How useful is the filter core of a water purifier? Friends who have bought water purifiers all know that when purchasing, merchants will remind us to replace the filter core regularly and in a timely manner. After being used for a certain period of time, the filter element will continuously consume its life due to filtering too many impurities until the end of its life. So, what exactly are the functions of the filter core in a water purifier? What can it filter?
What are the functions of the filter core in a water purifier? Which impurities can be filtered?
Now let's introduce the function of the reverse osmosis water purifier filter core, which has a relatively high usage rate. Generally speaking, the filter cores of reverse osmosis water purifiers have five levels. Let's take a look at them one by one.
First-level filtration: 5μmPPF filter element, commonly known as coarse filtration or PP cotton; Specification: 10 inches (25.4 cm)
Filtration accuracy: 5 microns
Function: It can effectively filter out relatively coarse solid impurities such as rust and sand in water.
Second-level filtration: Granular activated carbon filter core; Specification: 10 inches (25.4 cm)
Function: Granular highly adsorptive activated carbon can effectively adsorb substances such as chlorine, odor and discoloration in water.
Third-stage filtration: block-shaped activated carbon filter cartridge or 1μmPPF filter cartridge; Specification: 10 inches (25.4 cm)
Function: Remove organic substances such as pesticides and residual chlorine, heavy metals such as iron and manganese, bacteria, odors, discoloration and strong carcinogens such as trichloromethane.
Fourth-level filtration: RO reverse osmosis membrane
Function: Reverse osmosis membranes with a pore size of 0.0001 microns can effectively remove harmful substances such as bacteria, toxins, heavy metal ions, and salts from water.
Fifth-level filtration: Post-installed antibacterial activated carbon filter core, commonly known as small T33; Specification: 10 inches (25.4 cm)/1/4 inch water outlet
Function: Inhibit bacterial regeneration, improve pure water outlet
Also, do you know how many viruses and garbage the filter core of a water purifier can intercept in a year?
About 2,600 milligrams of rust per year, which amounts to 26,000 milligrams in 10 years.
About 9,600 milligrams of organic matter (two taels of pesticide) per year, and 96,000 milligrams (two jin of pesticide) over ten years.
About 500 milligrams of sediment impurities a year amounts to 5,000 milligrams over 10 years.
About 4 milligrams of lead a year amounts to 40 milligrams in 10 years.
The existence of the filter core of a water purifier is as important as the human heart. While water purifiers continuously improve our quality of life, they also provide effective guarantees for our drinking water environment. For the health of you and your family, and to enjoy a brighter tomorrow, install a water purifier right away!
