In daily life, we often see scale formation on the inner wall of the kettle after being used for a long time. What is the reason? It turns out that the water we take contains many inorganic salts, such as calcium and magnesium salts. These salts are invisible to the naked eye in water at room temperature. Once they are heated and boiled, a lot of calcium and magnesium salts will precipitate out as carbonates, and they will form scale when they cling to the kettle wall.

We usually use the index of "hardness" to express the content of calcium and magnesium ions in water. A hardness of 1 degree is equivalent to 10 mg of calcium oxide per liter of water. The water below 8 degrees is called soft water, the water above 17 degrees is called hard water, and the water between 8 to 17 degrees is called moderately hard water. Rain, snow, rivers, rivers, and lakes are all soft water, spring water, deep well water, and sea water are all hard water
Raw water refers to untreated water. In a broad sense, the water before entering the water treatment process is also called the raw water of the water treatment. For example, the water sent from the water source to the clarification tank is called raw water.
  
Softened water refers to water whose hardness (mainly refers to calcium and magnesium ions in water) has been removed or reduced to a certain extent. In the process of water softening, only the hardness decreases, while the total salt content does not change.

Desalting water refers to water that has been removed or reduced to a certain extent by salts (mainly strong electrolytes dissolved in water). The electrical conductivity is generally 1.0~10.0μS/cm, the resistivity (25℃)(0.1~1.0)×106Ω˙cm, and the salt content is 1~5mg/L.

Pure water refers to the water that has been removed or reduced to a certain extent by the strong and weak electrolytes (such as SiO2, CO2, etc.) in the water. The electrical conductivity is generally 1.0~0.1μS/cm, and the electrical conductivity (1.01.0~10.0)×106Ω˙cm. The salt content is <1mg/L.

Ultrapure water refers to the water in which the conductive medium in the water is almost completely removed, and the non-dissociated gases, colloids, and organic substances (including bacteria, etc.) are also removed to a very low level. Its electrical conductivity is generally 0.1~0.055μS/cm, resistivity (25℃) ﹥10×106Ω˙cm, salt content ﹤0.1mg/L. Ideal pure water (theoretically) has a conductivity of 0.05μS/cm and a resistivity (25°C) of 18.3×106Ω˙cm.

The core function of a household water purifier is to adsorb and filter impurities in the water to further improve the quality of drinking water. The core component of the water purifier is the filter element, which is equivalent to the heart of the human body and plays a vital role in the operation of the water purifier. However, the filter element is not permanently used and is affected by external factors such as poor water quality and high frequency of use. Impact, the service life will be greatly shortened, so how to make the water purifier filter element more durable? Today Susan has compiled some maintenance tips for you to teach you how to better maintain the water purifier filter element and extend its service life!

I recently heard a case like this: a man had kidney stones, but for various reasons he did not have medical insurance. At the end of last year, he calculated that the surgery and medicine costs were nearly 30,000 yuan. This was a big burden for him with a low income. While prescribing medicine for him, the doctor at a tertiary hospital solemnly reminded him: "You should pay attention to what kind of water you drink every day. If you have the conditions, buy a water purifier!" It can be seen that his illness is closely related to unclean drinking water.

Some time ago, I talked to a friend about water purifiers. My friend always complained that he had to replace the filter cartridge of the water purifier again this year, and more than a thousand yuan was gone again.
There is a problem that everyone must pay attention to, that is, the replacement of the filter cartridge of the water purifier. It can be said that after installing a water purifier at home, there will be problems in this regard every year.
I don’t know if you have encountered this situation: the after-sales service of the water purifier urges to replace the filter cartridge every year. So is it "dedication" or "deception"?
In this article, Susan will share with you the relevant issues of replacing the filter cartridge of the water purifier, and try to avoid pitfalls.

Does your home have a water purifier? For many people, this has become a necessary household appliance. But do you know? It is not a decoration, but the last barrier to your healthy drinking water. Don't underestimate it, it can filter out rust, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the water, ensuring the safety of your drinking water and your health.

However, this thing is not done once you use it. Many people turn their water purifier into a "sewage purifier" because they don't pay attention to the time to replace the filter element, or simply forget it.
