Aqua purifiers consist of energy source which source which radiates UV rays. Oxygen is converted to ozone in presence of ultra violet rays. The ozone decomposis into oxygen and nascent oxygen in presence of UV rays. The nascent oxygen has ability to kill the harmful micro organisms present in water and hence water gets purified.
