What's the difference between a water purifier, water softener, water purifier, and drinking water dispenser?

Water purifiers, drinking water dispensers, water softeners are all essential components of a water purification system, and we speak separately to give you a clear, intuitive understanding.

First, the water purifier
Role:
Filter rust, sand and other suspended solids, remove residual chlorine and other chemicals, water purifier filtered water can be heated and drink directly.
Structure and principle:
General water purifier is divided into three levels, PP cotton filter, activated carbon filter, precision compressed activated carbon filter, after three layers of filtration and adsorption, to remove suspended solids and residual chlorine and some microorganisms.

The water purifier should be noted that PP cotton and activated carbon are required to be replaced regularly to ensure the quality of filtration. Water resources residual chlorine concentration of high areas, such as the Yangtze River Delta area must be installed water purifier, if the water is heavy color and odor, organic content is more, it is recommended to use the activated carbon content of more water purifier.




Second, the direct drinking machine

Role:
Remove bacteria, viruses, organic matter, etc., so that the filtered water can reach can reach the standard of direct drinking.
Drinking water machine is generally divided into two types: ultra-filtration machine and water purifier.
1, ultra-filtration machine:
Ultrafiltration machine cartridge is made of polymer materials through the ultrafiltration membrane, through a certain pressure, so that the radius of small water molecules through the membrane, and large molecules will be retained by the membrane, so as to achieve water purification.
The pore size of the ultrafiltration membrane at the nanometer level can retain most of the impurities including bacteria, but there is no way to filter out metal ions, water-soluble salts, etc. because of its smaller size.
2, water purifier:
The core of the water purifier is RO reverse osmosis membrane, smaller than the pore size of the ultrafiltration membrane, can filter out the ultrafiltration membrane can not filter out metal ions, water-soluble salts, etc., including minerals can be removed, it can be said that all the impurities in the water can be filtered out to produce pure water. Some people may worry that the removal of minerals is not conducive to health, in fact, we usually get enough minerals in food.
Pure water machine due to very high filtration precision, water molecules through the resistance, so through the amount will be relatively small, which will produce some waste water, we can pass the pipeline, the waste water used to flush the toilet and so on, saving water resources.
If the location of the water quality is good, and used to boil and drink, then the general selection of ultra-filtration machine is enough, but if the location of the water quality is relatively poor, then it is best to use water purifier, to ensure that the filtering effect.




Third, water softener
Role:
Through physical or chemical methods, to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the water, reduce water hardness.
1, physical packing method:
The use of nanocrystalline high-energy polymerization spheres, the water calcium, magnesium ions, bicarbonate and other packing to produce insoluble nanoscale crystals, thereby inhibiting the production of scale.
2、Ion exchange method:
Application of ion exchange technology, through the resin on the function of ions and calcium and magnesium ions in water exchange, so as to adsorb excess calcium and magnesium ions in water.
So what are the benefits of using treated water after water softener?
First of all, it is to solve the pipeline (including floor heating, radiators, etc.) of the scale problem, to extend the life of the pipeline and water-related appliances and then use soft water to wash clothing cleanliness will be higher, there will be no clothing stiffness and other issues, in addition to soft water and skin care effects.
Water softeners are generally larger, you need to find a suitable installation location, otherwise it will affect the aesthetics.

The above is the introduction of water purifiers, drinking fountains and water softeners, we must have questions after reading, which ones should be installed in their homes? Here to give you a configuration of water purification system ideas:
1, the first thing is to install the pre-filter, the first gateway to good water:
2, the pre-filter out of the water can be divided into multiple ways, all the way can be used directly to flush the toilet or used in other low water quality requirements. All the way into the kitchen to connect the water purifier, used to wash dishes, all the way to connect the drinking water machine, provide drinking water, and finally all the way to connect the water softener, used to provide soft water to the bathroom and floor heating or radiators.
3, if the home is installed in the central water purifier, then the pre-filter out of the central water purifier can be connected first and then in accordance with the second point of processing.

Everyone on the basis of this idea, according to their own needs and circumstances to do trade-offs.
