Latest Whirlpool water purifier Destroyer review
The Whirlpool Destroyer World 61005 6-Litre Water Purifier is the latest in the Whirlpool range of water purifiers. This is a very unque water purifier. It does not require electriciy to work, but even then, it performs as good as an RO water purifier. It removes dangerous heavy metal contamination from water and also gets rid of all bacteria, virus and cysts from water. It is also cheap at less than half the price of some of the cheaper models of RO water purifiers.
It should be noted that the Whirlpool Destroyer water purifier should only be used with water under 500 ppm TDS. What TDS means is explained in our page on water impurities.. Municipal or Corporation supplied tap water in the major cities of India are normally under 500ppm TDS. So for city tap water the Whirpool Destroyer water purifier is ideal. This purifier is not ideal to use with brewell or well water. For that we recommend an RO water purifier.

The Whirlpool Destroyer Water Purifier is a wall mounted water purifier with 6 litres purified water tank. The special EAT filter element in the Whirlpool Destroyer Water Purifier can purify upto 2200 litres of water, after which it should be replaced. For a normal house with 2 adults and 2 children, the average drinking water usage for both cooking and drinking is about 15 to 20 litres. This means that each Whirlpool Destroyer Water Purifier EAT replaceable filter cartridge element should last for about 4 months. Any way there is an automatic cutoff in the Whirlpool Destroyer water purifier when it reaches maximum capacity.
These are the filtration steps in a Whirlpool Destroyer Water Purifier
- External cartridge pre filter
- Mechanical filtration screen which removes any remaining sand, dust and other solid particles remaining after passing through the pre-filter
- Electro adhesion filter element. This is a highly positively charged filter media which can adsorb, that is to act like a magnet and remove the negatively charged bacteria, viruses and cysts (the tiny eggs of some parasites present in water)
- Ion-exchange resin which can remove heavy metal ions like that of Arsenic and Lead.
- Activated carbon which adsorbs and removes chlorine, organic chemicals like pesticides and endotoxins.
