 The choice of a water purifier for your home depends on the quality of the water in your area and your specific needs. Different water purification technologies are suitable for different types of pollutants, so no single water purifier can be universally recognized as the “best”, but rather the most suitable one according to the actual situation. Below are some common water purification technologies and their applications:


1. Reverse osmosis (RO) water purifiers:
   - Principle: Filters out impurities from water, including most minerals, heavy metals and microorganisms, through a semi-permeable membrane.
   - Application: Suitable for removing almost all types of contaminants from water, especially in hard water areas and sources containing high concentrations of contaminants.

2. activated carbon filter:
   - Principle: Using activated carbon to adsorb organic compounds, chlorine, odor and color from water.
   - Application: suitable for removing chemical pollutants, odors and colors from water, but not effective in removing microorganisms.

3. Ultraviolet sterilizer (UV):
   - Principle: Uses ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria and viruses in water.
   - Application: Suitable for killing microorganisms, but cannot remove chemical contaminants.

4. ultrafiltration (UF) water purifier:
   - Principle: Uses a membrane with a small pore size to filter bacteria, viruses and other large molecules from water.
   - Application: suitable for removing microorganisms and large molecule pollutants in water, but cannot remove dissolved minerals or small molecule organic matter.

5. Nanofiltration (NF) water purifier:
   - Principle: similar to RO, but with a larger pore size, allowing some beneficial minerals to pass through.
   - Application: suitable for those who wish to retain some minerals but remove most pollutants.

6. Composite water purifier:
   - Principle: Combines multiple filtration technologies such as pre-filtration, activated carbon filtration and reverse osmosis.
   - Application: suitable for those families who wish to obtain a comprehensive filtration effect.

7. Electrolysis Reduced Water Machine: Electrolysis Reduced Water Machine is a special kind of water purification equipment, which not only purifies the water, but also makes the water have reducing property through specific technology, this kind of water is called reduced water. Reduced water machines typically use electrolysis to change the chemical properties of the water so that it is enriched with active hydrogen (i.e., hydrogen gas) and has a high pH value. Here are some overviews of electrolysis reduced water machines:
Principle of operation of a reduced water machine
1. Electrolysis Technology: At the heart of a water reduction machine is the process of electrolysis, which separates hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) by electrolyzing water. This is usually done in an electrolysis chamber containing electrodes, where one electrode collects the hydrogen ions and the other electrode collects the hydroxide ions.
2. Water conditioning: The hydroxide ions produced during electrolysis alkalize the water and release hydrogen, which dissolves in the water to form what is known as reduced water.
3. Filtration system: Prior to electrolysis, there is usually a pre-treatment step using a filtration system to remove impurities from the water and ensure the efficiency and safety of the electrolysis process.

Characteristics of Reduced Water
- * High pH: Reduced water usually has a higher pH than regular drinking water, typically between 8.5 and 9.5.
- Hydrogen-rich: Reduced water is rich in hydrogen, which is believed to have antioxidant properties and can help reduce free radicals in the body.
- Smaller molecular clusters: Some reduced water machines claim to produce water with smaller molecular clusters, which may mean that the water is more easily absorbed by the body.

How to choose the most suitable water purifier?

1. Know the water quality: The first thing you should do is to know the specifics of the tap water in your home, which can be obtained from a water quality test report or information from your local water company. If you are not sure about the water quality, you can consider asking a professional organization to conduct a water quality test.

2. Determine needs: Based on the results of the water test and your personal preferences, decide which contaminants need to be removed and whether certain minerals need to be retained.

3. Consider the budget: the price of different types of water purifiers varies greatly, and the choice should be made according to one's economic conditions.

4. Check the brand and model: refer to the well-known brands and models in the market. Brands usually have better after-sales service and technical support.

5. Consider the cost of maintenance: In addition to the purchase cost, but also take into account the cost of long-term maintenance such as filter replacement.

6. Check reviews: Read reviews and feedback from other users to understand the actual performance and user experience of the water purifier.

In summary, the best home water purifier depends on your specific situation and needs. If you are not sure how to choose one, you can consult a professional; they have all received good reviews in the market.
Drinking more water is important, but what is more important is drinking good water. Because water quality determines body quality, and body quality determines health! Academician Zhong Nanshan has suggested that drinking good water is a must for us to ensure good health, “If the water you drink is toxic, it's useless to make your own health better.

Regarding the backwashing (reverse flushing or cleaning) of RO membranes, there are not too many points of disagreement per se, and basically we all have a consensus. But a friend said that the RO membrane system backwash problems, so I think today it is necessary to share with you again about the basic concept of RO membrane backwash, and venture to guess the reasons for the spread of the above erroneous views may be widespread.

 The filtration water purification cup mainly realizes the purification of water through the internal filter element. There are a variety of common filter materials and technologies, such as activated carbon, ultrafiltration membrane, ion exchange resin and so on. Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity, can effectively remove odor, residual chlorine and some organic pollutants in the water; ultrafiltration membrane pore size is very small, can filter out bacteria, colloids, macromolecules in the water, etc.; Ion exchange resin is mainly used to remove heavy metal ions in the water.
