Should every family need to install a water purifier? These 3 truths tell you, do not follow the wind to pay the “IQ tax”!

In many people chat or brush short video, often see people discuss, in the end there is no need to buy a water purifier? Some people say, now the tap water are filtered through the layers, it is completely unnecessary to buy a water purifier to put at home; there are some people feel that did not spend that money like a loss of what, after all, around friends and relatives a lot of people have begun to use. In the face of such a problem, are you also entangled - water purifier in the end is not IQ tax, we really need to buy?

In fact, there is no standard answer to this question, because everyone's living environment and water needs are really not the same. Some cities have high hardness tap water, impurities, some places can basically drink, so we can not just listen to the business propaganda, can not just follow the trend of other people to install what I installed what, so it is easy to fall into the so-called “IQ tax” pit. Here I come to talk to you about the water purifier is worth paying attention to the three truths, after reading you will be able to find the right answer for yourself.

The first key point, in fact, many friends usually drink to the mouth of the tap water is not as clean as imagined. Although our country for the tap water factory standard control more and more strict, but the aging of the pipeline, the age of the building as well as community maintenance and other factors, may make the safety of the tap water in the flow through the tens of thousands of households before being part of the secondary pollution. If you live in the building for a long time, open the faucet and occasionally see yellow cloudy particles, that is, rust and sand mixed in the results. There are also some places because of the underground pipe network construction early did not do, occasionally there will be odor or even bleach residue. At such times, no matter how many times you boil it still makes people drink less solid.

From a health point of view, if there are elderly children or people with sensitive stomachs at home, they have higher requirements for the quality of drinking water, so the installation of a reliable water purifier can really help to intercept most of the impurities, bacteria, and heavy metal residues, so that a family of the entrance to the security of an additional guarantee. And now many brands focus on multi-stage filtration technology, not only can remove the naked eye visible dirt, but also improve the taste, such as reducing odors, remove residual chlorine, etc., for people who love to make tea and cook to pay attention to a little taste, it is simply a small trick to upgrade the sense of well-being.

The second truth is that many people are worried about the trouble of changing the cartridge and money, always feel that after buying the follow-up maintenance is a bottomless pit. But the actual situation is really as exaggerated as the rumors? Here I break it down for you, most of the mainstream models of the family, every six months to a year before you need to change the core cartridge, depending on the different filter materials and brands vary in unit price, roughly calculated monthly average cost of a few tens of dollars up and down, compared to every day outside to buy bottled pure or mineral water to save a lot of worry, not to mention the benefits of environmental protection. If you encounter large sales of formal brands, generally supporting after-sales service, some also support the door to replace or send a new filter cartridge operating instructions are particularly detailed, even if the general ability to do it people can easily handle. As long as you buy before understanding the product structure and after-sales protection, do not have to worry about being “cut leek”.

Common RO reverse osmosis, activated carbon ultrafiltration and other types on the market have their own advantages and disadvantages, according to their own regional water supply smooth conditions to choose the style that suits them. For example, the northern region generally contains high calcium and magnesium ions, can give priority to have softening function models; and the southern part of the coastal cities, pay more attention to heavy metal filtration capacity.

The third point I want to remind you, do not put all your hopes on the water purification equipment, it is not a magic weapon, and can not solve all the drinking health risks. Some friends think that as long as you use a water purifier, you will not have to worry about anything, this idea is actually a misunderstanding. Regardless of any brand or technology route, as long as the physical filtration category, can not escape regular cleaning and replacement of consumables this link, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria over time to become a new source of secondary pollution. So if the daily negligence of maintenance, the more expensive and advanced machine will fail. In addition, there are some extreme areas such as underground wells directly extracted from the original river untreated primary source, in this case alone civilian equipment is not enough insurance, but also need to be combined with measures such as boiling disinfection double guarantee.

Back to the beginning of that hot topic, “water purifier in the end is not IQ tax”, in fact, the answer is not absolutely yes or no, but depends on the actual needs of your life and consumer attitudes. If you are located in the area of smooth water supply, water quality permeable taste good, and physical quality over the details of the requirements are not so demanding, then you can indeed suspend the consideration of whether to add; but if the home has long been plagued by off-color odor, think that the drink always feel uneasy or the composition of the population is biased towards infants and young children, pregnant women, frail old people, for their own investment in a convenient and peace of mind of a small electrical appliances is also a very reasonable choice. Now the market competition is fierce price transparency is very high, only need to compare three families according to the need to start to guard against the risk of being treated as a “leek” harvesting, without blind rejection and do not have to be superstitious advertising promises.

Remember to focus on the selection of certification qualifications (such as NSF, water-related approvals), after-sales products and consumables prices, as well as the installation conditions whether to match the existing cabinet space, these are the experience of the comfort of an important plus Oh!

Finally summarize one sentence, in fact, technology itself has no original sin, whether it is a cell phone air conditioning or smart toilet seat, as long as the quality of life is really improved, each flower into each eye are worth trying. But where health is concerned, more rational judgment and less anxiety from the crowd, you can really enjoy the good life brought by the solid and pleasant. Why don't you take a moment to ask yourself what kind of trouble you want to solve the most at the moment, and then decide whether to pay for it or not, and maybe your choice will meet the expectations of the whole family!
