The quality and purity of tap water does not always meet the requirements of people who take care of their he alth. It should be noted that initially, when supplied, the water is relatively safe. The main problem lies in the pipelines, which in most settlements are subject to replacement. It is during transportation through old, rusted pipes that the pollution process occurs. Therefore, low-quality, and sometimes not entirely safe water gets into houses, apartments, offices. Not only its composition changes, but also the taste, color, smell. In the liquid from the tap, you can find viruses, bacteria and an excess of some trace elements.
Buying constantly pumps with pure spring water is not a cheap pleasure. In addition, there are many fakes on the market. No wonder tap water filtration devices are so popular.
What is Barrier Standard
The "Barrier" filter is one of the market leaders. The Standard filter model is the most in demand. It is the perfect combination of price and quality.
Filter for cleaning flowwater is installed directly into the supply system. You can use it in an office, a private house, an apartment, or in any other place where tap water is used for drinking. After installing the filter, purified and usable water flows from the tap.
Cartridges
The device consists of not one but three main modules. Thanks to this, cleaning is multi-stage, that is, deeper. Each module does its job:
- Cartridge "Barrier Standard" №1. Its function is mechanical cleaning. It eliminates contaminants visible to the eye: sand, rust and other small particles that enter the water from pipes during transportation. The first cartridge does the most important job. After such filtration, the water becomes much cleaner, but it is not recommended to use it for drinking or cooking.
- Cartridge 2. This is where ion exchange takes place. Water is purified from heavy metals (lead, copper and others), if they are present in the composition.
- Cartridge 3. It carries out the final stage of cleaning. Tap water is purified from chlorine, as well as from other organic compounds.
This integrated approach allows you to get the most clean and safe water without unpleasant tastes and odors. It can be drunk by adults and children, cooked with it, used for washing dishes, laundry, hygiene procedures and more.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of the "Barrier Standard" filter include:
- low cost (from2900 rubles);
- compact size (which allows you to install it under the sink or against the wall);
- possibility of self-assembly without involving the services of relevant specialists (the kit contains an instruction with a detailed description of the process).
The disadvantages include the fact that the system is considered budgetary, that is, intended specifically for domestic use (in residential buildings, apartments, cottages). Of course, for some large-scale production, where maximum water purification in large volumes is required, such a filter will not work. Its power and performance is simply not enough to serve the entire enterprise.
How long can Barrier Standard be used?
Do not forget that filters have their own service life, which is determined not by time, but by the amount of purified water. The maximum volume is 10,000 liters.
Over time, the quality of cleaning decreases, and the filters must be replaced. The procedure is not difficult and is performed independently. Additional modules and cartridges can be purchased at a hardware store or ordered online.
"Barrier Standard" is a budget, but effective filter for high-quality purification of tap water of any degree of contamination.
