to re-filter the purified water to make it crystal clear.
