Today I would like to talk to you about a topic that we can't live without every day - the safety of drinking water and how to choose a water purification method. In fact, we all know “drink more hot water”, but have you ever thought, we usually drink into the stomach of the water, in the end, safe or not? In the end, do you need to filter it again? In the face of a variety of water purification equipment on the market, is not a little clueless? Don't worry, today I'll take you to run through the little knowledge of these water purification, so you can easily handle the home of the “drinking water”!
Why should we pay attention to home water safety?
Speaking of which, some babies may think: “My tap water is not already disinfected, why buy a water purifier?” In fact, although the tap water has gone through layers of control, but from the tap factory to your faucet, this way is not so simple. Pipeline aging, secondary pollution, residual chlorine residue ...... various circumstances may affect the mouth we finally drink into the mouth of that mouthful of pure. Especially for children, the elderly or people with sensitive constitutions, a reliable water purification is really important!
What are the mainstream water purification methods on the market?
I found that many friends say “home purification”, the first reaction is the barrel mineral + boiling, in fact, now on the market can be a wealth of choices! The most common are the following: activated carbon cartridge filtration, ultrafiltration membrane filtration, RO reverse osmosis filtration, as well as the central softener such as whole-house type of equipment.
Understand their respective temperament:
-Activated carbon filtration: strong deodorizing ability, can adsorb off the odor and some impurities, the price is friendly but can only stop “big particles”.
Ultra-filtration membrane filtration: pore size is smaller, bacteria and so on can also play a role, but for dissolved substances such as heavy metals is relatively powerless.
-RO reverse osmosis: almost anything can block, including heavy metals, bacteria and viruses, but some of the beneficial minerals will be intercepted with the human body, but also produces wastewater, so the environmental protection of the star must pay attention to oh.
-Central softening / whole-house filtration: generally suitable for large households or families with high quality of life requirements, can make bathing and laundry more comfortable, but also protects the appliances from scaling and erosion.
Adaptation is the key, each family has different needs
Many people ask me: “Is not the more expensive the more advanced the better?” Well, in fact, you really can not look at it this way. The key is to combine the actual situation of their own home to choose, otherwise it is a waste of money! For example, if your home in the southern city, the tap water usually taste good, there is no odor, then you can consider using activated carbon or ultra-filtration level of compact desktop machine, the economy does not take up space. If you live in the northern hardness of the region, often found in the bottom of the boiling pot has white crystals, then add a softening function is very friendly. And if there are children or pregnant women, especially concerned about health, but also feel that the local tap water usually bleach flavor is heavy, you can consider a step on the RO reverse osmosis machine. There are also some friends focus on convenience, such as the rental party, you can choose the kind of no installation directly screw faucet type of small water purifier, finished with the hand to take away, it's very convenient ~!
What are the obvious changes in the drinking experience after purification?
When you really start to use the right water purification equipment, you will find that the quality of life really improve a lot! Tea brewing out of no odor, water cups are not difficult to brush off the yellow scale, children brewing milk powder more at ease. Some babies just after the switch to RO pure, will think “how not as mellow as the mineral spring taste”? Don't worry, this is mainly because RO intercepts the dissolved minerals together, so the mouth feels lighter, but absolutely safe and hygienic. If you like to drink “a little sweet” sense of natural springs, you can also choose a new machine with trace element adjustment function.
By the way to tell you a cold knowledge - daily cooking and cooking, if you use a deep treatment of pure softened water, not only the bottom of the pot dry and crisp, and vegetables and meat original flavor can also reduce fumes.
How to scientifically maintain and use, so that the machine life becomes longer?
Often people complain that “used half a year out of the problem” “out of the new machine slow half a beat”, in fact, 80% are because of the neglect of routine maintenance. No matter what type of cartridge, must be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for regular replacement, or time is a 'source of pollution' base camp! Another tip is that, every day when not in use, it is best to close the inlet and outlet valves, so as to avoid abnormal pressure inside the machine. Also encountered power outages and other special periods, remember to discharge three minutes before use, so that the inside of the accumulated debris out and then normal access.
Warm reminder: Regularly observe the level of straightness and taste, once found to slow down or odor, to contact the after-sales service ~!
Future trends, new technology to make drinking more intelligent
Now more and more brands are launching intelligent linkage version, such as mobile APP remote monitoring cartridge life, water quality online test report, etc., a bit like adding a solid barrier to the family drinking. And the appearance of the design is also more and more beautiful, from the traditional “big” to the current mini desktop models, everything, whether it is a single apartment or three generations of the same family, can always find the right one.
Writing here, Susan would like to say, in fact, as long as you master the basic knowledge, according to their own living environment and the actual needs of a reasonable choice, you do not have to be completely by the market fancy publicity around the dizzy la ~ Healthy drinking, starting from a little bit of work; fit is really the king, after all, each family's situation is unique!
