The Disadvantages of Water Purifiers And Precautions

The Disadvantages of Water Purifiers And Precautions

1. Filter cartridges need to be replaced regularly

13. Different types of cartridges have different service lives. For example, PP cotton cartridge generally 3 – 6 months need to be replaced once, the activated carbon cartridge may be 6 – 12 months to replace once, reverse osmosis membrane cartridge service life is relatively long, generally 1 – 2 years to replace once. If the filter element is not replaced in time, it will not only affect the purification effect of the water purifier, but also may lead to secondary pollution.

2. May produce wastewater (reverse osmosis water purifier)

14. As mentioned earlier, reverse osmosis water purifiers produce wastewater. This wastewater is not potable, but it can be used for other purposes, such as flushing toilets and mopping floors. However, in some water-stressed areas, wastewater generation may become a problem.
3. Cost Issues
1. Purchasing a water purifier itself requires a certain amount of money, with prices ranging from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the brand, features and other factors. And the subsequent cartridge replacement is also an ongoing expense.
