Household water purifiers are now being used more and more.
It can be said that nine out of ten households in the decoration at this stage will consider installing water purifiers.
It can also be seen that water purifiers have become a necessity in our lives.
However, for most of our families, we don't know much about some situations of water purifiers.
In the daily use of the water purifier, there may be some abnormalities. These anomalies should arouse our vigilance.
If there are these abnormalities in the water purifier, can you still drink it? Don't be careless, these situations should be vigilant.
(a) - There are bubbles
There are a lot of bubbles in the water purifier, and I believe many friends have seen it.
In fact, this is also an abnormal situation of water coming out of the water purifier.
I believe that many friends have noticed this situation, that is, we use the water cup to connect the water from the water purifier and find that there are a lot of bubbles in the water cup.
However, for these bubbles in the water, after standing still for a while, it will naturally disappear.
At this time, in fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, because most of it is a normal situation.
And if there are bubbles, it is generally a newly installed water purifier or a new filter element.
For the water purifier, there are many bubbles, which may be caused by the following reasons:
(1) Newly installed water purifier or replaced filter element. At this time, due to the large amount of air in the activated carbon pores, after entering the water, the air will dissolve in the water, resulting in a large number of bubbles.
(2) There is gas in the tap water pipe network. This will happen when the water pipe network is repaired, and the water is stopped and the water is restarted. Because the solubility of the gas in the pipe network in the water increases, it dissolves in the tap water. When the water comes out, bubbles appear.
(3) The water outlet is doped with external air. In particular, the water flow of the faucet is relatively fast, and the water column is easy to collide with the water cup to produce some bubbles. At this time, if you move the cup closer, there may be fewer bubbles.
It can be seen that there are bubbles in the water from the water purifier, which is a physical phenomenon. In this case, the water quality will generally not be affected. So, we don't have to worry too much.
(1) For the newly installed water purifier, you can observe it for two or three days. Generally speaking, after a period of use, the bubbles will disappear naturally.
(2) Static and observant. Hit a glass of water and see if the bubbles inside will disappear naturally. If you leave it for a few minutes, it will all disappear naturally, and there is basically no effect.
(2) - whitish
There is another situation that may happen when the water purifier comes out, that is, the water is whitish.
If we take a glass of tap water, then a cup of water from a water purifier, and put it together for comparison, we will find that its color is whitish.
For water purifiers, it is done through filter cartridge filtration.
The filter element should ensure the penetration of water, so the surface of the filter membrane is hydrophilic.
However, the membrane matrix of the general water purifier is hydrophobic, so it is necessary to use a hydrophilic modifier for modification.
The general hydrophilic agent, which has a certain amphiphilic nature, will cause a large amount of foam, resulting in whitish water.
Therefore, the whitish water of the water purifier is generally caused by the following reasons:
(1) If the water filtered out of the water purifier is foamed or whitish after the first use or after the filter element is replaced, it is due to the trace amount of hydrophilic agent that may remain in the water.
(2) For hydrophilic agents, you can rest assured. Because of the medical-grade and food-grade hydrophilic agents (protective liquids), there is basically no harm to the human body. So, don't worry too much about this whitish situation.
(1) We only need to turn on the water purifier, turn on the water purification faucet, and rinse the filter element thoroughly when we use it for the first time. In fact, it is to put more water out.
(2) If we don't know how to rinse, we can put water for a while longer. The way to do this is to turn on the water purifier and then connect a little more water until the color is normal, and that's it.
(3) - Sweet out of the water
Many friends may find such a phenomenon, that is, the taste of the water from the water purifier is sweet.
This means that we drink water filtered from a water purifier and feel a little sweeter.
In fact, this shows that after the water purifier is filtered, it can indeed change the taste of the water.
Because a lot of tap water has to be chlorinated, it doesn't taste good.
The reason why the water filtered by the water purifier is sweet is actually caused by the following reasons:
(1) The effect after filtration. The activated carbon in the filter cartridge removes metals and chlorine as well as chlorine compounds from the tap water. In particular, the chlorine in the water will change significantly.
(2) After removing the chlorine in the tap water, we drink the filtered water compared with the original tap water, there is a significant change, the taste will become better, and most of the time the water will feel sweet.
Therefore, the sweetness of the water filtered by the water purifier is not the sweetness of the water quality, but the problem of our taste.
(4) - The water is turbid
For household water purifiers, when using them, we should pay attention to one situation, that is, the situation of the filtered water.
If we find that the water filtered by the water purifier is relatively turbid, then we should be vigilant.
Of course, the water filtered by the water purifier is very turbid, and the chance of this happening is very small.
However, often due to the water purifier, the water may also be turbid.
For these, it is necessary to understand some of the possible causes:
(1) The ultrafiltration membrane is damaged. It is generally caused by too much pressure at the outlet of the water purifier or pressure fluctuations. After that, the ultrafiltration membrane ruptures and the effluent becomes cloudy.
(2) The sealing ring is worn. Because there is a sealing ring on the top of the filter element, if the water purifier at home is used for a long time, the sealing ring may wear out. After that, it may cause the water to be cloudy.
(3) The water purifier is not used for a long time. Like when we go out, there may be no one at home, and we don't use water purifiers at home for a long time. At this time, if you use a water purifier again, you will find that the water that comes out may be turbid.
(1) If it is a water purifier that is often used, and the water suddenly appears turbid, then the ultrafiltration membrane is generally broken. At this point, the solution is to replace it with a new ultrafiltration membrane cartridge.
(2) If it is a perennial water purifier and the water is gradually turbid, then the sealing ring on the filter element should be considered. At this time, you can generally find the after-sales service of the water purifier to overhaul us.
(3) If it is a water purifier that has not been used for a long time, then it must be cleaned as much as possible that can clean the filter element. If it can't be cleaned, it is recommended that you replace the filter element.
(5) - The water has a peculiar smell
There is another situation that needs to arouse our vigilance when the water comes out of the water purifier, that is, the water has a peculiar smell.
The purpose of installing the water purifier is to make the water quality better and taste better.
However, often due to some reasons, you will find that the water filtered by the water purifier has a peculiar smell.
In fact, everyone should be vigilant about all the water that smells.
Because for normal tap water, there will be no smell other than the smell of some disinfectant water.
After the water purifier treatment, the smell of general disinfectant water is gone. So, there should be no smell either.
The reasons for the peculiar smell of the filtered water after the water purifier treatment are generally as follows:
(1) The filter element of the water purifier is aging. Like the water purifier at many friends' homes, they may only know how to use it and never change the filter element. Then after a long time in this situation, the filtered water may have a peculiar smell.
(2) The water purifier is not used for a long time, and it may also have a peculiar smell when used suddenly. Like many friends, there may be no one at home, and the water purifier is not used for several months or even many years. If you use it suddenly, it may also have a peculiar smell.
(3) The reason for tap water. In this case, the tap water is usually contaminated. For example, it may be due to a broken pipe network. This situation occurs on a large scale, and the probability of occurrence is very small.
(1) After discovering that tap water has a peculiar smell, stop using it in time to avoid harm. After that, look for the specific cause.
(2) If it is the cause of the water purifier, it is recommended that you check the filter element of the water purifier. For example, the filter can be replaced or cleaned, which basically solves these problems.
Written at the end of the article
For household water purifiers, everyone should be familiar with them. However, there is not much understanding of some of the anomalies that have occurred.
Some of the five situations introduced to you in this article are normal phenomena, and some situations need to arouse our vigilance. I hope you can remember all these situations clearly!
