Tap water need to install a water purifier?

Recently in the circle of friends brush to a hot topic: home tap water in the end need to install a water purifier? Some people say “there is no need to spend the money”, while others firmly believe that “there is no water purifier, drinking water are not at ease”.

Today we will talk about this matter, do not engage in those complex terminology, just talk about the real problems closely related to our lives. After reading an article, you will know whether the water purifier in the end worth buying, after buying what changes can bring.

Is tap water really clean? The naked eye can not see the hidden dangers

Many people think that the tap water is treated ah, direct drinking is not a problem. Indeed, the water plant has done filtration and disinfection, the factory basically meets the national drinking standards, but here are two key points that are easy to ignore:

1. Pipeline aging problems Tap water from the factory to your home, to go through a long series of pipeline transportation. These pipes, may be built decades ago the neighborhood left behind iron pipes, but also because of long-term use and rust, scale accumulation. Especially in some older neighborhoods, if you observe the faucet in your home, you may find that just put out of the mouth of cool white with a little yellow or impurities, which is the result of secondary pollution of the pipeline.

2. residual chlorine and other trace substances in order to sterilize the water plant will add a certain amount of chlorine, which is called “residual chlorine”. Although it can ensure that bacteria will not grow, but drinking too much water containing residual chlorine is not particularly friendly to the body. In addition, heavy metals and pesticide residues found in nature, even at low concentrations, may accumulate over time and cause health effects. The property side mentioned a situation: he often receives complaints from owners that the water heater or washing machine at home after a period of time with serious internal scaling, or even clogging, which is in fact a manifestation of the high hardness of tap water (high calcium and magnesium ion content). Although these problems are usually invisible to the naked eye, they become troublesome if ignored for too long!

What problems can a water purifier actually solve? Why more and more people are choosing to install

I began to seriously study the water purifier, exactly what improvements it can bring to our lives?

First of all, it's not as simple as just filtering out impurities. There are a wide variety of water purifiers on the market, from basic to high-end, each with its own functional characteristics, but the core role is no more than the following:

-Remove particles and sediment Impurities mainly come from secondary pollution, such as rust particles in the aging pipeline. If your tap water is occasionally yellow, a water purifier with the right cartridge can effectively intercept these particles and make the water clearer.

-Remove Residual Chlorine and Odors Some families smell a faint bleach odor when they cook and burn vegetables, and that's residual chlorine at work. If you install an activated carbon cartridge, it can adsorb the residual chlorine and improve the taste, making it more comfortable to drink.

-Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, which filters heavy metals and bacteria at the higher end, can effectively intercept heavy metal ions and microorganisms, providing families with a safer and healthier drinking experience. However, this type is suitable for people with high quality requirements, because it filters thoroughly, so the cost is relatively high.

Tips: according to the family needs to buy different types, such as want to whole-house for pure softened water, you can consider the centralized softening equipment; if you are just concerned about the kitchen to drink, you can choose desktop or under the kitchen type of small purification equipment.

What is the effect after installation? The real experience tells us the answer

Before the installation, I was actually a little hesitant, and always felt that I was not “pretentious”. But a sentence let me release: “Now that the standard of living has improved, we can not only look at the present, but also have to think long term.” So I decided to buy a good cost-effective small desktop water purifier, a week later I found that the changes are quite obvious!

1. Cooking more flavorful, better tea I tried to brew a pot of green tea, with the tap water before directly boiling bubble out always feel astringent, and change into filtered pure as if the tea leaves are becoming tender! Cooking rice is also more prominent rice aroma, let a person's appetite ~

2. Reduce the loss of home appliances, extend the life of the hot boiler with half a year have not scaling, probably because of the hardness of the lower it. This not only saves maintenance costs, but also saves trouble.

3. Peace of mind drinking directly, without having to repeatedly boil for those who like to exercise to supplement a large number of minerals and other bottled demand is reduced!

Seems like a small thing, but it's about health investment

In the end, whether or not to install the net actually benevolent. But warm reminder: the budget range is recommended to prioritize checking the source of ~
