How to choose a prefilter?

Determining which prefilter is right for your case is not always an easy task, the answers to these questions will help you deal with it.
How much water should be purified per month?
Look at the meter readings, how many liters of water per month you spend on average per family. This affects the size of the case, the specialization of the cartridge and the frequency of its replacement.
Where to install prefilter?




Analyze the room in which you plan to install the equipment to understand if the standard size fits or if you should pay attention to more compact models. As a rule, when replacing the module, the lower part of the housing, together with the filter itself, is disconnected from the upper one. It is recommended to leave a significant amount of space under the filter in order to replace it accurately.
If the installation site is difficult to access, pay attention to the pre-filters with the type of attachment "American" - when replacing filters in the future, you will appreciate the simplicity and convenience of this type of attachment.

Need to purify cold or hot water?
The housing and the replaceable pre-filter module must be able to withstand the appropriate temperatures. Cold is considered water with a temperature of +5 to +35 degrees Celsius, hot - above +35 degrees. By the way, with central hot water supply, hot water is dirtier than cold water.

What degree of water purification is needed?
To remove sand, rust, silt and mechanical impurities, a pre-filter with a polypropylene cartridge is sufficient. The carbon cartridge will purify the water deeper - it will remove chlorine, phenols, benzenes, pesticides, heavy metals. Water after deep cleaning does not dry the skin and does not cause allergies. However, the cost of such a filter will be higher.
