Does water purifier really cost water? In fact, the right way to save heart and water!

Home installed a water purifier, want to drink a mouthful of clean pure water, the result is to hear around a variety of groans, such as many people say that the water purifier is too wasteful of water ah, every day look at the kitchen sewer clattering away so much “wastewater”, heartbreaking. Are you also like me, always feel that the money spent on water purifiers is not health, but the loss of tap water for nothing? Don't worry, this problem is not as exaggerated as you think, it is likely that you just don't fully understand how it works and how to use the tips!

Let's talk about the most important issue: why do so many people feel that the water purifier is very wasteful? In fact, many traditional reverse osmosis (RO) technology water purifiers, in the filtration process does produce a certain percentage of by-products known as “concentrated water” or “wastewater”. Let's say you use up ten liters of pure drinking water a day, you may need to consume twenty liters or more of tap water through an older machine, because only a portion of it can be turned into good, clean water that we can drink directly into our mouths. However, please note that these so-called “waste” of concentrated water, in fact, not really all unavailable.

[Misunderstanding remind]: Many friends think that these concentrated water is contaminated with dirt, in fact, most of the time it is just dissolved some minerals, impurities and trace heavy metals, compared to unfiltered tap water, sanitation has not deteriorated, just not suitable for direct consumption.

Then again, what exactly makes people think there is a serious waste. Some people think that the new high-end machine should be more energy-saving, but found that after a few days of use out of the waste level is also quite a lot, so there is a question: “Is it the better the machine instead of the more fee?” In fact, this is not the case, most of the new intelligent RO machine on the market has been waste / pure ratio of 1:1 or even lower, that is to say, you drink 1 liter of pure drinking water, roughly will only be discharged about 1 liter of concentrated water, than the early 2:1 or even 3:1 to save a lot. There are some brands in the promotional materials indicate that they can achieve 0.5:1, that is, every half a liter only one liter is discharged. But the specific effect also depends on the local tap water usually situation, such as high hardness, turbid water, impurities, when the production of pure drinking part is relatively less.

Then there is no way to make these are discharged concentrated water to play some value? Of course there is! It's our turn to bring our life wisdom online. For example, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, flushing toilets, mopping and other daily life do not have to be particularly clean can be a good level of drinking standards, can be collected by the machine but not too dirty “by-products”. Simply add a diversion valve or prepare a larger water storage bucket, flush out those who should be into the sewer partners to help complete the family's other cleaning tasks, two birds with one stone, but also a special sense of accomplishment!

[Operation tips]: If you are worried about the hassle of connecting the water pipes, there are now also specialized supporting recycling components for sale, do not need a professional installer, generally follow the instructions to operate a little bit, you can realize the automatic diversion - environmental protection and economic.

Here, is not the feeling of the previous rumors about the “super waste” seems to be demolished layer? In addition to smart collection and reuse, there is another detail that is easy to overlook, is the abnormal wear and tear caused by clogged filter cartridges. If you forget to change the cartridge for a long time or are lazy about maintenance, the machine will be forced to rinse more times to reach the set standard due to the higher resistance, which will naturally lead to a decrease in the purity rate and an increase in the waste level. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the cartridge life reminder diligently and replace it in time according to the actual usage frequency.

Let's not forget that there are many innovative, ultra-low or even zero-emission “no-waste” solutions on the market today. These products optimize the internal circulation structure, so that most of the tap level into the machine can be converted into high quality and good level can be directly quoted. For example, double-stage RO membrane stack or special booster pump design, can be originally should be discarded as a by-product of that part of the re-return to the first process of reuse. Not only reduce the overall loss, but also enhance the life of the machine. Of course, the price is correspondingly high, but for the pursuit of the ultimate environmental protection and long-term cost-effective users is also a good choice.

[Purchase advice]: When selecting new don't just look at the promotional page to write how many levels of filtration, more attention should be paid to the official provision of clear numerical indicators such as the production / discharge ratio and rated flux data, if the after-sales service is perfect can also help to remotely detect faults, then the maintenance of the future is more relaxed and assured.

Finally, we should emphasize that each kind of home appliances have their own operating rules, there is no need to deny the whole industry because of some kind of prejudice and efforts to bring the convenience of the experience; especially in so many cities in China, the supply of complex, different water environments, if you rely entirely on bottled mineral springs or simply boiling boiling, that's really both expensive and exhausting. So the correct cognition and flexible use of modern technology is our ordinary family life can save money, save energy, but also take into account the health and environmental protection of the magic weapon ah!

Today's article I hope to be able to be hesitant to install or have begun to struggle with how to reduce waste of small partners to bring some inspiration. If you think the content is still quite useful, you may wish to collect and forward to share with more friends with reference to discuss, maybe someday they encountered the same embarrassment, but also can rely on your experience to help find the best answer, so that the happy life from the “a cup of peace of mind and good” clean drinking start it!
