Isn't tap water already drinkable? Why do most people still insist on using a water purifier?

Have you noticed that many families have a water purifier in the kitchen, whether it is wall-mounted or under the counter, and some have even installed several. Obviously our country's tap water according to the standard has been directly drinkable, then why these years or more and more people are willing to spend money to buy a water purifier home? My home water purifier is a whole 11 years, to say really feel a lot, today I want to talk to you about my insistence on the use of water purifiers behind those reasons, maybe you will have a new thought after reading.

Just moved into a new home, in fact, I am like most people, there is no doubt about the tap water, every day with it to cook, boil tea and fruit, as if there has never been any problem. But then over time, people around me started to discuss the term “secondary water supply”. I slowly realized that, although the water plant out of the indeed up to standard, but really to our home at that moment, it has actually gone a long way. For example, some buildings are so old that the large cisterns on the roofs are not cleaned regularly, and the impurities and rust stains that have accumulated in the old pipes may have gotten into our water. Every time I turn on the assured kettle, I always feel that the layer of delicate small particles at the bottom makes people's heart grow fuzzy. That's why the first reason I decided to install a water purifier was “to add a safeguard for my family's health”. We all want our children to drink safely and adults to feel at ease.

The second reason is that the taste is really different! Previously, I was not too sensitive, but wait until after the installation of the first compact under-the-kitchen water purifier, every time you receive out of the pure water into the cup, an entrance to the soft and smooth feeling is simply a pleasant surprise. Especially usually like to drink tea or coffee brewing people, with filtered pure water brewed out of the flavor is more pure, no strange chlorine flavor, will not affect the tea itself aroma. Some friends asked me if it is psychological, I specifically did a comparison, the two cups of ordinary tap water and filtered pure water brewed green tea for them to try, the results of almost everyone's feedback is “the right this cup is better to drink”, and the right side is precisely after the filtering process. This kind of small experience accumulates over time, there is really no going back - even if it is simply to enjoy a sip of clean and refreshing white water, it is worth it.

Did you know. Most city tap water has the right amount of disinfectant added, such as bleach or chlorine, in order to kill microorganisms. However, these substances are left behind, which can affect the taste and also tend to cause slight discomfort to people with sensitive bodies. If you pursue quality of life, try switching to filtered drinking.

Of course, there is another important reason not to be ignored, which is the risk of contamination by various impurities and heavy metals. Some of you may think that this is not a bit alarmist, in fact, not to scare people. The news often broke out in some areas of sudden heating leaks, tap water yellow color, and even lead exceeded the standard events, these problems, although not every day, but as long as the encounter is bad enough. Especially in some dense industrial or old city environment, underground pipelines are complex and intertwined, if there is a leak or outside pollution, it is difficult to find the first time. The high efficiency cartridge can effectively intercept sediment, rust, residual chlorine and some heavy metal ions, even in case of emergencies can also help us a protective net. Once my cousin's home near the construction dug up the main supply pipeline, tap water is obviously turbid, his first thought was to turn off the main valve, and then open the kitchen cartridge to see what the situation is, well in the inside intercepted a bunch of fine particles, look really glad that did not save the money.

In fact, now on the market for home water purification equipment category is very rich, from the simple and brutal large flux front, to specialize in detailed reverse osmosis RO machine, each has its own advantages. For example, pre-filtration is mainly responsible for removing larger particles of impurities, such as sand and rust, while RO reverse osmosis technology can further remove dissolved solids, heavy metals and some bacteria and viruses. If you have a limited budget, you can consider combining and matching, and choose the appropriate product according to your needs. I first used the three-in-one composite cartridge models, because the maintenance is convenient, every six months to change the cartridge will not add too much economic pressure; later upgraded to a new model with mineral adjustment function, with a more intimate. In addition, many brands have now increased the intelligent reminder function, through the cell phone APP at any time to view the life of the cartridge, no longer need to worry about the water safety blind spot.

When choosing water purification equipment, pay attention to check the product authority certification, such as NSF/ANSI and other international standards, as well as whether it has a health license approval; in addition, also need to pay attention to the after-sales service and the cost of replacement of consumables, so as not to become a burden in the late stage.

Of course, some people will say, many local governments are constantly strengthening infrastructure development, new neighborhoods generally use food-grade PE pipe, secondary water supply smooth and frequent testing, is it unnecessary to install? In fact, from my personal experience, regardless of how the living environment, in the face of unpredictable risks, more than one protection will always give people a little peace of mind, and for families with children is particularly important. After all, the baby's stomach and intestines are delicate, weak resistance to trace harmful substances, and love to take the bottle and suck. If we think of it differently, installing a reliable filtration system as a long-term investment, the comfort and peace of mind it brings far exceeds the money invested in the first place, and even if you move in the future, it can be disassembled and taken away for continued use, which is very cost-effective.

In recent years, the topic of unusual weather changes and water resource constraints has been in the news repeatedly, and we treasure every drop of the source of entry even more. From the point of view of saving, used to wash fruits and vegetables or cooking and steaming vegetables, if you can ensure that each step to minimize the impurity residue, then the whole family to eat healthy and assured, naturally, is also a kind of happiness. A friend laughed and said, “In fact, buy a better large-capacity hot pot, coupled with a set of high-efficiency RO machine, from now on no longer need to grab mineral water Christmas Eve.” Seems like a joke, but the real expression of modern urbanites in the fast-paced life of a little obsession - the pursuit of quality of life, from a cup of good white water every day to start, perhaps the most simple but one of the most sustainable way to happiness.

What's wrong with “yellowing” tap water?

If the water supply is decentralized, the yellowing of water from deep wells or shallow wells is usually due to high iron or manganese content in the water, as well as high sediment content.

If it is a centralized water supply, often yellow tap water in the morning, is caused by rust in the water pipe!

Solutions

1. For high sediment content in the water, you can add a small amount of alum to the water container, mix well, and then use it after the water is clarified.

2. You can drain the water for a few minutes until the yellow water disappears, if the water pipe rust should be replaced.

Written here, do you also begin to re-examine their own home drinking? No matter what your answer is, I hope these real experiences can bring you some inspiration. If you are struggling to get started, you may want to clarify your needs, such as the number of people in the family, the quality of water, whether there are special groups need to focus on care, and then based on the actual situation of comprehensive consideration, I believe that you will be able to find the most suitable solution for you. Do not have to blindly follow the trend, no need to be advertised by the nose, as long as it is truly in line with the needs of their families, is the most sensible choice!

Lastly, [Warm Tips] if you already have or intend to install a purification device, please remember to regularly check and replace the filter cartridge in a timely manner, so as to ensure that the effect lasts as long as the new ~!
