Materials For Household Water Filtration ‌

Common materials for household water filtration include activated carbon, ultrafiltration membrane, reverse osmosis membrane, ceramic filter element and ion exchange resin filter element, etc. These materials have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios.

Activated carbon filter element
Activated carbon filter element is one of the most common types of filter elements, mainly used to remove chlorine, odor, discoloration and organic matter in water. The porous structure of activated carbon can effectively adsorb impurities, making the water clearer and purer.

Ultrafiltration membrane filter element
Ultrafiltration membrane filter element uses microporous filtration technology to remove suspended matter, colloids, bacteria and some viruses in water. Compared with reverse osmosis filter element, ultrafiltration membrane filter element retains the mineral components in water and is more suitable for daily drinking water filtration.

Reverse osmosis membrane filter element
Reverse osmosis membrane filter element removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses in water through semi-permeable membrane technology. Reverse osmosis filter element can provide high-purity water quality and is suitable for families or areas with high water quality requirements.

Ceramic filter element
Ceramic filter element is made of natural ceramic material, which can effectively remove bacteria and suspended solids in water. Its advantage is that it can be cleaned and reused repeatedly, and is suitable for pre-filtration or as an auxiliary filter for other filter elements.

Ion exchange resin filter element
Ion exchange resin filter element is mainly used to soften water quality, remove calcium and magnesium ions in water, and prevent scale formation. It is suitable for families in hard water areas.
