Important notes

The installation of any filters is simple, if you follow the manufacturer's recommendations. But each apartment has its own characteristics, which should be taken into account when installing.

Important! A quality device must be packed, and complete with it should go to the instruction manual and installation instructions. If the package and instruction are not available - it is better to choose another option.

The installation of simple instruments is intuitive. Here you can only give advice to purchase devices that have a transparent case. Also, simple models have a significant disadvantage - they are designed only for cold water.

On how to choose the right device can be read separately, we will understand how the water treatment unit should be made.

Different types of cleaning devices have different nuances when installing them. In general, devices that require special installation are:

• filters for rough cleaning;
• fine cleaning;
• mechanical cleaning;
• reverse osmosis system;
• by stationary devices.

Let's consider in more detail how the installation of water purification of each of the options takes place.

Installing the coarse filter

This device cleans water from large particles of impurities and is mounted directly into the water pipe. Popularity among this species has acquired perpendicular and oblique filters.

Basic functions of coarse cleaner:

• Protection of household appliances using running water.
• Improvement of water quality - both flowing and from wells.

Basis for mounting

The design of these can be different, but the basic principle of operation is one, therefore the following points should be taken into account when installing:

1. The lid, which is assigned to the sump function, must be at the bottom.
2. If you can not install a perpendicular version, you can use an oblique filter.

Important! A water treatment plant of this type is installed in front of the meter, after the stopcock. Its grid detains large particles of dirt, when the water under the pressure goes up.

The installation is as simple as possible: the device is gently screwed onto the pipe using tools. Often on this type of instruments draw a special arrow, which should be oriented during installation. The direction in which it points indicates the direction of the water.

Important! If you disregard the recommendations, and make the installation of the lid up - his grid will catch dirt, but over time the device may break, as accumulated debris will not allow you to open the tap.

The best option is to combine this type of device with another, providing more thorough cleaning.

Installing a fine filter

If rough cleaning can easily cope with large contaminants, small impurities and bacteria from the water will help to clean the device for fine cleaning. Depending on the manufacturer, these devices can not only clean the liquid of smaller contaminations, but also disinfect and soften it.

Important! When installing this type, it is important to remember that in any case it is impossible to disassemble this device, because if you damage the membrane - the water passing through it will remain dirty.

The fine filter is best used together with the coarse, allowing smaller ones to clean only the water that a large mesh could not handle. It is desirable to install it as close as possible to the water outlet.

The device can easily cope with the cleaning of hot water, but before use, it is important to check the quality of the materials used in the device. When choosing, you should focus not only on the quality of cleaning, but also on the convenience and ease of installation.

Mounting of the mechanical model

Despite its simplicity, such a device very qualitatively cleans water from various particles - silt, sand and other impurities. When buying, you should pay attention to its functionality, because there are several types of mechanical filters suitable for different operating conditions.

If the device was purchased for use in the kitchen, the main points of installation will be the following.

Place

The most correct option is to hide the device so that it is not noticeable. But the following points should also be taken into account:

1. The area for installing the water purification filter in the apartment should be slightly larger than necessary.
2. Installation must be carried out in such a way that the device is conveniently located, accessible for maintenance. For convenient replacement of components, the recommended distance to the floor or surface should be 10-15 centimeters.
3. The device should be located so that it can be monitored continuously, because with leakage it is necessary to immediately diagnose the problem and take action.
4. When installing water purification of this type, do not use too long hoses. The shorter they are, the faster and better the filter will do its job.

Important! In the kitchen, large appliances are most commonly installed under the sink. But this is not the only correct option, you can make the installation of the device in any convenient place, taking into account the recommendations, if it does not interfere with the owners.

Tee

Because water is used for cooking and eating as well as for technical purposes, it makes no sense to use a cleaner for all water. Therefore, the owners will need to think over the layout of the water for different cranes - for consumption in food and for farming. The place where the tee will be mounted for water dilution - each one is determined independently, to fit its needs.

Crane

The crane must be installed in front of the device. This is done to ensure that the maintenance of the appliance does not leave the entire house without water. Installing the faucet in front of the device, you create an opportunity to cut off water only in your apartment.

Hoses

The hoses must be installed in accordance with the instructions for the appliance. It is important to exclude the possibility of leaks, so joints must be sealed carefully.

Checking the

After all the installation steps, make sure that there are no leaks. Therefore, gently turn on the water under a slight pressure, gradually strengthening it.

Installation of water filters in the apartment is a simple task if you know exactly the type of the selected device and correctly prepare for installation.

Reverse osmosis system - installation of

The first thing to consider when installing this system is that it is installed only in cold water.

Important! The filter can be installed both vertically and horizontally. The main thing is to have easy access to it. The storage tank can also be supplied both vertically and horizontally.

How to install?

1. First, you need to install the sidebar that comes with the system. Do not forget to close the water, and after installation seal all connections.
2. Next on the drain pipe put a yoke. To do this, make a hole in the pipe, make a protective gasket and install a clamp.
3. After installing the drive. The thread is sealed and manually made by the crane.
4. After installation, the water supply is opened and the tank is left to rinse for 15 minutes.
5. After time elapses, the tank valves must be opened and the tap with incoming clean water is blocked.
6. Then the tank is filled with water. This can take anywhere from one hour to three hours. After filling, the water is completely drained, and the tank is refilled. At this stage, you can already use water.

Important! Do not forget to change the cartridge once every six months, otherwise - the filter may become unsuitable for use.

Fixed filters

Installation of these devices is very simple, due to their popularity. Installation can be done on any surface, and for the supply of clean water, a mixer is not needed, since the filter has its own.

Water purification plant:

1. Installation is possible on a pipe with cold water.
2. It is important to choose the right place for a faucet with clean water. Usually the second tap is installed in the same sink, where the tap is also a conventional mixer. In this case, leave a little space from the edge.
3. After mounting the faucet, a place for the filter is prepared. The most convenient is to arrange the filter so that it is near the tap, and the hose has no kinks.
4. Then the filter is fixed: mark the surface for the fasteners, make holes, block the water supply, disconnect the pipe and screw the filter. Then fix the pipes that go to the mixer.
5. The final point is to fix the device to the wall, check all bolts and connect the water.

Other cleaning options

If the water quality is initially good, you can use a filter jug ​​or a nozzle on the faucet, but with strong soiling such devices can not cope.

Tips:

1. When buying a jug, just install the cartridge in it, fill it, drain the water several times and use it.
2. The filter nozzle is mounted on a faucet. Depending on its structure, it can be installed on the thread or without it.

Important! It is important to note that the attachments to the cranes can go separately from the kit. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention to this.

When buying any filter, it is better to study in advance how the device is arranged. Then with its installation, even independent, there will be no problems.
