Install Ultrafiltration Water Filter or RO System?

RO System not only removes the dust, sediment, and some organic matter and microorganisms in the water, but also removes the calcium and magnesium ions that form scale when boiling water. That is to say, the RO System removes almost all impurities in the water.

Most families drink pure water. As we all know, the most important thing for water filter products is the filter element. The household water purifiers on the market are mainly divided into two types of ultrafiltration systems and reverse osmosis olefins according to the filter element structure.

The pore size of the ultrafiltration membrane is about (0.001-0.1) um, and colloids, rust, suspended matter, sediment, macromolecular organic matter, etc. in the water can be intercepted by the ultrafiltration membrane to complete purification. Ultrafiltration water filters generally do not require a pump and do not require power consumption, avoiding electrical safety issues. And it has large water output, no waste water, environmental protection and energy saving. In addition, due to fewer joints and low water pressure, the normal water pressure of municipal water is generally sufficient, so the failure rate and the probability of water leakage are relatively low.

The shortcomings of ultrafiltration membranes are also obvious. After prolonged use of ultrafiltration water filters, the residue on the surface of the membrane will affect the water output and need to be cleaned in time; the removal effect of chemical contaminants in water is poor, and the taste of water outlet is general , Can not reduce the hardness of the water, the boiling water container still has the possibility of scaling.

Compared with the ultrafiltration water purifier, the output water quality of the reverse osmosis system is cleaner and safer. It can remove various harmful impurities and metal ions in the water. The water outlet has a good mouthfeel, which can reduce the hardness of the water.

The disadvantage of the reverse osmosis water purifier is that the water pump needs to be energized, there are electrical safety problems, there are many joints, high water pressure, failure rate and probability of water leakage are relatively high, and the structure is complicated and the cost is high. Moreover, its water output is difficult to reach the output of the ultrafiltration water purifier, which will generate more wastewater. In terms of environmental protection and energy saving, the reverse osmosis water purifier is far inferior to the ultrafiltration water purifier.

Generally speaking, if the quality of city tap water is good and there is no large industrial sewage output around, ultrafiltration can meet the needs of life. On the contrary, in rural areas or where chemical pollution is more serious, RO systems come in handy.
