Recently, there are always friends who come to ask me: "Is a water purifier worth it or not? Is it necessary to install one?" Every time I hear this kind of question, I can't help but want to pull out a picture of a water purifier installation and say to them, “You're now obsessed with whether it's worth it or not, but when you use it someday, your heartfelt words will become, ‘I wish I had known to buy it earlier’.”
This statement is not an exaggeration, really many people who have bought a water purifier will exclaim: “I regret not installing it earlier!” However, do not rush to order, but also to understand some key knowledge points, these only insiders understand. Today we will talk to you, why the water purifier so “fragrant”, as well as the purchase of what to pay attention to the pit.
1. Tap water looks very clean, in fact, behind the story is quite a lot of
When it comes to drinking water, you may think that the tap water boil on the line, why get so complicated. In fact, our daily use of tap water through a series of treatment, but which hides the “impurities” or quite a lot. For example, some areas of the tap water may contain residual chlorine (that is, the kind of chemicals used to disinfect), and even smell a faint bleach flavor; there is rust, silt and sand from the old pipeline problems - these things are not visible to the naked eye, but long-term drinking such water, the body is not a good thing Oh. There is a more insidious point: even after boiling, can only kill bacteria and viruses, but can not remove heavy metals and pesticide residues. So, if you want the quality of drinking water in your home to be upgraded, a water purifier is really a good choice.
2. Different types of water purifiers, different needs to adapt
There is a wide range of water purifiers on the market, what ultrafiltration membrane, reverse osmosis, activated carbon ...... just the name makes people dizzy. However, to be frank, different types of water purifiers to solve the problem is not the same. Here to give you a run through:
- ultrafiltration membrane type: filtering particles impurities are more powerful, such as sediment, rust and so on. This is suitable for people who do not have high requirements for drinking and only need to improve the quality of basic water.
Reverse osmosis type (RO membrane): this awesome, can directly filter out heavy metal ions, scale and other small impurities, so you can drink close to pure pollution-free “space-level” drinking water. But the shortcomings are also obvious, is the waste of some of the concentrated water after filtration.
-Activated carbon: mainly used to adsorb odors and some chemicals, such as residual chlorine. Usually it does not exist alone, but as part of the other cartridges.
So, when picking one, you have to choose according to your needs. If it's just for simple use in the kitchen for cooking, you can consider ultrafiltration; if you pursue direct drinking, then reverse osmosis is definitely the way to go!
3. It is better to buy cheap than to choose a reliable brand! Blind online shopping beware of stepping on the mine
Many people in the selection of home appliances, will always be confused by the price. “Gee, this brand is only a few hundred dollars, it looks pretty good, why don't you try it?” But the problem is that you simply do not know what materials are used in this cheap goods, whether the design is reasonable, not to mention after-sales service! Remember one thing: the reliable brand is not only technically sound, but also more assured after-sales service. Moreover, many big brands are now launching smart models of water purifiers, real-time monitoring of the status of the cartridge, the expiration of the automatic reminder to change the core, so worry and safety. So, instead of spending a few hundred dollars to gamble on luck, it is better to choose quality products in one step. This thing is every day related to your family's health, with a little longer is also acceptable small investment ~!
4. On the issue of changing the filter element, these details should be known in advance
Some people say: “I thought that after buying and installing it, everything would be fine!” In fact, no, any purification equipment need regular maintenance, and the most important one is - change the cartridge! Each cartridge has a lifespan, for example, activated carbon usually needs to be replaced once every six months or so, while RO membrane can last for a year or even two. But there are differences, depending on the specific frequency of use and the quality of local tap water. If you're in an area with high hardness (lots of limescale), it may wear out a bit faster. In addition, now the smart models of the machine will be with automatic prompts, when a cartridge life to the end, it will directly alarm to remind you, without having to estimate the time. These “smart” design is really very thoughtful ~
Tips:
- usually remember to regularly check the operation of the machine;
- after changing the new cartridge is recommended to rinse and then normal use;
- don't delay changing the core in order to save money, the maintenance also The maintenance is still necessary!
5. After installing it, the happiness of life soared! Experience changes from the first mouth
Finally, I have to share with you the real experience of friends around me. Their biggest feeling after installing a water purifier is that their mouths have become picky! The original hand pour a cup of ordinary tap water to drink, but now only recognize the filtered “advanced taste”. Not only that, with pure filtered hot water to make tea, the tea is even more intense than before, more refreshing.
And the small details of life have also changed, such as cooking rice will no longer appear on the surface of floating white particles, with filtered clean and softened by a higher grade of pure liquid soup tastes more delicious. Even wash your face feel less skin a trace of dryness ...... this sense of well-being simply improve too much!
See here, you are not also stupid? Don't rush to order, give yourself a little more time to research the right model for you. If you have the conditions, try to choose professional brands and formal channels, so that every drop of the home “source of entry” are reassuring. After all, this is an investment in health, but also for the quality of life to increase ah!
Well, next time we will talk about the specific models recommended, I hope that today's article can help you in the tangled ~ hurry to forward to the partners who are still hesitating, they will thank you!
