How to choose a water filter jug. Top manufacturers

Water - the basis of the daily diet, and it should be of high quality, free of impurities and odors.In an urban environment, we often drink heavily chlorinated liquid, and in the country, producing water even from a deep well, there is no guarantee bacteriological purity. To the aid of special filters with replaceable cartridges.

The operating principle of the device, and a jug of water

At home, at the cottage or the filter should be.It is easy to use, able to cope with it even a child. The design is the same as it does not require any add-ons and special effects:

• jug;
• set tank for water;
• cartridge.

Water type in the upper portion, it is passed through the filter, freed of impurities, and then collects in the lower reservoir. The design of assembled and disassembled, it can (and should!) Be cleaned regularly and change the cassette.Jugs are available from glass or plastic, the more common the second option.

After the purchase must perform certain operating rules, are simple:

1. Wash with detergent.
2. Every 3 months to change the cartridge, because it will accumulate bacteria and harmful substances. If it is just to wash, its service life from this will not increase! Only replacement!
3. The water after the filtration is kept not more than 12 hours. Once we have cleared it from chlorine, give freedom to bacteria breeding. Believe me, they are very quick to react to changing conditions and launch the process of colonization.

Extend the shelf life can be! Put the jar in the refrigerator, there is little priutihnut bacteria, but the time should not exceed three days.

1. It is strictly forbidden to keep the cartridges in the sun and leave to dry. If the filter for a long time lying on the shelf without the case, then it will need to "warm up". To do this, we filter and pour into 2 portions.

So, simply use the device, and how not to get lost in a wide range presented in the stores?

Key Selection Criteria

Caring about the health of the family, we see devices from different points of view.

volume

First of all pay attention to the volume.This is more a factor of the economy. A large family will require considerable water flow, so it is best to pay attention to chetyrohlitrovye capacity. A family of two or three people missing and 1.5-2 liters. Small appliances make it easy to put them in the refrigerator.

Do not choose the design with a reserve water is used at a time, and not accumulated and not worth it for days. Remember about the timing of bacterial growth.

types of cartridges

They solve several problems at once:

• eliminate the chlorine various impurities and bacterial contamination;
• reduced stiffness;
• improve the taste and color;
• spend mineralization.

According to the species identified a number of basic types that differ in composition. You should choose on their needs, wishes, health status and quality of tap water.

1. The most commonly used coal, which perfectly cleans impurities and absorbs all the excess. The charcoal filters on average enough for about 750 liters.
2. To mitigate and disposal of heavy metal impurities added by ion exchange resins.
3. Fluorinating supplements help to improve the condition of hair and bones.
4. For mineralization used cassette includes useful minerals.
5. In families with young children it is recommended to buy cartridges without money.

Each region has its own characteristics of water supply. From the depth, purity and properties of the soil depends on the state of the some water, which eventually falls to us to tap.

I advise you to buy replacement filters with indicator, it will be easier to track down and change the cartridge on time.
