The strong acid cation resin is used to replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the raw water, and then the boiler inlet water filtered by the water softening equipment becomes the softened water for the boiler with extremely low hardness.
 
 
working principle
Ion exchange method
Method: Use a specific cation exchange resin to replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium ions. Due to the high solubility of sodium salt, the formation of scale caused by the increase in temperature is avoided.
  
Features and effects: The effect is stable and accurate, and the technology is mature. The hardness can be reduced to 0.
Scope of application: catering, food, chemical, pharmaceutical and other fields, air-conditioning, industrial circulating water and other applications. The most commonly used standard method at present.
  
Electromagnetic method
Method: Add a certain electric or magnetic field to the water to change the characteristics of the ions, thereby changing the deposition rate of calcium carbonate (magnesium carbonate) and the physical characteristics of the deposition to prevent the formation of hard scale.
  
Features and effects: equipment investment is small, installation is convenient, and operating costs are low. The effect is not stable enough, there is no unified measurement standard, and because the main function is only to affect the physical properties of the scale within a certain range, the use time and distance of the treated water have certain limitations.
  
Scope of application: It is mostly used in the treatment of commercial (such as central air-conditioning, etc.) circulating cooling water, but cannot be used in industrial production and boiler make-up water treatment.
  
Membrane separation
Method: Both nanofiltration membrane (NF) and reverse osmosis membrane (RO) can intercept calcium and magnesium ions in the water, thereby radically reducing the hardness of the water.
The hardness can only be reduced to a certain range.
Features and effects: The effect is obvious and stable, and the water after treatment has a wide application range. There are higher requirements for the inlet water pressure, and the equipment investment and operating costs are higher.
Scope of application: Generally, it is rarely used for special softening treatment.

Lime method
Method: Add lime to the water.
Features and effects: The hardness can only be reduced to a certain range.
Applicable range: Applicable range of high-hard water with large flow rate.
  
Dosing
Method: Adding a special scale inhibitor to the water can change the combination of calcium and magnesium ions and carbonate ions, so that scale can not be precipitated and deposited.
Features and effects: less one-time investment and wide adaptability. When the water volume is soft and large, the operating cost is biased.
Scope of application: Due to the addition of chemical substances, the application of water is greatly restricted. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be used in drinking, food processing, industrial production, etc. It is also rarely applied in the civilian field.

The core function of a household water purifier is to adsorb and filter impurities in the water to further improve the quality of drinking water. The core component of the water purifier is the filter element, which is equivalent to the heart of the human body and plays a vital role in the operation of the water purifier. However, the filter element is not permanently used and is affected by external factors such as poor water quality and high frequency of use. Impact, the service life will be greatly shortened, so how to make the water purifier filter element more durable? Today Susan has compiled some maintenance tips for you to teach you how to better maintain the water purifier filter element and extend its service life!

I recently heard a case like this: a man had kidney stones, but for various reasons he did not have medical insurance. At the end of last year, he calculated that the surgery and medicine costs were nearly 30,000 yuan. This was a big burden for him with a low income. While prescribing medicine for him, the doctor at a tertiary hospital solemnly reminded him: "You should pay attention to what kind of water you drink every day. If you have the conditions, buy a water purifier!" It can be seen that his illness is closely related to unclean drinking water.

Some time ago, I talked to a friend about water purifiers. My friend always complained that he had to replace the filter cartridge of the water purifier again this year, and more than a thousand yuan was gone again.
There is a problem that everyone must pay attention to, that is, the replacement of the filter cartridge of the water purifier. It can be said that after installing a water purifier at home, there will be problems in this regard every year.
I don’t know if you have encountered this situation: the after-sales service of the water purifier urges to replace the filter cartridge every year. So is it "dedication" or "deception"?
In this article, Susan will share with you the relevant issues of replacing the filter cartridge of the water purifier, and try to avoid pitfalls.

Does your home have a water purifier? For many people, this has become a necessary household appliance. But do you know? It is not a decoration, but the last barrier to your healthy drinking water. Don't underestimate it, it can filter out rust, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the water, ensuring the safety of your drinking water and your health.

However, this thing is not done once you use it. Many people turn their water purifier into a "sewage purifier" because they don't pay attention to the time to replace the filter element, or simply forget it.
