In Qatar, clean and safe drinking water is essential for healthy living. While many households rely on bottled water, some prefer to install water purifiers at home for daily use. At Almas Water, we believe in promoting safe hydration—whether it’s from bottled water or home filtration systems. This blog is a helpful guide for anyone considering installing a drinking water purifier for home use in Qatar.

Why Install a Drinking Water Purifier at Home?

Installing a water purifier can help you:

• Improve the taste and odor of tap water
  
  
• Reduce possible contaminants like chlorine, sand, or sediments
  
  
• Provide peace of mind about daily water use for drinking and cooking
  
  

In areas where tap water quality is inconsistent, a purifier can offer an added layer of safety—especially for families with children, elderly people, or those with health concerns.

Types of Home Water Purifiers

Before installation, choose a purifier that fits your needs. Common types include:

• RO (Reverse Osmosis) – Removes dissolved salts and heavy metals
  
  
• UV Purifiers – Uses ultraviolet light to kill germs
  
  
• UF (Ultrafiltration) – Removes bacteria and impurities without electricity
  
  
• Gravity-Based Purifiers – Best for areas with low water pressure
  
  

Understanding your local water quality helps in picking the right one.

How to Install a Water Purifier at Home

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to installing most types of purifiers:

1. Choose the Right Spot

Select a location in your kitchen:

• Near a water source
  
  
• With access to a drainage outlet
  
  
• Close to a power socket (for electric models)
  
  

2. Mount the Purifier (If Wall-Mounted)

• Use the guide provided with your purifier to mark and drill holes
  
  
• Fix the mounting bracket and secure the unit
  
  

3. Connect the Inlet Pipe

• Attach the pipe from your kitchen tap or a dedicated inlet
  
  
• Ensure the connections are tight to prevent leaks
  
  

4. Set Up the Drainage

• Connect the waste water pipe from the purifier to the sink or drain
  
  

5. Plug in and Flush

• Turn on the water and power
  
  
• Let the system flush out the first few litres of filtered water before drinking
  
  

Things to Keep in Mind

• Water pressure matters – Some purifiers need minimum pressure to work effectively
  
  
• Follow the user manual – Each model has unique instructions
  
  
• Change filters regularly – This keeps the water clean and the unit running smoothly
  
  

If you’re unsure or the system seems complicated, it’s always safer to hire a professional technician.

Almas Water Tip: Consider Bottled Water as a Safe Option

While purifiers are a great solution, bottled mineral water remains a reliable choice for many homes in Qatar. At Almas Water, we deliver clean, high-quality bottled water that meets safety standards—perfect for those who want a convenient and worry-free hydration option.
