How to Choose Water Filter Cartridges?

A household water filter is the most profitable and convenient way to obtain water for drinking and cooking. Any person who once bought a filter for himself and used it for some time will say this. Below are the main benefits of using a home water purifier.

Benefits of using a water filter:

• There is no need to deliver water for the filter. You just use it from the tap and clean it up by passing it through the filter. In all other cases, you will have to spend time, effort or money.
• The cost of water obtained using a household filter is many times cheaper than purchased water. This is not difficult to calculate by dividing the cost of a replacement filter cartridge by its resource.
• You personally control the quality of the treated water. Timeliness of replacement of replaceable elements depends only on you. In other cases, you will have to rely on the good faith of the manufacturer.

If you want to constantly use only clean water, then replacing cartridges that have exhausted their resource is a top priority. A replaceable module, which has exhausted its resource, has accumulated a critical amount of contamination during its operation. Subsequently, such a cartridge itself becomes a source of contamination.

Replaceable filter cartridges under the sink.

The filter for the sink, however, for the sink, are several flasks connected in series. Inside each of the flasks there is a replaceable element that cleans the water from a specific type of contamination. After passing through all the filters, the water flows through the tube into a separate tap installed on the sink. From it we collect clean water.

The easiest and surest way to replace cartridges that have exhausted their resource is to follow the manufacturer's instructions. To do this, you need to buy original replaceable modules and change them within the time frame specified in the instructions for use. But it is not always possible to buy specific cartridges. In addition, the price of original replacement modules may rise, especially if they are imported.

In the case of using a filter under a sink with standard 10 "replaceable modules, i.e. their height is approximately 25 cm and they are 6 cm in diameter, replaceable cartridges from other manufacturers can be installed inside the flasks.

In a conventional arrangement in a triple wash system, the first cartridge is a polypropylene thread or fiber. This module produces mechanical water purification from water-insoluble impurities (sand, rust, silt).

The second module is granular coal. It purifies water from chlorine, chlorine-containing compounds, heavy metals, pesticides.

The third module is compressed coal. This cartridge carries out final water purification. It further purifies water, removes unpleasant odors from it and gives it a taste.

A module of any manufacturer of this standard can be installed in a standard filter housing for 10 "cartridges. Therefore, if you wish, you can find for yourself the optimal set that will satisfy you in terms of the quality of cleaning and the price of replaceable modules.

By the way, if you have a specific type of pollution in your water that you want to get rid of, then you can install the necessary module in the middle flask.

• Use an ion exchange resin cartridge to combat excess hardness. And you will forget about the scale in the kettle.
• Iron removal module will protect from iron in water.
• If there are bacteria in the water, the KDF granule module will help.

A signal to replace cartridges can be a low water pressure or a taste that no longer satisfies you. Also, the first flask in the filter is usually transparent. Therefore, you can visually observe pollution in it. In these cases, you should not wait for the timeframe recommended by the manufacturer. It's time to change the modules.
