RO membrane water purifier is not equal to the omnipotent gods, here to teach you to avoid the pit to choose the right home water purifier

Hello everyone, I am Susan, today to talk to you about ‘drinking water this small matter’. Now we pay more and more attention to the quality of life, pure drinking water has become the standard for many families. When it comes to water purifiers, RO membrane water purifiers are simply people boast, flowers see flowers, but it is really suitable for every family? Is not installed RO membrane machine on everything? In fact, ah, this inside the doorway can be more. Today, the small fish will stand in the kitchen at home with you nagging, how to avoid being a variety of water purification black words around the dizzy, choose a really good machine for their homes!

🌊 What is RO membrane? Why is it so hot?
We have always heard of ‘reverse osmosis’, ‘RO membrane’, in fact, is the abbreviation of Reverse Osmosis, is currently on the market the most mainstream and the most detailed kind of filtration technology. Simple to understand, is the use of semi-permeable membrane, the tap water in the naked eye can not see the small particles, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses are blocked, only let the clean H₂O through. Warm tips: see this thin layer of white film? It is the core part of our water purifier, known as the ‘nanoscale filter’ Oh ~ so, often people say, ‘With RO, even make milk powder do not have to worry about it!’ Doesn't that sound awesome?

🍶 But - RO is not everything!
It's time to hit the nail on the head: although RO membrane is awesome, it's not an all-rounder. Essentially, it is the pursuit of ‘extreme purity’, the vast majority of dissolved matter are blocked. However, some of my friends home obviously no heavy metal pollution or near the mountain stream water source, but have to buy a high-end atmosphere of five reverse osmosis, in fact, may not be used at all. For example, if your tap water quality itself is not bad (such as many cities in the south), only need to simply remove residual chlorine and sediment, ultrafiltration or activated carbon this lightweight water purifier may be more economical and practical. And RO out of the pure water mineral content is very low, for daily drinking taste is light, some people even think ‘not as good as boiled tap water’. Understanding the scope of the tip: ‘daily drinking needs’ and ‘special health needs’ in the choice of the difference ~ ~

🚰 These pitfalls must be avoided! (personally tested blood and tears history)
1. [Blindly chasing high] Many families are superstitious about the number of filtration levels, ‘five is not addictive, but also the sixth level!’ In fact, after the cartridge sometimes just increase the taste enhancer, does not mean that the water is safer.
2. [Ignore the wastewater ratio] buy back only think of good water, but easy to ignore a problem - do a cup of clean pure water, how much waste concentrated water will be produced? Early product waste ratio even reached 1:3, that is to say, three cups of dirty concentrated water to pour out for a cup of drinkable! Now new products have been optimised to 1:1 or even 0.5:1, but be sure to ask when buying.
3. [Cartridge life & maintenance costs] Do not just look at the price of the machine Oh! Later replacement of the cartridge is actually the real big head. Some brands of machine cartridges poor versatility, to find a specific model; some high-end brands a year a maintenance cost on top of a small home appliance ...... advance planning is very important.
4. [Ignore factory standards] There are too many brands on the market! Be sure to recognise the formal test report to see if it meets the national water-related approvals, such as the ‘living drinking water health and safety products licensing approvals’. Otherwise buy back to drink at ease, in fact, the risk of explosion!

💡 Which one is right for my house?
Quickly self-test it! If you belong to the following categories, then congratulations you can consider getting a reliable RO water purifier:
-If you have a baby, pregnant woman or elderly person at home, you need to have a high level of drinking safety.
-Local tap water TDS value (dissolved solids content in water) can easily be more than 200
-Complex sources such as underground wells/rivers, which need to be completely isolated from microbial and heavy metal contamination.
If you usually like to drink mineral spring taste, conscious of supplemental minerals, you can choose the style with mineralised composite cartridge, and now some intelligent models can also be adjusted out of the purity mode it ~ Function Points Tip: ‘Different members, different needs, a machine flexible switching!

🛠️ Before purchasing, these are the steps one cannot afford to miss:
-Familiarise yourself with the usual data of the local water supply (you can buy a TDS pen and measure it yourself).
Ask about after-sales service and filter replacement process.
-Carefully compare the waste ratio and maintenance cost of each brand.
-Do not pursue the more expensive the better, but pay attention to the actual use of experience.
Especially the installation of space issues, many friends thought the kitchen casually stuffed, in fact, reserved piping location, sewage interface should be planned in advance, otherwise the master came to find that can not be installed, and a toss ......
🎉 One last warm reminder: don't let adverts brainwash your wallet~
Now is the time of fierce competition in the market, all kinds of promotional gimmicks flying all over the place. But remember, no single technique can solve all the problems, and the actual situation of each home is different. Ask more, read more, compare more, and make scientific consumption a habit, so that you can really enjoy a healthy, safe and comfortable little life!
✨ Summarise:
‘Buying a water purifier, not only look at the ‘black technology’, but also combine the life scene and budget!’ ‘As smart as you are, you will never step into a pit because of ‘Netflix recommendations’ again!’
I hope this dry and grounded small science can help you. If there are any questions or want to know the latest popular models, you can leave a message to tell me, small beat fish at any time online with you nagging tea Oh ~!
