中文简体1. How Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers work
Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers usually use a multi-stage filtration system, which is the key to its ability to effectively remove a variety of pollutants from water. Multi-stage filtration includes activated carbon filtration, ceramic filtration, and other special filter media, which can effectively remove impurities, chlorine smell, heavy metals, and harmful bacteria in the water. Among them, activated carbon filters and some special filter elements have significant effects on removing chlorine and heavy metals.
2. Principle of chlorine removal
Chlorine is a chemical commonly used in the disinfection process of tap water, but its residues are potentially harmful to human health. Not only does chlorine affect the taste and smell of water, it can also cause problems such as skin allergies. Most Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers use activated carbon filtration technology to remove chlorine from water. The surface of activated carbon has a large number of micropores, which can absorb chlorine molecules in the water, thereby effectively improving the taste and quality of the water.
Activated carbon filters remove chlorine through physical adsorption. The adsorption rate is usually high and the service life is long. This is also an important reason why activated carbon is often used in water treatment systems. Depending on the model of water purifier, the activated carbon filter element can treat hundreds to thousands of liters of water. The specific usage time and effect depend on the water quality and the frequency of filter element replacement.
3. Principle of heavy metal removal
Long-term intake of heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, etc., is extremely harmful to human health, especially the kidneys, nervous system and immune system. Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers can effectively remove heavy metals from water, especially in areas with serious water pollution.
Many Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers are equipped with composite filters, which often combine ion exchange technology with reverse osmosis technology. Ion exchange technology removes heavy metals from the water by exchanging harmful metal ions with safe mineral ions in the water. Reverse osmosis technology uses high pressure to force water through a special semi-permeable membrane, thereby blocking dissolved substances in the water, including heavy metal ions.
4. Filtration effect and filter element selection
While Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers provide good filtration, actual results are affected by filter type and water conditions. For example, activated carbon filters are at removing chlorine and improving the taste of water, but their ability to remove heavy metals is limited. Therefore, when choosing a water purifier, consumers should choose the appropriate filter type based on the characteristics of their own water quality.
5. Installation and maintenance
Installation of Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers is usually very simple and generally only requires connecting them to the water pipe. Compared with complex RO reverse osmosis systems, Plastic Countertop Water Purifiers are more convenient and suitable for home and small offices. In addition, filter element replacement is very simple and consumers can do it at home without the need for professional technical support.
Regularly replacing the filter element is key to keeping your water purifier working efficiently. If the filter element is not replaced after being used for a long time, the filtering effect will decrease and even cause secondary pollution. Therefore, it is recommended to check and replace the filter element regularly according to the water quality and frequency of use.
