Have you ever thought that the home installed water purifier, is to drink more healthy, safer water, but if the installation location is not right, may not only play a role in purification, but also let you and your family every day in the invisible “drink poisoned water”? This is not alarmist, but many families will ignore a fatal detail.
Most people in the purchase of water purifier, will focus on the brand, filter specifications, filtering effect of these issues, but few people noticed - water purifier should be installed in where the most scientific and reasonable. In fact, no matter how high-end your device is, if it is not installed correctly, its function may be greatly reduced, and even become a potential health hazard. Today we're going to talk about this key issue, to help you completely figure out how to properly use a water purifier, so that it really protects your drinking water.

First of all, to say a common scene: many people will choose to install the water purifier in the kitchen cabinet, so it looks space-saving and convenient to take over the pipeline. But you know what? If the inside of the cabinet is humid and poorly ventilated, coupled with the long-term accumulation of soot, water and food residues, it is easy to breed mold, germs and other harmful microorganisms. Once these pollutants spread through the air or come into direct contact with the piping, they may enter the drinking water system, and even after filtration, contamination cannot be completely avoided. In this case, every sip of “purified” water you drink may actually carry bacteria or other contaminants that are invisible to the naked eye.
Worse, some users in order to save trouble, will be directly discarded cartridge into the cabinet or nearby, this practice inadvertently increases the risk of secondary pollution. Do not forget, the cartridge itself is a variety of impurities, harmful substances concentrated in the place, once exposed, not only pollute the surrounding environment, but also may become a new source of pollution. Therefore, if your home water purifier is installed in such a location, please immediately check whether the surrounding area is dry and clean, there is no mold or odor. If you find problems, please improve the environmental conditions as soon as possible, otherwise even the best equipment can only be in vain.

So, where is the right place to install it? The answer is actually very simple: stay away from humid areas and make sure it is well ventilated. For example, you can choose a location where the sun doesn't shine but is relatively dry, such as near the top of the kitchen counter or wall-mounted design. Many new products also support wall-mounted installation, which not only saves space, but also effectively avoids moisture erosion on the ground, which helps to extend the life of the machine and maintain cartridge performance. Of course, in the specific arrangement, but also according to the actual situation of flexible adjustment, for example, in some northern regions of the winter heating stronger environment, to pay special attention to avoid overheating of the equipment caused by the aging of the plastic parts of the problem.
There is also a small detail that is often overlooked, that is, whether the pipe connection is airtight and tight. Some users do the installation themselves, due to lack of experience or tools are not professional enough, will lead to loose interfaces or tiny cracks. This situation may not be noticed in the short term, but over time it is easy to trigger water leakage or even dirt backflow phenomenon. Once the dirt enters the system, even the strong filtering ability is of no help. Therefore, after the installation is completed, be sure to carefully check whether the various interfaces are solid, and recommend regular maintenance by professionals, so as not to lose a lot of money for a small cause.

Having said that, we also need to remind you of a misunderstanding, that is, do not blindly pursue high-end configuration and ignore routine maintenance. Many people spend a lot of money to buy back the imported models, used for a year and a half but never replaced the filter cartridge, thinking that as long as there is a machine there, everything is fine. However, the cartridge as the core consumables, is the need for regular replacement to ensure the effect. If not replaced for a long time, not only can not achieve the desired filtration effect, but also because of clogging leads to a reduction in the amount of water, water flow slows down, the more serious is the internal deposition of harmful substances will be released instead, a threat to health. So remember one thing, no matter how expensive and good your equipment, adhere to the instructions specified in a timely manner to replace the consumables, is to make it play the most effective important prerequisite.
Finally, let's share a few more tips for daily use to give you more peace of mind about your purification experience. For example, every time after a long time out of use (such as traveling), remember to release the first few minutes out of the storage of the old water before re-activation; usually try to avoid directly rinsing raw meat, seafood and other things that are prone to carry a large number of bacteria; in addition, for some of the stainless steel faucets that have been obviously discolored, strange smells and even traces of rust spots, we should consider a timely update to replace them, because they also affect the quality of the final drinking water.
To summarize, it seems simple a small water purifier, in fact, hidden behind a lot of learning. If we can from the purchase to installation to use the whole process with a little attention, you can avoid a lot of regrettable problems. Take action now! Double-check your own equipment has not stepped on the mine, the hidden crisis killed in the cradle, for the health of the family to guard the first line of defense!
