WATER FILTER FOR HOME

What you need to know when choosing a water filter

Taking care of our health, we are looking for different ways to improve the quality of water. One such way is to use a water filter for home. As a rule, a person consumes 1.5-3 liters of water per day with food, in the form of various drinks. Therefore, for calculations, it can be taken as a daily norm of water consumption per person of 3 liters, and per month - 90-100 liters. In most cases, this will be sufficient not only for direct consumption but also for cooking.  For individual use, there are several types of water filters. They are able to meet the needs of the family and differ from each other in the initial price and cost of service. The cheapest are filter jugs and filter nozzles for a crane. However, the life of replaceable cartridges for such filters is only about 300 liters, so they need to be replaced at least once every two months, depending on the intensity of use. Desktop filtering systems, which can be two-three-case, have a longer cartridge life, but they also cost more. However, it is such a filter for water purification that provides the lowest cost of purified water. The most sophisticated and providing the highest quality cleaning systems are based on osmosis and using ultrafilters. Similar systems are used in the production of bottled water.  Almost all types of filters, even the simplest ones, quite successfully remove chlorine compounds from water, which are very characteristic of city water. If the water contains an excess of magnesium and calcium compounds, it is recommended to use systems or replaceable elements with water softening components. If water, after standing for a couple of days, begins to “bloom” - a greenish precipitate appears, then this means that there are many microorganisms in the water. In this case, filters with bactericidal additives or with silver additives are recommended.

Water filters for home

“Filter jugs are perfect for use in the kitchen or in the country, if you need to filter out a small amount of water. And if you need to purify all the water in the house, then you should pay attention to stationary models - it can be a drinking water system or an ordinary filter of mechanical cleaning, which will help get rid of sand, rust, and iron, ”the source said.

Stationary systems, especially reverse osmosis filters, have the highest degree of purification and the longest cartridge life. Such systems are connected directly to the water supply at the entrance to the apartment. Also, some stationary filters are equipped with mineralizing cartridges to replenish the desired mineral content in purified water. For private houses with wells, the store has well filters that can clean 60 tons of water over the life of the cartridge.

Is it profitable to buy a water filter?

Most of those who visited our site are now on the verge of a significant and, by the scale of Pakistanis salaries, expensive purchase - a water filtration system. But, it should also be noted that 99% of you, as long as you are interested in this topic, care about the health of relatives and friends, or simply afraid to drink water from the city water supply. So how to get out of this situation? And which of the outputs is the most financially sound and justified?

Let's start with the most trivial options that our fellow citizens find in the conditions of Pakistanis life.

Bottled water from the store, or with delivery

Argument No. 1: The conscience of most manufacturers of such water is not as crystal clear as what they sell to you in plastic bottles. Most of these companies take ordinary tap water, drive it through a filter and put it on sale. And this is at best. In others - she simply is typed in all the same pump rooms.

Argument No. 2 : According to Pakistan's safe water authority research, 85% of bottled still water contains chemicals that impede the development of organics. Simply put, antibiotics.

Home Filtered Water

I would like to dwell on this method of obtaining clean water in more detail. In particular, on its price aspect. It is possible to purify water at home using a flow filter, as well as using a reverse osmosis system. We will consider and calculate both options, but it should be noted that these filters are fundamentally different constructively, including the depth of cleaning.

At the same time, in favor of water filtration:

Argument No. 1 : Confidence in the quality of cleaning. You yourself control the process of water purification.

Argument No. 2 : The constant presence of purified water in the house (and it should be noted that the reverse osmosis system is capable of producing far from 8 liters per day, but about 180 liters).

Argument No. 3 : Convenience. It is enough to open the tap at the sink and get purified water.

Argument No. 4 : Aesthetic component. You no longer have to contemplate the endless number of non-compact plastic bottles.
