Rating of filters for water in 2019: a filter under the sink is better

Effective types of water purification filters Sink "Aquaphor" and other

Basically water treatment takes place by means of special treatment facilities. Before the resource enters the conduit housing used topical treatment methods: deferrization, disinfecting, cleaning coal, absorption, softening, chlorination, membrane methods, and application ion exchange. But used and home filters, which are many brands ( "Aquaphor", "Geyser" and others.). Consider the most popular methods of cleaning.

Membrane filters for water under the sink "geyser": overview and cleaning efficiency

The main filter in this method acts membrane. It is a fine sieve fraction (holes size - less than 1 nm), due to which large particles are unable to present contamination of water pass through the filter.

Through this device able to penetrate and water molecule ions size smaller than the mesh openings. Accordingly, there is a qualitative water purification from harmful bacteria. Some water filter under the sink "Aquaphor" equipped with such a mechanism.

How is coal cleaning

Coal cleaning method characterized plumbing resource acceptable cost and efficiency. Using this method is carried filtering and water absorption (removal of harmful components). How does this happen?

During the passage of liquid through the carbon filter takes place its release from the heavy metals and harmful particles which are painful effect on the human body. Application of this method allows to use water purification not only industrial, but also at home. However, for a normal filtering pressure plumbing resource should be sufficient, differently from this process will not effect.

Ion exchange as the best method of fluid filtration

Purification of water by means of ion exchangers (special filters) recognized as the most widespread, since it allows to remove from the water the most dangerous particles: arsenic, phosphorus, chromium, heavy metals. The purification process is a replacement of hazardous substances on the ion-neutral ions. Thus, the formula of water is not changed, with the removal of the microbes apparently. For substitution of used ions present in the solid portion of the water purifier.

This method is necessary in cases where the water increased requirements, such as:

• public use;
• for boilers in large enterprises;
• use in chemical and food industry;
• in the case where water is supplied from a source with a high concentration of harmful impurities;
• last filtration step before entering the pipeline.

Softening of water through the filter

To remove the hardness of the water, which can cause health problems, it is possible to use a water filter under the sink "geyser" or cleaners pitchers of the same or any other brand. However, this method of treatment is technically inconvenient, as it requires frequent replacement of filter cartridges. During this treatment a chemical (use of reagents) or physical (natural forces) reaction. For the first embodiment of filtration are reagents such as soda ash, phosphates, sodium hydroxide. With these components occurs calcium and magnesium transformation into insoluble compounds which settle on the walls of the cleaner. However, this option is only valid for mitigating industrial purposes.

As a natural method using magnetic reaction. It is used for fixed piping private houses and apartment buildings. By means of such installations insoluble calcium and magnesium salts derived through a special system without entering the main conduit. This filter option allows you to prevent the formation of scale on appliances.

Technical characteristics of household water filters

Any of the filters under the sink has individual characteristics that contribute to effective cleaning plumbing resource. Cleaning apparatus have a number of characteristics for which buyers pay attention. As an example, consider a membrane filter for water purification, which in turn has the following features:

• compact size device (which can accommodate a filter which is not to press the free space in a cabinet under the sink);
• reliable resource for purification (eventually ensures the flow of water suitable for consumption);
• presence of an ultrathin membrane (it is capable of holding large dangerous particles or metals in tap water);
• easy installation to the main road;
• reliability, and long life.

The main types of household water filters and their individual characteristics

Filters for drinking at home by installing different structural characteristics, as well as on the principle of work. Consider the popular options that are installed in a house or apartment.

1. flow cleaner It represents a three-stage water filter (sometimes four-step), wherein sequentially has multiple cleaning modules performing primary, main and final filtration liquid. The raw material for purification of different material can act. This type of filter allows to extract from the water resource elements of heavy metals and salts, and also eliminates the unpleasant odor and produces water disinfection.
   

   Filter reverse osmosis system.

2. Water filter with reverse osmosis It decided to install in an environment where water is consumed in large volume. It is a device with cartridges and a cleaning membrane. Also attached to it a tank, which collects clean water. Impurities salts, heavy liquid components, are sent to the sewer after the filtering process.
   

   Enhanced cleaner water.

3. Cleaner with enhanced technical capabilities. Besides the main cleaning plumbing resource is its further decontamination using established sets of functions. However, the use of such models is appropriate in cases of critical level indicator unfavorable impurities in the water.
