In recent years, as the first line of defense of household water purification systems, pre-filters have attracted more and more attention in recent years. So, do pre-filters work? This article will focus on its functions, effects and practical applications. And share with you which is the best pre-filter?
The main function of the pre-filter
The pre-filter is usually installed behind the water meter and is the first filtration device in the household water purification system. Its key features include:
Filter large impurities: The pre-filter can intercept large particles of impurities in the water, such as rust and sediment, to prevent these impurities from entering the household water system and protect subsequent wading appliances and equipment.
Extend the service life of wading appliances: Since the pre-filter can reduce impurities in the water, it can extend the service life of wading appliances such as washing machines, water heaters, and water purifiers.
Improves water quality: Although the pre-filter does not directly improve the purity of the water, it can remove some of the harmful substances in the water.
The effect of the pre-filter
After using a pre-filter, there will be a significant improvement in the quality of household water. First of all, it can be seen visually that the filtered water is clearer and transparent, and there are no more suspended impurities; Second, when using water-wading appliances, the equipment runs more smoothly and the failure rate will be reduced due to the reduction of impurities in the water.
Precautions for pre-filter installation
In practice, the pre-filter is very simple to install and use. Generally speaking, as long as the pre-filter is installed behind the water meter according to the requirements of the manual, it can be used. At the same time, the pre-filter is small in size and does not take up too much space, making it ideal for home use. Precautions for pre-filter installation include the following:
Installation time: The installation time of the pre-filter should not be too early, so as to avoid falling into dust and debris or collision during the construction process, which will affect its performance. It is recommended to install the cabinet after the completion of the hydropower renovation and before the cabinet is installed. If it is a renovated house, it can be installed at any time as long as there is space.
Installation location: The pre-filter should be installed in the runoff part of the special water pipe for the filter to keep the filter element and installation position clean to prevent impurities from clogging or affecting the filtration effect. At the same time, the installation position should be convenient for later flushing and drainage, and it is best to reserve a sewage outlet.
Installation environment: If the ambient temperature is high, you should choose a product that can withstand high temperatures. In addition, the installation position should be protected from direct sunlight, especially the filter with a plastic shell, to prevent aging, damage and other problems.
Installation tools: During the installation process, you need to prepare corresponding tools, such as wrenches, pipe wrenches, etc., to ensure that the installation is firm.
Brand selection: When purchasing a pre-filter, you should choose a regular brand and qualified products to ensure the filtration effect and safety.
Installation direction: pay attention to the direction of the inlet and outlet should not be reversed, and the installation space can be operated in a convenient way when cleaning the impurities and pollutants on the stainless steel filter screen during regular operation.
Which is the best pre-filter?
So, which is the best pre-filter? At present, there are a variety of pre-filter brands on the market, and consumers still need some methods and skills to choose a high-quality pre-filter. In this article, we will take the BWP-6000 pre-filter of the Blue Pioer Ultimate series as an example, and share what a good pre-filter looks like by combining the advantages and characteristics of this pre-filter.
1. Smart touch
The BWP-6000 pre-filter can be touched intelligently and freely, with the characteristics of free timing, worry-free and effort-saving. The flushing time and cycle can be intelligently set to effectively avoid filter blockage.
Moreover, the touch design of the BWP-6000 pre-filter is simple, clear and intuitive to operate, and the LCD touch screen reduces the cumbersome setting process. It greatly facilitates the use of consumers and fully saves time and energy.
2. Fully automatic flushing
The BWP-6000 pre-filter has a fully automatic vortex spray cleaning function, which can make the pre-filter flush more thoroughly. Through the rapid whirlpool technology, the water flow is swirled at high speed and the sewage discharge capacity is improved. It can also be backwashed at the touch of a button, and the backflush mode is automatically turned on by hydraulics and springs under precise fluid and mechanical design.
It is worth mentioning that the 3D magic scraping function of the BWP-6000 pre-filter can be scraped 360° without dead angles. At the same time of automatic high-speed spray cleaning, the outer skeleton of the filter screen rotates slowly, and the double-sided matrix operates, so that the cleaning is worry-free. This feature can reduce the maintenance of the pre-filter for consumers, save time and effort, and make it more convenient and practical, without the need for frequent manual cleaning of the filter element.
3. Large water flow
For example, the BWP-6000 pre-filter of the Blue Joy Ultimate series meets the domestic water demand with a high flow rate of 8t h, which is equivalent to filtering 8 barrels of 17 liters of bottled water per minute. This high-flow design allows for faster filtration of impurities and contaminants from the water, ensuring the efficiency and speed of water supply to meet daily water needs.
After reading this article, I believe you are interested in "Is the pre-filter useful?" This question already has its own answer. The installation of pre-filters helps to better protect other water purification equipment in the whole house water purification system, and can also reduce the maintenance cost of other water purification equipment. In addition, in order to get a better user experience, we need to choose a pre-filter with the characteristics of intelligent convenience, automatic flushing, and large water flow, so as to ensure that we get a satisfactory filtration effect.
