Aquafor Viking is a series of main filters of the company based on the latest achievements in the field of water treatment. It has three modifications, the difference between which is only in size, or rather in height.
Description of a series of water purifiers
"Aquaphor Viking" refers to the main filters, that is , it purifies the water before it even leaves the pipe. It is designed for deep cleaning of liquids from a wide variety of impurities, such as sand and rust, metals and dissolved substances of various nature. It perfectly neutralizes chlorine.
The high productivity of this line of filters and their significant resource allow you to use the device to meet the needs of not only one family, but also a large number of people. So, you can install the filter "Aquaphor Viking" in a hospital, kindergarten, educational institution, restaurant.
Using this filter, you can not only provide yourself and your household with high-quality drinking water, on which the state of health depends, but also have clean water for swimming and other purposes. Do you know that being only 20 minutes in chlorinated water, you get the dose of chlorine you would get by drinking as much as two liters of tap water? Conclusion: the use of contaminated water for swimming is no less harmful than its internal use. The use of pure water on the health of hair and skin is especially noticeable.
Structural features
The water filter "Aquaphor Viking" has two main parts:
They are made of high-quality food steel, have a tight connection in the form of a flexible metal clamp, and to separate these two parts, you will need to unscrew the nut located on the clamp. A tee is mounted on a filter tee attached to the filter head for easy mounting to the wall. When buying a water purifier, you may find that its bowl is empty. This means that the cartridge is not included in the base kit.
Cartridges: general
All cartridges for water purifiers manufactured by Aquaphor are absolutely unique, each specific model is suitable only for a specific filter. Not all models are suitable for treating water at any temperature. Distinguishing them is very simple: those that can only clean cold water have brown plastic covers, and which are also suitable for hot water, they have red covers.
The innovative sorption fiber used in removable cartridges eliminates running water from all substances that can cause any harm to health, but it does not lose its beneficial properties. Depending on the modification of the filter and the choice of cartridge, the water purification resource of the device can vary from 15 to 100 thousand liters.
The most dimensional model from the Viking series
The device "Aquafor Viking" (height 600 cm) with the help of one filter module can purify from 40 to 100 thousand liters of water (the amount depends on the model of the removable part). At the same time, in one minute, the device will filter at least 10 and a maximum of 25 liters of water.
The company produces four varieties of cartridges suitable for this filter model:
- B150-Plus is not designed to work with water that is not suitable for drinking, and also if its temperature exceeds 40 ° C. Water return - 10 l / min, working reserve - 40 thousand l (hereinafter in brackets without explanation).
- B520-14 is also suitable for water purification up to 90 (25 l / min, 50 thousand l).
- 520- 5 can only be installed on a pipe with a water supply, temperature up to 40 (50 l / min, 50 thousand l).
- B520-13 does not withstand hot water (25 l / min, 100 thousand liters).
Medium-sized Water Purifier Model
The principle of operation of Aquaphor Viking Midi and the result after cleaning are similar to the previous model, but this one is lower in height (450 cm). The cartridges provided for it can clean from 25 to 60 thousand liters, and water can pass through the entire filtration system at a speed of 7 or 15 l / min.
Three types of modules are available for this model:
- B150-Midi eliminates impurities only from drinking water (7 l / min, 25 thousand l).
- B515-14 can be installed on a tap with hot water (15 l / min, 30 thousand liters).
- B515-13 purifies cold water of any contamination (15 l / min, 60 thousand liters).
The smallest model in this series
The model of the filter with the prefix "Mini" is only 180 mm in height. When using one cartridge with it you can clean from 15 to 30 thousand liters of water. Both versions of replaceable cleaning parts require the passage of water through them at a speed of 10 l / min.
The Aquaphor company makes only two types of cleaning modules for this model:
- B505-14 only works in thermal conditions up to 40 ° C (10 l / min, 15 thousand l).
- For model B505-13, the water temperature is not important (10 l / min, 30 thousand l).
The main advantages of the filter
Manufacturers in a special way note the following positive characteristics of the water purifier:
- The use of the latest technology that allows you to 100% rid hard water of the smallest particles of heavy metals.
- The latest silver fixation method increases the effectiveness of the filter in the fight against bacteria.
- Carbon block, which includes activated carbon, which is in the state of granules, has a high hydrophilicity. In the process of water purification, the entire volume of the purification module is involved, while in similar filters from other manufacturers, part of the filter volume may not be involved in the filtration process, because of which their effectiveness decreases sharply.
- The Aquaphor Viking is designed for cold water of any degree of pollution and temperatures above 40 ° C. The pressure practically does not affect the operation of the device, since the cartridge fibers are endowed with the ability to very quickly pass a stream of water through itself. If the water pressure decreases, then it is time to replace the cartridge.
User reviews
The metal this filter is made of has a strong influence on its price. Cartridges created using the latest technology are also not at all cheap. So is it worth paying such a high price? Does she justify herself? From the numerous reviews it can be seen that the filter actually perfectly cleans the water, relieves it of all kinds of pollution.
As for the quality of the device itself, the opinions of users diverged. Someone completely arranged the device, but someone noticed some drawbacks in it. The most common of these are:
- the process of replacing a cartridge is very inconvenient, and often it is impossible to handle one person;
- metal is prone to rust;
- the filters of the finest cleaning still reduce the pressure of the water.
It is no secret that our health and beauty largely depend on what water we use in everyday life. Cleaners of the Aquafor Viking series are able to provide you with water, devoid of any substances that should not be in it. Thus, you will never have to worry about this area of life again.
