The filter element in the water purification equipment is one of the core components of the water treatment system, responsible for removing impurities, pollutants, and harmful substances in the water. The following are some common filter element types and their characteristics:
1. Activated carbon filter element
Function: Remove chlorine, odor, sediment, and organic matter from water through adsorption.
Advantages: Improve the taste of water, improve odor, and have low maintenance costs.
Application: Widely used in household water purifiers and water dispensers.
2. PP cotton filter element (polypropylene filter element)
Function: Physical filtration to remove suspended matter, silt, and particles in water.
Advantages: High filtration accuracy, low cost, and easy replacement.
Application: Often used as primary filtration, usually placed at the front end of the water purifier.
3. Reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane)
Function: Remove more than 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses through a semi-permeable membrane.
Advantages: Provides high-purity drinking water and is the most effective filtration method in the water purification system.
Application: Widely used in reverse osmosis water purifiers.
4. Ceramic filter element
Function: Physical filtration to remove bacteria and suspended solids in water.
Advantages: Durable, washable, long service life.
Application: Suitable for home and outdoor water purification equipment.
5. Ion exchange resin
Function: Remove hardness ions (such as calcium, and magnesium) and certain heavy metals in water through ion exchange.
Advantages: Effectively softens water quality and improves the taste of water.
Application: Commonly used in boiler feed water and industrial water treatment.
6. UV lamp tube
Function: Use ultraviolet rays to kill bacteria and viruses in water.
Advantages: Fast and effective, no chemical residue.
Application: Often used in combination with other filter elements to ensure water quality safety.
7. Hybrid filter element
Function: Combine multiple filtration technologies such as activated carbon and PP cotton.
Advantages: Provide multiple protections and remove different types of pollutants.
Application: Commonly used in composite water purifiers.
Selection suggestions
Water quality analysis: Choose the appropriate filter element type according to the specific water quality of the water source.
Frequency of use: Consider the water consumption of family members and choose an appropriate filter element replacement cycle.
Compatibility: Make sure the selected filter is compatible with the model of the water purifier.
Maintenance cost: Evaluate the replacement and maintenance cost of the filter and choose a product with high-cost performance.
The filter is a key component in the water purification equipment. Reasonable selection and regular replacement of the filter can effectively ensure water quality safety and improve the drinking experience.
