In today's era, water resources are becoming more and more scarce, and people's cherishing of water for living has reached an unprecedented height. As an important device to guard the family drinking safety, water purifier plays an indispensable role. However, many users in the actual use of the water purifier is not found as expected, “saving water”. What exactly is the reason for this phenomenon? How can we ensure safe drinking at the same time, the purification process to minimize waste?

Due to the working principle of the water purifier, it will inevitably produce a certain amount of wastewater in the operation process. In the case of RO reverse osmosis water purifiers, for example, its core component, the reverse osmosis membrane, can effectively intercept harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses and heavy metals. However, in order to ensure long-term stability of the filtration effect, the membrane needs to be continuously rinsed to remove the impurities attached to the surface, and this part of the rinse water is discharged, that is, usually referred to as “wastewater”. Therefore, the water purifier produces wastewater, in the technical logic is an inevitable phenomenon.

However, if the proportion of wastewater in the water purifier is too high, most of the equipment design defects or improper use. Some products in the research and development stage failed to fully consider how to effectively recycle and reuse this part of the wastewater, thus leading to a large number of direct emissions. At the same time, in the process of daily use, if the user fails to properly maintain the equipment, for example, long-term non-replacement of filter cartridges or neglect of cleaning and maintenance, may also exacerbate the unreasonable increase in the proportion of wastewater.

So, how can water purifiers guard your health while also saving every drop of precious water? Here are some proven methods:

Optimize the design of the water purifier, so that every drop of water is put to good use: in the product development stage, water purifier manufacturers should focus on the use of wastewater. For example, through the dual water design, so that the pure stream and reusable stream each have their own place, so that wastewater can also add color to life, such as for toilet flushing, watering flowers and other scenes.

Wise eye recognition “spring”, accurate match demand: a dazzling array of water purification equipment, consumers need to make a wise choice based on their own needs. If the location of the tap water quality is better, optional nanofiltration or ultrafiltration equipment to improve the balance of water; if in a higher hardness or more impurities in the region, the RO reverse osmosis technology is undoubtedly a more secure choice, even if the balance of wastewater is a little less, but in exchange for a more reliable drinking safety.

Careful care, so that the pure long-term companion: over time, the filter element as a loyal gatekeeper, will gradually accumulate impurities, thus affecting the filtration efficiency, and increase the balance of wastewater unnecessarily. Therefore, to ensure stable operation, the filter cartridge should be replaced and the unit cleaned regularly according to the instructions. In addition, careful maintenance of key components such as filters and interfaces can also effectively minimize unnecessary wastage and make every drop fully cherished.

Fine regulation, so that savings and safety at the same time: Some intelligent purification devices allow users to flexibly adjust the operating parameters, such as controlling the balance of wastewater and the frequency of flushing, in order to achieve the optimal balance. When the tap water is of good quality, the discharge ratio can be slightly increased to reduce membrane contamination, thus prolonging the life of the equipment; and when the impurity content is high, the discharge ratio should be lowered to strengthen the filtration effect, realizing a win-win situation for both safety and savings.

Smart use of waste water, turn waste into treasure: water purifier in the operation process will produce a certain amount of waste water, but these seemingly useless water is actually very useful! We can collect it skillfully and use it for flushing toilets, watering flowers or washing cars, so that every drop of water can play its due value. Not only reduce the waste of resources, but also make life more environmentally friendly and efficient.

Scientific emission reduction, building a water-saving future: Although water purifiers will inevitably produce some wastewater, we can optimize the design, smart choice and correct use, as well as regular maintenance, etc., to significantly reduce waste, so that savings are really put into practice. Little by little, gathered into the sea, let us work together towards a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly future!

As the “heart” of the water purifier, the RO membrane directly determines the water quality and the cost of replacing the core (the price of a single unit is usually in the range of 50-120 U.S. dollars). But 90% of users do not know: scientific maintenance can make RO membrane life 1-2 years longer!

After the membrane system has been running for a period of time, sometimes the treatment capacity decreases significantly and fails to reach the designed capacity. The reasons for this phenomenon are mainly related to the working environment of the membrane system, selection and design, installation and construction, operation and management, and the performance of membrane products.

Simply on the point of “drinking water”, whether it is filtered water from a water purifier or bottled water, there is not much difference. After all, it's all “H₂O”. The only difference is that the water inside the “impurities” (including minerals) is different. This difference is reflected in the type of impurities, the amount of a particular impurity.

Friends, how long has your water purifier filter not been changed? Is not think as long as there is clean water flow out, is equal to everything is fine? In fact, this idea really have to change! Because the water purifier is not a ‘perpetual motion machine’, the cartridge is its core components, once the overdue use, not only lose the filtering function, but also may become a breeding ground for bacteria.
