In the modern household water system, the pre-filter, as the first water purification equipment, plays a crucial role. It can not only effectively filter large particles of impurities in water, but also extend the service life of subsequent water purification equipment and improve the overall water quality. The following are the important roles that prefilters play in household water and their advantages.
Prefilter function
The pre-filter is mainly used for coarse filtration, and the large particle impurities such as sediment, rust and suspended matter are removed from the water by mechanical filtration. It is usually installed at the front end of the intake pipe and is the first line of defense in the household water system. The core filter medium is stainless steel filter or polymer filter, and the filtration accuracy is generally between 50-100 microns.
The important role of pre-filter
Protect downstream equipment: The pre-filter can effectively intercept large particles of impurities, prevent these impurities into the downstream water purification equipment, such as water softener, ultrafilter, reverse osmosis water purifier, etc., to avoid its filter element blockage or damage, extend the service life and maintenance cycle of these equipment.
Improve water quality: By removing sediment, rust and other impurities in the water, the pre-filter can significantly improve the cleanliness of household water and provide cleaner domestic water. This is especially important for daily washing, cooking, laundry and other water needs.
Protection of the pipeline system: The pre-filter can effectively prevent the deposition of large particles in the pipeline, reduce the risk of pipeline blockage and corrosion, and ensure the normal operation and service life of the household water pipeline system.
Reduce scale generation: By filtering out some impurities in the water, the pre-filter can reduce scale generation in water heaters, washing machines and other equipment, improve the efficiency and service life of these equipment.
Advantages of pre-filter
Easy maintenance: The structure of the pre-filter is simple, easy to clean and maintain. Users only need to open the filter screen regularly for washing to maintain its good filtering performance.
Low cost: The initial installation cost and maintenance cost of the pre-filter are relatively low, and no electric drive is required, which is an economic and practical water purification equipment.
Flexible installation: The pre-filter is small in size and flexible in installation position. Whether it is a new house or a built house, it can be easily installed in the appropriate position of the water inlet pipe.
Environmental protection and energy saving: The filtration process of the pre-filter does not require electricity, and does not produce waste water, which meets the requirements of environmental protection and energy saving, and is an ideal choice for green household water systems.
As the first line of defense in the household water system, the pre-filter plays an indispensable role with its efficient coarse filtration function and diversified advantages. By installing pre-filters, households can not only improve the overall water quality, protect downstream water purification equipment and pipe systems, but also achieve economical, practical and environmentally friendly water solutions. In the modern household water system, the pre-filter is undoubtedly an important and necessary equipment.
