What does a water purifier do?

Many households now have water purifiers installed, and many public places also use water purifiers. The main function of a water purifier is to purify water. For example, tap water that was originally undrinkable can be drunk after being treated by a water purifier. Everyone should pay attention to the health issues of using a water purifier, such as cleaning it regularly. The role of a water purifier is introduced in detail below.

What is the function of a water purifier?

Benefit 1 of water purifier: Solve the secondary pollution of tap water

After tap water is disinfected with chlorine, it can kill viruses and bacteria, but it cannot remove heavy metals, volatile substances, etc.; after tap water is transported long distances through pipelines, it is susceptible to secondary pollution, so people basically choose to boil it before drinking it, but boiling it can only solve the bacterial problem, but cannot solve problems such as mud, rust, heavy metals, volatile substances and bacterial "corpses". The water quality of drinking water will not be fundamentally improved, and it will cause serious hidden dangers to health.

Benefit 2 of water purifier: the best choice to replace bottled water

A barrel of bottled water costs about 8 to 16 yuan, which is relatively expensive. Moreover, a considerable proportion of this water is tap water processed by large-scale water purifiers or pure water machines, and there is very little natural mineral water. At the same time, bottled water has a short shelf life and is in an open state after being connected to a water dispenser, making it easily contaminated by pollutants in the air. Therefore, it is not an ideal drinking water solution.

Benefit 3 of water purifier: Unlike bottled water, it is not very expensive

Bottled water is used as daily water by a few wealthy families, but its cost is too high. Bottled water is purified water and lacks trace elements and minerals. Drinking it for a long time is not good for human health, and its effect may not be as good as that of a water purifier.

Benefit 4 of water purifier: meeting drinking water standards and lower cost

A water purifier can effectively separate and remove various pollutants, such as bacteria, residual chlorine, heavy metals, volatile substances, rust, silt and other impurities and harmful substances in the water. Its cost is much lower than that of bottled water. The water tastes good and the water quality is good. It is the most ideal drinking water solution for families.

Water is the source of life, and drinking water safety affects our health. Experts have found that tap water currently contains heavy metals, which are extremely harmful. There is no way to remove pollutants such as heavy metals and bacteria after boiling tap water. Therefore, boiling tap water can only preliminarily solve the bacterial problem, but cannot solve problems such as rust, heavy metals, and silt. In addition, after the tap water is boiled, the residual chlorine in the water will produce chloroform after high-temperature boiling. Chloroform is a standard carcinogen. Therefore, just boiling the water will not fundamentally improve the water quality of the drinking water, and it will cause serious hidden dangers to the body.
