Don't be silly to wait for the water to turn yellow before changing the filter! Teach you a quick trick to identify the water purifier should not change the “heart”.

Recently, a lot of friends around me are asking me, the home of the water purifier in the end how often to change the cartridge appropriate? Some people say half a year, some people say a year, there are people directly to the water yellow before thinking about changing. In fact, we drink into the stomach of every drop of water, and this “small heart” is closely related to the cartridge is not timely replacement, seriously, more dangerous than forgetting to bring an umbrella to the rain! Today we will talk to you, how to see at a glance the water filter cartridge is not fast “retirement”, so that our whole family to drink the real health and safety of assured water. At the end of the article there are practical Tips instructions ~ hurry to collect to go!

Why should we pay attention to filter replacement?
Some people may think, my home tap water is already quite clear, still need to be so careful? In fact, although the tap water has been processed, but in the delivery process will still be subject to secondary pollution, such as rust, sediment impurities in the old pipeline, as well as some microorganisms and residual chlorine can not be seen by the naked eye. These need to rely on our water purifier to filter. As the core component of the cartridge, it is a silent gatekeeper for us every day. After a long time, it is adsorbed, clogged or saturated, and the filtering effect is greatly reduced. Imagine, you drink every day is unfiltered or filter failure after the tap water, will not be very worried about it? So, don't wait until there is an odor or impurities before you take action~

How often should you really change it?
There is no single answer to this question because it has to do with family size, water quality, frequency of use and machine model. Some brands will recommend 3-6 months, and a year is fine for the more advanced ones. But the most reliable way is to judge for yourself through observation and simple testing, rather than relying solely on the manufacturer's recommended cycle

How to quickly recognize whether your cartridge should be “retired” or not?
Look - color change in appearance 
The most intuitive way is to take apart the front PP cotton or activated carbon to see. Under normal circumstances, the new PP cotton is snow white, after a period of time will slowly become gray or even brown. If you find that the color has been very dark, the surface is covered with black spots, it means that the adsorption capacity has declined, you need to hurry to change. Activated carbon if you touch the lump hard, also represents adsorption saturation, no longer efficient.
Smell - is there a strange odor?
 Open the faucet and smell the pure water, if there is a strange smell, such as earthy or disinfectant smell, it is likely that the activated carbon has failed. At this time, even if the appearance looks like no change, but also have to be vigilant.
Measurement - water speed
Previously open the pure faucet flow, now become a thin stream, which is usually caused by clogging. If you have checked in and out of the pipeline is not a problem, then in all likelihood is the cartridge is blocked by dirt.
Drink - taste changes 
What knows you best is actually your tongue! If you feel that recently boiled tea always feel astringent not smooth, always a little strange, this is also a signal source. But this method is subjective after all, so it's best to use it in conjunction with other methods. Look at the indicator light/timing reminder Nowadays, many smart water purifiers have a reminder function, such as flashing LED lights or cell phone App push messages, according to the machine prompts can be operated. However, occasionally there will be false alarms or delays, so it is still recommended to check manually on a regular basis.

Warm reminder, every time you replace the new cartridge, be sure to rinse for a few more minutes before officially drinking Oh ~ so that the residual small impurities can be flushed out, so you can drink more peace of mind, more healthy!
