With the gradual improvement of material life, people are more and more concerned about the health of drinking water. Therefore, more and more families have begun to buy water purifiers to purify drinking water. However, in the process of use, many consumers find that the water purifier has not been used for a long time, but the equipment has been damaged or has no original water purification function. In fact, a large part of the reason should be that the user himself does not know the factors that affect the service life of the water purifier, and does not increase maintenance during the use process. So what are the factors that affect the service life of the water purifier?
What are the factors related to the service life of the water purifier
1 Water purifier structure
Some of the water purifiers on the market can automatically discharge sewage, which facilitates the flushing of the water purifier and can promptly flush away the pollutants trapped in the water purifier. This not only prevents secondary pollution, but also lengthens the purification. The service life of the water tank.
2 Water quality
The water quality of different water sources and different regions is different, and the impact on the service life of the water purifier filter element is also different. In some places, the water quality is relatively good, so the replacement cycle of the filter element will be relatively prolonged; on the contrary, if the water quality in the place where you live is poor, then you may need to replace the water purifier filter element more frequently to ensure the health of your own drinking water.
3 Using intensity
No matter what kind of water purifier is used, the frequency of use is the most important factor that determines the frequency of filter replacement. It should be known that the filtering capacity of any filter element is limited. When a filter element reaches a certain saturation point, it must be replaced. This is more obvious for water purifiers without sewage outlets. Otherwise, the water flowing out of the water purifier will be even more polluted. Therefore, the water purifier with high intensity (frequency) requires regular replacement of the filter element.
4 product quality
Water purifiers with high-quality filter elements usually have a much longer replacement cycle and service life than low-quality products. In recent years, the high profits of water purifiers have attracted many manufacturers to put into production one after another, which has also led to uneven quality of water purifiers. Some manufacturers put more energy on the hype concept when selling, and the actual purification effect is very limited. In order to reduce the production cost of the main unit and filter element of the water purifier, some manufacturers use relatively low-cost materials, so they cannot guarantee the quality of their water purification. Therefore, when you buy a water purifier, you must know more about the feedback on the actual use of the water purifier and choose a manufacturer with a high reputation.
5 Use materials
The materials used in the filter membranes on the market are mainly PVC, PAN, PVDF. These three materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. In comparison, if it is a food-grade PVC ultrafiltration membrane, then only come from the material. Look, its service life can reach more than 8 years.
6 Types of filter elements
At present, there are many types of water purifier filter elements, such as PP cotton, activated carbon, RO membrane, UF membrane, etc. When we buy a water purifier, we should choose according to our own needs and local water quality. Different types of water purifiers The service life of the filter element is different. Generally speaking, the PP cotton filter element is about 3 months; the activated carbon filter element is about 6 months; the ultrafiltration membrane filter element is about 2 years; the RO reverse osmosis membrane filter element is 3 years; the ceramic filter element is about one year.
