The quality and purity of tap water do not always meet the requirements of people who monitor their health. It should be noted that initially, when supplied, water is relatively safe. The main problem lies in the pipelines, which in most settlements are subject to replacement. It is during transportation through old, rusted pipes that a pollution process takes place. Therefore, low-quality, and sometimes not entirely safe water gets into houses, apartments, and offices. Not only its composition is changing, but also its taste, color, smell. In the liquid from the tap, you can find viruses, bacteria and an overabundance of certain trace elements.
Constantly buying pumps with clean spring water is not a cheap pleasure. In addition, the market has many fakes. Not surprisingly, tap water filtration devices are so popular.
What is the “Barrier Standard”?
The Barrier filter is one of the market leaders. The filter model "Standard" is most in demand. It perfectly combines price and quality.
The filter for cleaning running water is installed directly in the supply system. You can use it in an office, private house, apartment, or in any other place where tap water is used for drinking. After installing the filter, purified and usable water flows from the tap.
Cartridges
The device does not consist of one, but of three main modules. Thanks to this, the treatment is multistage, that is, deeper. Each module does its job:
- Cartridge "Barrier Standard" No. 1. Its function is mechanical cleaning. It eliminates pollution visible to the eye: sand, rust and other small particles that enter the water from the pipes during transportation. The first cartridge does the most important job. After this filtration, the water becomes much cleaner, but it is not recommended to use it for drinking or cooking.
- Cartridge number 2. This is where ion exchange occurs. Water is purified from heavy metals (lead, copper and others), if they are present in the composition.
- Cartridge number 3. It carries out the final stage of cleaning. Tap water is purified from chlorine, as well as from other organic compounds.
This integrated approach allows you to get the most pure and safe water without unpleasant tastes and odors. It can be drunk by adults and children, cook food with it, used for washing dishes, washing, hygiene procedures and more.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of the Barrier Standard filter include:
- low cost (from 2900 rubles);
- compact dimensions (which allows you to install it under the sink or against the wall);
- the possibility of self-installation without involving the services of relevant specialists (the set contains instructions with a detailed description of the process).
The disadvantages include the fact that the system is considered budgetary, that is, designed specifically for domestic use (in residential buildings, apartments, cottages). Of course, that for some large-scale production, where maximum purification of water in large volumes is required, such a filter will not work. Its capacity and productivity is simply not enough to service the whole enterprise.
How long can I use the Barrier Standard?
Do not forget that the filters have their own life, which is determined not by time, but by the amount of purified water. The maximum volume is 10,000 liters.
Over time, the quality of cleaning decreases, and the filters must be replaced. The procedure is not difficult and is performed independently. Additional modules and cartridges can be purchased at a hardware store or ordered online.
"Barrier Standard" is a budget but effective filter for high-quality purification of tap water of any degree of pollution.
