To avoid pitfalls when purchasing a water purifier, you must know these tips!

Recently, a friend asked me: "The tap water at home always tastes a bit strange. Is it time to install a water purifier? But there are too many types of water purifiers on the market, ranging from a few dozen dollars to thousands of dollars. How do I choose?" As soon as this question came out, I hurriedly gave her a popular science lecture. After all, the water purifier is an important equipment that is directly related to whether the water we drink can be "safe to drink", so we can't just buy it casually. In order to let everyone feel at ease to choose the right water purifier, today I will share my "pit avoidance guide" to help you avoid those small pits that waste money but don't achieve the effect!

Why do you need a water purifier? Let me first tell you a heartbreaking data-although the tap water in many parts of China has reached the national drinking standard, due to problems such as aging pipes and secondary pollution, it may not be "so clean" when it reaches home. Especially some cases with a strong smell of bleach and impurities visible to the naked eye, it makes people doubt life. Moreover, even if it looks fine, "invisible killers" such as heavy metals and bacteria cannot be found by our naked eyes. Therefore, you will find that more and more people around you who are particular about health have started to install water purifiers. It can filter impurities, remove odors, and retain some minerals that are beneficial to the body. To put it bluntly, it makes you feel at ease every time you drink it! However, in order to truly enjoy these benefits, the premise is that you have to choose the right device for you. This involves the important link we will talk about next-how to choose?

Pit avoidance principle 1: Don’t be superstitious that the more functions, the better
Nowadays, there are various promotions for water purifiers on the market, and many brands have also launched various gimmicks, such as "8-layer filtration", "99% sterilization rate", "can beautify the skin", etc., which look really bluffing. But are these gimmicks really reliable? For example, some merchants will brag that their products have multi-layer filtration, but in fact, multi-layer filtration does not mean better results. If the quality of the filter element layer by layer is not up to standard, it is just a decoration. Moreover, too many filter elements will increase the cost, and it will be very troublesome to replace them in the future. Therefore, when choosing, do not blindly pursue functional stacking, but pay attention to core indicators, such as whether the ability to remove particulate matter and heavy metals is strong, whether the water flow is sufficient for daily household needs, etc. If you see exaggerated and unrealistic functional descriptions in the merchant's description, please be vigilant!

Pitfall avoidance principle 2: Choose the type of technology according to household water use
Currently, there are three types of mainstream water purifier technologies: ultrafiltration membrane, nanofiltration membrane and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The specific choice depends entirely on your household water needs.
• Ultrafiltration membrane: suitable for intercepting large particles of impurities, such as sediment, rust, etc., while retaining minerals. If the quality of tap water in your city is relatively good and you only consider improving the taste, you can choose this type.
• Nanofiltration membrane: It is between ultrafiltration and RO, and it also has a certain filtering effect on hardness components such as calcium and magnesium ions, and is more suitable for use in areas with higher hardness.
• Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane: known as the "strongest filtering artifact", almost all impurities cannot escape it. However, it will also remove the minerals, so some people think that the purified water after such treatment is a little "bland". However, if you live in a heavily polluted area or have high requirements for drinking safety, RO is the first choice. Do you understand? A simple sentence summary is, "Don't follow the trend to buy the most expensive and most complete, but start according to your specific needs!"

Avoiding pit principle 3: Price ≠ performance, you must look at after-sales service
What is the most afraid of buying things? It's not useless, but no one cares if it breaks! This is especially true for water purifiers, because they are products that require long-term use and maintenance. Once the filter element is blocked or the machine fails, you may only be able to stare blankly without the support of a professional after-sales team. So, instead of worrying about the budget, it is better to focus on whether the brand's after-sales service is reliable. For example, is there any free door-to-door installation? How much is the filter element replacement cost? Is there a regular reminder for cleaning and maintenance services? These are all very critical issues! Don't be greedy for cheap and buy three-no products. In the end, not only will you waste money, but you will also add troubles. Remember, "30% depends on the equipment, 70% depends on maintenance", especially before purchasing, you must clearly understand the coverage of the official maintenance outlets!

Pit avoidance principle 4: “high flow” and “small model” which is more important?

The last big pit that is easy to step on is about the size of the model and the speed of water discharge. Some people think about the limited space in the kitchen, so they pick a small, beautiful small model; the result is that once you get home and try it, every time you fill a pot of hot tea, it takes a long time, which is how devastating ah! Here we suggest that you must take into account the number of people in the family and daily water habits. For example, the two usually just cooking tea, the flow requirements are not high, you can choose a compact; but if it is a large family, every day cooking soup frequent operation, that large flow is the real savior! Otherwise, with a slow, you again beautiful small model will only become a furnishing ~

To summarize, and then remind a few sentences in fact, no matter what the price or model, as long as it meets their actual needs, but also to meet the cost-effective, it is worth getting a good machine. Here, I also want to warmly remind one point - no matter how good the equipment, are inseparable from the correct use and regular maintenance. If you are too lazy to change the filter, do not pay attention to cleaning, the more expensive and powerful machine can not top for a long time Oh!
