Drinking tap water for years is fine, do you need to install a water purifier or not? An in-depth answer to tell the truth

To be honest, on the topic of “drinking tap water for so many years, there is no problem, there is no need to install a water purifier”, every year there are always a lot of friends will be at the dinner table, the family group or move to a new home when talking about it. Some people think it is a business marketing gimmick, some people say that the neighbors are installed their own is not also have to follow the trend. In fact, this is really not a “get used to it” can be resolved. Today we will chatter about this water purifier, I hope that after reading your heart can have a clearer answer.

When we were young, we used well water in the countryside, sometimes with the smell of mud, adults said to boil on the line. Later, the city popularized tap water, we all think it is convenient and safe, many people still insist that as long as you drink a few decades without problems, that tap water must be reliable. Undoubtedly, for many years most people's health is indeed quite good, but you find no, now more and more people with gastrointestinal discomfort, children's skin sensitivity is not surprising, there are many families to buy bottled mineral water to go home as a regular.

Behind these phenomena actually hides a big background - we live in the environment and drinking needs have changed dramatically.

Many cities, although the process of upgrading the water plant, but the process of delivery to the residents of the home to go through a long pipeline, and these old pipe network inevitably rust, impurities and even microorganisms such as mixing, coupled with the occasional burst pipe maintenance and whatnot, you open the faucet that moment out of the flow may not all be pure and unpolluted in your imagination of the taste of the mountain springs. Of course, tap water is usually boiled, most bacteria and viruses can indeed be killed by high temperature, but like heavy metals, chlorine, pesticide residues, these things are very difficult to rely on boiling alone to get rid of.

Maybe you're asking, “I soaked frogs in my village well when I was a kid, and now I'm healthy as ever!” This topic can really resonate, after all, in the past, we have a strong resistance, a variety of additives, chemicals are far from now so much, and the human life expectancy is not like now so the pursuit of high quality, if just to “live”, that really do not need to be too careful. But the quality of modern life has improved, people are more and more concerned about the details of health, such as baby milk powder to use a little pure hot water, the elderly hope that cooking taste better, there are a lot of beauty partners brushing teeth and washing their faces also want to avoid stimulating impurities, these small daily needs are slowly becoming the new standard for the family.

Application Scenario

-Family daily drinking (directly connected to the faucet to drink or give the baby milk powder)

-Cooking (e.g. making soup, blanching vegetables)

-Personal care (washing face and brushing teeth to reduce skin irritation)

-Pet care (aquariums and fish ponds need to be nourished)

There are a variety of water purifiers on the market, ranging from the cheapest several hundred dollars of small cartridges to large-capacity reverse osmosis equipment that can easily cost several thousand dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars, all claiming to be able to take care of the dirty stuff all the way through. Many people are tangled because they do not understand what it can really do, in fact, the principle is not complicated, roughly divided into two types:

A kind of ultra-filtration purification, that is, through special materials to the larger particles of impurities blocked down, but for the dissolved in the water of the heavy metals or viruses may have a limited effect; the other type of reverse osmosis RO technology, like a very fine sieve, most of the impurities, including heavy metal ions, organic pollutants, bacteria and viruses are isolated from the outside. The other type is called reverse osmosis RO technology, like a very fine sieve, to most of the impurities, including heavy metal ions, organic pollutants, bacteria and viruses are isolated from the outside, but this equipment out of the pure water usually slower, but also prone to waste concentrated water, need to consider the installation space and maintenance costs.

 

[Function Analysis

Ultra-filtration: suitable for small families who are sensitive to general sediment and rust, and are troubled by slight residual chlorine and odor but have limited budget;

RO reverse osmosis class: suitable for the pursuit of high standards of direct drinking effect, infants and young children / pregnant women / the elderly special concern for the health of the crowd;

However, some friends are concerned about “is not too clean filtration will be all the minerals out of it?” This point is currently quite controversial in the industry, from a nutritional point of view, the main source of minerals needed for a day or food rather than drinking water, as long as usually eat a rich and balanced diet, drink a little bit of pure water basically will not affect your health. So if you have high requirements for taste and safety, you don't have to worry about it at all.

Of course, not every family has to install a large, expensive and complex equipment. Some areas of smooth water supply, relatively clean water, coupled with a small family size and low frequency of use, with a simple model cartridge pot or wall-mounted pre-filter can fully meet the basic needs. If they are in the district building age is new, water pressure is sufficient, you can also choose to rent a flexible trial. If you live in the old city or encountered a burst pipe stopped supply, home faucet often yellow rust precipitation and other conditions, it is recommended that conditions allow to try to buy a little stronger performance products.

[Applicable object analysis

-Old houses in urban areas / top floor tenants / often stop repair for

-Infants and young children, pregnant women and the elderly mostly

-Sensitive to the taste or have found a foreign color and odor

Add another point, there are netizens worried about maintenance trouble, in fact, the regular brand products for core cycle have reminders, and the operation is not complicated, as long as the instructions for a year to change the cartridge, compared to running to the supermarket every day to carry a bucket of mineral water convenient and save money too much. And after-sales service is gradually perfect, even if the girls live alone do-it-yourself installation and replacement is no pressure.

After all is said and done, in fact, whether you need to install purification equipment in the final analysis or to look at their own needs and the actual local situation. If you are usually very health-conscious and want to give yourself and your family more peace of mind, convenience and comfort in your daily life, then it is definitely worth investing in a suitable and reliable machine. If you feel that the temporary budget is tight, you can also start with a simple economic models, the use of the experience and the actual effect of the combination, and then decide whether to upgrade to one step, no need to blindly compare and follow the trend, everyone has their own rhythm and the right to choose.

Finally, I'd like to share one more word from my heart - no one stipulates that there must be a uniform answer, and no one stipulates that only one way of life is considered correct. I just hope that each of us can understand the logic behind the most suitable for their own choices, in every meal and every cup of tea to guard the warmth and peace of mind belonging to the home!

If you still have any questions or want to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different brands and models, you may wish to leave a message to exchange, and together we will live more and more comfortable!
