No water supply network, even made of the best materials, is capable of supplying clean water. Some people buy purified bottled water, while others prefer water purification systems. It is very difficult and quite expensive to buy water every time, so it is better to give preference to systems that independently purify running water. Ultrafiltration of water is an effective method.
This technology allows you to retain minerals by filtering out bacteria, viruses and parasites.
The principle of operation of the ultrafiltration system
Water under high pressure passes through a system of microscopic membranes, thereby being cleaned of dirt, rust and other third-party impurities. The pores of the membrane are much smaller than the size of a virus or bacterium, which is why the microorganism is simply unable to pass such a barrier. A system is installed at the entrance of the water supply to the room. Due to the convenient location principle, water can be supplied not only to the kitchen, but also to the bathroom, boiler room, etc. Water that is filtered in this way does not need to be further purified, it can be consumed immediately. Also, healthy minerals are not removed during the cleaning process
Advantages of ultrafiltration
The ultrafiltration unit is capable of purifying water of any quality, both artesian and riverine.
The process is fully automated, which makes it fast and reliable, ensuring low operating costs.
The cost of such a system is quite acceptable, if you take into account the quality of the water that you get as a result. In addition, you will not have to buy additional special filters every few months, which will have a positive impact on the budget. The compactness of the system will allow you to place the equipment even in rooms with a small area and in the most inaccessible places.
What can an ultrafiltration membrane protect against?
With the help of ultrafiltration, viruses and bacteria in water can be removed by 99%. This result cannot be achieved by traditional cleaning methods. The ultrafiltration membrane is able to cope with:
- microorganisms;
- suspended particles;
- colloids;
- molecules from protein compounds.
After purification from impurities, the water passes through a special cartridge, which improves the organoleptic properties of the water, such as taste and smell.
Ultrafiltration systems are an excellent choice if you need additional water purification and do not want to order bottled water every time. With the help of ultrafiltration, it is possible to remove all harmful microorganisms, while preserving useful minerals in the water.
