When I was a kid, I always thought that the boiled tap water at home was very safe, after all, it smelled odorless, and there was nothing special about drinking it. But have you noticed that now more and more people are beginning to install a “whole house water purification system”? Circle of friends sun filter, Zhihu brush evaluation, decoration group crazy discussion, the whole network are saying: “your home is not installed water purification system, waiting for regret! To be honest, I was full of questions at first. Water purifier is not a kitchen installed on the line? Why do you have to make a “big deal”, the whole set of “whole house”? This is not, as a new into the pit of the white, in the friends of popularization + stepped on a few pits, I finally understand the seemingly lofty system in the end what magic.
Today I want to use the simplest words, talk to you about this thing - not to nagging terminology, do not talk about the principle of metaphysics, just tell you: why now everyone is installing it, what it can do in the end, and how to choose!
🔍 What is “whole house water purification”? Isn't the kitchen the only place that needs water purification?
This is probably the first thought of 90% of newbies. I used to think so too, but then I realized that the quality of your water is determined from the moment it enters your home. It's not just what you drink, but also what you bathe in, wash your clothes, mop your floors, and even flush your toilet, all of which are related to the health of your skin and the longevity of your appliances! The so-called “whole house water purification”, in fact, is to the home of each place to use water are arranged on the exclusive umbrella.
It is generally divided into three parts
✅ Pre-filter (installed in the home valve): intercept large particles of impurities, such as sediment, rust, small stones
✅ Central water purifier or water softener: further filtration of residual chlorine, heavy metals, some can also soften the hardness of tap water, so that the bath more comfortable, less limescale
✅ End-drinking equipment (such as RO water purifier): kitchen-specific, the drinking part to the ultimate purity, you can directly drink raw cooking and tea.
📌 Pre-filtration ≠ Purification of all! Don't think that just because you have a small filter bottle, everything will be fine~
💧 Why more and more people can't live without it?
If you live in an old neighborhood, congratulations, you may be taking a bath with rust every day; if it's a newly renovated building, don't be too relieved, the tap water delivery process may be mixed with a lot of impurities. These things are not visible to the naked eye, but over time, a word to summarize: dirty! I once dismantled a water heater, the big winter to open the liner almost spit out, all the yellowish-brown deposits; and then look at the shower head, often blocked, change more useless; after the baby was born, the use of ordinary tap water to soak the milk powder always feel less assured ...... these problems, in fact, long ago heralded the upgrade of the quality of life we should do. And a set of reliable whole-house water purification system, not only let you drink at ease, but also let your skin is no longer itchy, hair loss for many years gradually alleviate, the bottom of the electric kettle will always be clean as new ...... is simply like secretly open the quality of life +10% of the plug-in!
