Filters for water in a private house

Water - the source of life, and in order for it to be truly useful, the water is required to clean. Today, there are quite a few ways to purify water. From folk, has long proven ways to complex water treatment systems.

To filter the water in the home

• One of the most basic ways - it's just boiling. It is necessary to pour water in a bowl to boil and boil for 5 minutes. Necessarily have to let the water boil, which would kill any harmful microorganisms and evaporate the chlorine. Then water should settle, whereupon a precipitate formed at the bottom of the heavy salts.
• Purification by freezing. This way is much better than boiling. So as a result of freezing, destroyed only harmful microorganisms and beneficial properties of water remain. The water is first frozen and then thawed. And it uses only about 80% of thawed water, the remaining 20%, just throw.
• Purification of natural minerals. Good clean water potassium alum. They can be used in a ratio of 1 gram of alum in 4 liters of water. This way you can kill all the bacteria together with impurities. As a result of such treatment a precipitate formed, so the water is filtered through several layers with folded cheesecloth. After this procedure, the water can cause unpleasant odor, which can be removed using activated carbon. In the glass tube are poured charcoal tablet, the bottom plug is inserted with a pipette. Water is poured into the tube from above and below it drips already completely purified.

• The use of natural stones. It can be used with shungite and silicon. They are sold in powder form in any pharmacy. During such cleaning is necessary that all the water has interacted with natural sorbent.

How to choose a filter for the private home

What would you choose the right kind of filter, you need to have a clear idea of ​​the amount of consumption of filtered water. For example, for one person may be an elementary approach pitcher filter. It's pretty convenient device and cleans the water. Replaceable cartridge is enough for cleaning of from 100 to 400 liters, and the volume of the jug can be found up to 3 liters. The advantage of these types of water filtration, what they do not need to be connected to the water system. Water was poured into the tank with the filter and under the action of its gravity, it flows into the lower section of the jug, passing through the filter.

There are filters in the form of nozzles on the water tap. They just put on as needed on tap. Productivity is only one cup per minute, it is very small and this is their disadvantages.

For whatever mess with filters, nozzles can be installed permanently, it is mounted in the water. It is considered the most appropriate water treatment method, and quite common. The shop you can find many varieties of different manufacturers. They differ in purification efficiency, purification method, since the cleaning material performance and appearance. These filters remove various impurities and very harmful for the organism - chloro. The rate of water passing to 3 liters per minute, the endurance of 4,000 to 15,000 liters.

What are the filters

There are two-stage, three-stage and multi-stage reverse osmosis method. The latter kind of filter is the most effective and expensive. The system is equipped with an automatic flushing bandwidth membrane, each time turning the pump, for filtering water and set into the reservoir. Installation is equipped with computer-controlled, which monitors the pressure and water quality, as well as alerts on the need to change cartridges. The system involves a five-stage water filtration:

• Mechanical cleaning removes sand, rust, clay and other impurities larger than 5 microns.
• Coal cleaning removes water from the chlorine, and other active elements.
• Cleaning briquetted coal allows for depth filtration.
• RO membrane removes up to 99% of all impurities, including all sorts of bacteria and viruses. Through the membrane only water molecules seep, while for all other substances (salts of heavy metals, iron, etc.) created a barrier.
• Finishing purification consists of activated coconut charcoal in the granules. Used to improve the taste and odor of water.

Cleaning the water filter in a private house

In the private country house, the water can come from wells, from wells or municipal central water supply. In all three sources of water is not the best quality. For right choice of a water filtration system, you need to do it on the chemical content analysis. The analysis will be identified percentage of heavy metals, water hardness, and radioactivity more. Currently, high iron content and hardness are the most common problems. And so it is quite often set the mixed filtration system.

The cleaning system consists of a coherent chain of filters. Each filter will remove certain impurities, before settling on a particular system, you must all be carefully considered.

• First of all, attention is drawn to the filter performance. It must correspond to the quantity of water consumed in the home. If you buy filters with lower bandwidth than necessary, the water will not have time to be filtered out and the point in the installation is simply lost. This is especially significant for the mechanical water treatment filters. After all, for their normal operation, the water flow must not be too strong to all harmful particles remain inside the filter. But it is not necessary to acquire and filters having more power than you need.
• The number and variety of filters must be chosen based on the chemical analysis of water. When the content of water in a large quantity of iron applied obezzhelezivateli and the water softener is applied softening system.

Virtually any water filtration system includes several types of filters. It is necessary for phased water filtration.

• The first stage - is the mechanical removal of sand, clay and other major impurities. Mounted filter on the input of water into the house.
• The second step - a final filter assembly cleaning of contaminants and salts. They are mounted directly in the area surrounding the crane.

All filters are removable cartridges with a specified validity period. But still, of course, it depends on the amount of missing water.

Many companies offer to install fixed water filtration plant. They are located in the back rooms, in places of water injection. They work by electricity and the temperature should be between 5 and above. Installing such devices can solve many problematic qualities of water - hardness, turbidity, elevated iron smell of hydrogen sulfide. The system includes a number of components and the filters:

• Compressor with aeration column. Removed hydrogen sulfide gases promotes iron oxidation, prevents multiplication of microbes.
• iron removal filter. Removal of the water of iron, manganese and retention of remote agents in the layer of sorbent loading. When backwashing properties are recovered.
• softening filter. The specific resin used as backfill. It makes the water softer.
• fine filter. As a filtering material acts as coal. It removes odors and other contaminants. The cartridge is changed as needed.
• Brine tank for brine preparation.
• All the work station occurs automatically on the volume of purified water or a timer.

General properties of all filters

The entire process of water filtration of contaminants in the filter of good quality has several stages.

• mechanical impurities are removed in suspension;
• then a deeper cleaning of the solutes. Ideally, when the filter comprises two cleaning agent - activated carbon and ion exchanger.

Today, on a fairly large selection of filters market. When you purchase it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the bulb would be able to take any replaceable cartridges, then there will be no problems with their replacement.

Summarizing, we can say that for effective water treatment system needs to know the chemical composition of water, the amount of water required and the basis of this, to select the right set of filters. Correctly done filtration system will help to improve the properties of water consumed, and thus overall health.
