In recent years, in the field of building water, the concept of the whole house living water system began to heat up, it seems to be a new concept, but in the industry is not new, the exploration of the systematization and cleanliness of the whole house water, Western countries started earlier, in the field of construction in Europe and the United States is just a common and commonly used configuration, but due to the successive reasons of market development, the domestic field started late, and some foreign companies have been directly driven by China, in recent years to be applied on a large scale.
With the addition of a pre-filter, is the water really clean? Whole house clean living water≠whole house living water
In the author's opinion, it is really a bit of a cart before the horse, because the living water design scheme that can be seen on the market, the realization of water purification depends more on superimposed water purification equipment, and ignores the cleanliness guarantee brought by the fluidity of water. In other words, if the water is not "alive" enough, it will not be able to eliminate the hidden dangers of water purification at the source.
Here we introduce a concept of "water age", you can compare the time of water in the pipeline to age, the higher the age of the water, the lower the safety, just imagine: after the whole house is connected to water, if in one of the nodes that do not use water often (such as rooftops, garages, or gardens, etc.), the water in the pipeline is in a static state for a long time, which will inevitably increase the risk of pollution, because the home is not a laboratory, even the drinking water cannot be completely sterile, and cannot be 100% contactless sealed, Assuming that the water is injected into the pipeline, but if the water is more than seven days old, that is, it has been stored in the pipeline for more than seven days, you dare to drink the water directly, you have to put a question mark.
This kind of risk is not a problem that can be solved by installing a water purification system, because the filtration level is limited after all, and ordinary household water purification cannot achieve the laboratory level.
The key to making water "live" is to ensure the freshness of the water in the pipe at all times and avoid the generation of old water
How to make water come alive? In essence, it is necessary to achieve precise fluid control, the key lies in the scientific design of the scheme, to ensure that each water point can be linked in real time, some points that are not commonly used, to avoid allowing water to stay in it for too long, no matter which water valve is opened, the flow is fresh water.
Therefore, the scientific design of the whole house living water system scheme is a very important first step. Forever fresh water is better than adding more filters, reducing impurities and reducing the possibility of microbial growth.
In addition to the design scheme, the selection of pipes is also important
In the domestic construction water, in the early days, due to cost considerations, more "plastic instead of steel", resulting in a large area of plastic pipe products to be used, and the water is long-term, and some problems will be gradually exposed with the use of the building. Therefore, in recent years, the call for "steel instead of plastic" has gradually risen, and some of the more leading domestic design schemes such as Benego have all referred to international standards for the use of stainless steel pipe fittings, and its leading position has been gradually verified, which the author believes is a very good phenomenon.
At present, PPR and PVC pipes are used more in building water, and the two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, but if you comprehensively consider the water quality, service life, later maintenance and other factors, both are inferior to stainless steel water pipes, as we all know, stainless steel is also widely used in food, medical and other high-demand fields, and its surface can not breed microorganisms, but also corrosion-resistant, and has a high guarantee in water safety and water quality circulation.
At the same time, in the excellent design scheme of the living water system, the maintenance of the pipeline system needs to avoid the risk of building aging, and it is also a basic requirement to be controllable and replaceable, which is better than the traditional pipeline design scheme.
In short, the water that can "live" is the whole house living water system that truly has household significance
