In daily life, we often see scale formation on the inner wall of the kettle after being used for a long time. What is the reason? It turns out that the water we take contains many inorganic salts, such as calcium and magnesium salts. These salts are invisible to the naked eye in water at room temperature. Once they are heated and boiled, a lot of calcium and magnesium salts will precipitate out as carbonates, and they will form scale when they cling to the kettle wall.

We usually use the index of "hardness" to express the content of calcium and magnesium ions in water. A hardness of 1 degree is equivalent to 10 mg of calcium oxide per liter of water. The water below 8 degrees is called soft water, the water above 17 degrees is called hard water, and the water between 8 to 17 degrees is called moderately hard water. Rain, snow, rivers, rivers, and lakes are all soft water, spring water, deep well water, and sea water are all hard water
Raw water refers to untreated water. In a broad sense, the water before entering the water treatment process is also called the raw water of the water treatment. For example, the water sent from the water source to the clarification tank is called raw water.
  
Softened water refers to water whose hardness (mainly refers to calcium and magnesium ions in water) has been removed or reduced to a certain extent. In the process of water softening, only the hardness decreases, while the total salt content does not change.

Desalting water refers to water that has been removed or reduced to a certain extent by salts (mainly strong electrolytes dissolved in water). The electrical conductivity is generally 1.0~10.0μS/cm, the resistivity (25℃)(0.1~1.0)×106Ω˙cm, and the salt content is 1~5mg/L.

Pure water refers to the water that has been removed or reduced to a certain extent by the strong and weak electrolytes (such as SiO2, CO2, etc.) in the water. The electrical conductivity is generally 1.0~0.1μS/cm, and the electrical conductivity (1.01.0~10.0)×106Ω˙cm. The salt content is <1mg/L.

Ultrapure water refers to the water in which the conductive medium in the water is almost completely removed, and the non-dissociated gases, colloids, and organic substances (including bacteria, etc.) are also removed to a very low level. Its electrical conductivity is generally 0.1~0.055μS/cm, resistivity (25℃) ﹥10×106Ω˙cm, salt content ﹤0.1mg/L. Ideal pure water (theoretically) has a conductivity of 0.05μS/cm and a resistivity (25°C) of 18.3×106Ω˙cm.

When you're exploring, traveling, or doing other activities in the outdoors, it's important that your drinking water is safe. Sometimes when you are in the wilderness, you may only have natural water sources such as rivers, and there are many risks associated with drinking river water directly, such as the possibility of bacteria, viruses, parasites and various impurities in the water. At this point, water purification cups, large-capacity outdoor water cups and water purification jugs with filtration functions become a powerful assistant to ensure safe drinking water.

Water purifiers play an increasingly important role in our lives, especially in the food and beverage sector. A quality under-kitchen water purifier is not only about the quality of our drinking water, but also about the comfort and health protection of our daily lives. However, how can you ensure that the water purifier you buy performs up to standard and really works to purify water? Next, we will explore the detailed under the kitchen water purifier test method.

Purchased a water purifier, most people are aware of the water purifier is required to regularly replace the cartridge and maintenance, although it is very troublesome, but in order to be able to better play the role of the water purifier and responsible for their own health, these procedures are unavoidable.
But Susan heard that some people in the replacement of the water purifier cartridge, the water purifier is not even out of the water!!!! Is this a malfunction of the water purifier? Or because the new cartridge has a problem?

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?
