What is a pre-filter?

A pre-filter is a water treatment device installed on the main water supply pipeline of a home or commercial building, designed to remove large impurities, sediment, rust and other solid pollutants from the water. It is the first line of defense of the water treatment system, protecting subsequent filtration equipment and household appliances from damage, ensuring the smooth operation of the water supply system and the improvement of water quality.

 

How the pre-filter works:

The pre-filter usually consists of a filter cartridge and filter screen. When tap water passes through the filter, large impurities in the water will be intercepted by the filter, and only relatively clean water will flow into the subsequent filtration system. This not only extends the service life of subsequent filtration equipment, but also increases the efficiency of the entire water treatment system.

 

Why choose a pre-filter?

1. Protect equipment: The pre-filter can remove large particulate matter from the water and protect subsequent water treatment equipment such as water softeners, activated carbon filters and reverse osmosis systems from wear and blockage.

2. Improve water quality: By removing impurities such as sediment and rust, pre-filters can significantly improve the quality of water supply, making the water cleaner and safer.

3. Extend the life of equipment: effectively reduce the wear and tear of impurities on household appliances and pipes, and extend the service life of water heaters, washing machines and other appliances.

4. Reduce maintenance costs: Reduce equipment failures and cleaning needs, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

 

How to choose the right pre-filter?

The following factors should be considered when selecting a pre-filter:

1. Filtration precision: Choose the appropriate filtration precision according to home or commercial use. Generally speaking, a filtration precision of 50 microns to 100 microns can effectively remove most particulate matter.

2. Material and durability: Choose corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or high-quality plastic, to ensure the long-term service life of the filter.

3. Flow and pressure loss: Ensure that the selected filter can meet the water flow needs of the home or commercial building, and that the pressure loss is small to ensure stable water supply.

4. Cleaning and maintenance: Choose a filter with a self-cleaning function or one that is easy to disassemble and clean to reduce maintenance workload.

 

Pre-filter use and maintenance:

1. Regular inspection: Regularly check the operating condition of the filter to ensure that the filter screen is not blocked or damaged.

2. Clean the filter: According to the water quality and frequency of use, clean or replace the filter regularly to maintain the filtering effect.

3. Monitor water pressure: Check the water pressure changes before and after the filter. If the pressure difference is too large, you may need to clean the filter or check whether the filter is operating normally.

 

Summarize:

Pre-filter is an important equipment to ensure the quality of domestic and commercial water. Choosing a suitable pre-filter and performing correct maintenance can effectively protect subsequent filtration equipment and household appliances, extend their service life, and improve the efficiency of the water supply system.
