Drink water, this ordinary little thing, more and more people put in mind. Since the 20th century, US has been popularizing science on the benefits of boiling water and drinking it, which has effectively avoided many infectious diseases and helped Chinese people develop a good habit of drinking hot water. Even now boiling is still the basic method of purifying water in most Chinese homes. For the general public, the effective solution to drinking water safety is two in most cases, the purchase of purified water, mineral water and other pre-loaded water source, or the purchase of water purifier to improve the quality of household water.

On the actual domestic water needs to start, the use of water purifier experience appears to be more environmentally friendly and affordable. As a result, the water purifier industry has experienced high growth in the past few years. According to incomplete media statistics, there are now more than 3000 enterprises producing water purification equipment in China, and more than 1000 market brands. Although a large number of water purifiers provide enough consumption choices for the market, it also causes the decision-making burden of consumers. In the case of kitchen water purifier, only 36 kr of actual search results on the e-commerce platform showed more than 110,000 types of products.

Is water that looks pure really pure? Take for example the common retention problem of calcium and magnesium ions. People who love to drink hot water often find that there is scale in the kettle. The reason behind it is that the content of calcium and magnesium ions in the water is too high, which is commonly known as hard water, and this kind of water tastes bad. The birth of water purifier products, is to clean water as the goal. Some fancy functions, appearance are secondary options, determine the core performance indicators of water purifier product power, must be water purification performance. A really excellent pure water purifier, complete purification of water should be pure. To this end, we use distilled water without any metal ions as the base water sample, directional increase of pollutants (distilled water + calcium chloride can ensure that only calcium ions in the water are measured by EC conductive pen). Let's see how well these five machines can filter at high levels of pollution.

First of all, we are familiar with the daily water quality measurement standard TDS, the full name is Total dissolved solids, representing the total amount of dissolved solids in water. The lower the TDS, the purer the water. The "hardness" of water, if it can be confirmed that there are only calcium ions in the water, can be estimated by detecting the content of conductive metal ions in the water. The higher the value, the harder the water will be. The TDS value of the water sample after adding pollutants reached 2002 ppm and the hardness was 4062 us/cm. Subject to the performance characteristics of RO reverse osmosis membrane, if the water purifier is stopped for a long time, there will be some waste water reverse osmosis into the clean water side, resulting in the TDS value of the first cup of water after a long time stay becomes higher, affecting the health of direct drinking.

RO reverse osmosis (RO) is the mainstream technology in the purification of waste water like RO pure water filter machine. However, due to the performance characteristics of RO membrane, it will inevitably produce wastewater. Considering that the water purifier products are basically designed with pure water backwash, the net wastewater ratio experiment was carried out on five sets of products. The specific way is to open the faucet, in the case of water purifier stable discharge of clean water and waste water, observe the actual waste water generated by 500ml pure water connected with the measuring cylinder.

In addition to performance and experience, ease of use is also extremely important. The five players involved in the horizontal evaluation also have great differences in this aspect. Take the faucet as an example, the faucet of these five products all have the function of TDS and filter element replacement. For example, the faucet of Qinyuan can intuitively see the life of each filter element and the TDS value of real-time water. Besides, it is equipped with UV sterilization function, which can effectively prevent the water in the faucet from breeding bacteria. 

Convenience and worry is also reflected in the "quantity". Water purifier products have a noteworthy index: the total net water rating. The total net water volume is defined as the cumulative water yield of any purification unit during regeneration or replacement when the water quality of the purifier meets the requirements and the flow rate of the purified water is not less than the nominal flow rate of the purified water. Generally speaking, it is the total amount of water that can be purified without replacing the filter element under the fixed service cycle of the water purifier.

The experience and test results from three big dimensions of filtration performance, use experience, and use convenience show that Qinyuan is the product with the highest balance degree among the performance indexes of filtration and use, and almost takes into account the complete functions of the water purifier required by the public daily. The other products also have their own special design for different users' pain points, but the lack of partial filtration performance makes the overall protection of water safety, there is a gap. What kind of water purifier is really needed at home?
