3 fatal mistakes every home makes makes the water purifier a drive for toxins and bacteria

Do not replace the filter cartridge periodically

Filter elements of water purifiers have a certain lifespan. Failure to replace it periodically will greatly affect water quality and service life. Not having to replace filters regularly is the most common mistake in the process of using water filters for families.

Expired filters will affect water quality. When the filter core is due and has not been replaced, contaminants will accumulate in the cores and may reverse osmosis the outlet water. This makes the output water quality not guaranteed, sometimes more polluted than the input water. Water quality is not guaranteed to directly affect user health.

Moreover, the too old filter core also affects the life of the water purifier. Filters that are not replaced periodically will affect the operation of the entire machine. Because this is a system related to each other. Critical filters that cannot be replaced can clog the water, causing slow flow of water to make the water filter run unstable.

According to the manufacturers' recommendations, depending on the type of input water, users need to replace the filter elements from 12 months (with well water) to 18 months (with tap water). However, according to the experience of some users, the replacement time should be earlier than the manufacturer's recommendations. In particular, do not wash, clean the cartridge for reuse because this can cause the device to lose its inherent ability to filter water, even making the water more polluted.

Install the water intake hose on hot water pipes

The water purifier hydrant hose is never fitted to a hot water pipe. Because current water purifier is designed to filter the input water at room temperature. If using hot water, it will cause serious consequences when the water pipes run out because they are too hot, not to mention the water pipes are also very quickly broken.

Choose a water filter as much as possible

Not many filters have more filters, the better the water filter. Because, usually an effective water filter has up to 5 filter elements, including: 3 coarse filter elements, 1 RO or Nano filter and 1 Cation core for areas with lots of calcium or limestone.

Water after going through the filter will become pure water, beneficial minerals will also be lost. Therefore, manufacturers create machines with 6, 7, 8, 9 filter elements. These upgraded filter cores only take on the task of replenishing good minerals for the body, not eliminating toxic substances.
