A water purification cartridge is, in fact, a filter and performs the actual purification of impurities. Different types of contaminants require their cartridges. Still, all of them need replacement or regeneration after the end of their resource or, in other words, the ability to remove impurities. Cartridges are unified under the housing standard. There are 5, 10, and 20 inches in height and diameter standards – SL and BB. Some manufacturers produce cartridges of their standards. The Repair Service Bro company’s range includes several cartridges suitable exclusively for our systems. However, the most common are cartridges of the sizes mentioned above. Cartridges for household filters can be mesh, metal and plastic, carbon, polypropylene, iron-removing, and ion-exchange. The Repair Service Bro company’s range also includes cartridges made of a unique polymer material, Aragon, which comprehensively purifies water from many known impurities.
How often should I change the water filter in a jug?
 According to the manufacturer’s recommendations, the cartridge should be changed approximately 5 times less often in regions with soft water than in areas with super-hard water. With a consumption of 5 litres per day for approximately 60 days in areas with soft water and 1 time in 10 days in areas with super-hard water. Of course, provided that you use cartridges manufactured by RO service in Zirakpur Group, we are responsible for the required frequency of replacing water filters. According to our tests, cartridges from other manufacturers have a 1.5 to 3 times less resource. It should be understood that cleaning with a jug is convenient and simple, but the water cost due to frequent cartridge replacement is significantly higher than when using flow-through systems.
How often should I change the water filter in flow-through systems?
The modules are replaced according to the recommendations. In regions with soft water, this is approximately once a year; in areas with hard water and especially with super-hard water, when scale appears, a film on boiled water and tea. And this can happen in 2 months. Everything depends on the natural hardness of the water. Conveniently, most softening cartridges can be regenerated. Aragon-Bio cartridges cannot be regenerated, but they also serve for a long time, and a quasi-softening resource reliably supplements the ion-exchange resource. After our systems, the water is clean and healthy because the cartridges increase the percentage of useful calcium (aragonite) in purified water. Aragonite waters do not deposit hard scales; old scale gradually peels off; these waters are recommended to prevent urolithiasis and osteoporosis.
The frequency of replacement of Repair Service Bro water filters in osmotic systems is based on the following considerations:
- Preliminary cleaning once a year
- Post-filter once a year
- Mineralizer once a year
- The membrane is changed immediately after the appearance of the scale
Frequency of Main water filters
The frequency of replacement of main water filters for the entire apartment is carried out as they become dirty. Mechanical particles will impede the flow of water. In transparent housings, you can also visually observe the degree of contamination of the filter elements.
Of course, and nothing new here, the source water quality affects any cartridge’s resource. Natural surface water usually has high levels of organic impurities; deep water is hard and ferrous, and tap water must first be purified from chlorine, trivalent, and colloidal iron. When choosing a filter for your needs, you need to understand what impurities are in your source water and choose a filter that works specifically on these impurities, thus significantly increasing the resource of cartridges.
Also, the cartridge’s service life for a household system will be increased by the presence of a main filter and reduced by its absence.
Conclusion:
RO service near me recommends that buyers follow the product instructions. Still, it is useful to familiarize yourself in detail with the cleaning methods, water treatment and cleaning processes, and individual cartridges’ properties to save money on consumables and gain general knowledge on this topic.
