"Aquaphor" or "Geyser": which water filter is better to choose?

The quality of water consumed has a direct impact on human health. According to research, about 80% of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract occurs as a result of the use of contaminated water. The liquid entering homes and apartments in the water supply system is not suitable for drinking without additional treatment. To cope with this problem help household filters, produced by modern manufacturers in a wide range.

On the domestic market, the leading positions are occupied by the Akvafor and Geyser trademarks. Compare the two manufacturers and determine which products will be the best.

When evaluating goods from leading manufacturers, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

• the versatility of the range of cleaning equipment;
• availability of innovative developments and scientific base;
• easy operation and maintenance;
• compatibility and interchangeability of individual elements (replaceable cartridges);
• appearance;
• warranty from the manufacturer.

All commercially available filters differ from each other in sets of characteristics: size, functionality, productivity, cost, appearance, etc. The cleaning equipment segment includes a wide range of products from ordinary mobile jugs to main filters. Also included in this category are osmosis systems, water treatment plants, flow filters. Consider the two most widely used and popular varieties.

The easiest and most profitable way to purify water at home is to purchase a filter jug. It is allowed to use the device only for running tap water, which has undergone preliminary training carried out by city stations.

Using such devices is very simple. It is enough to pour liquid into a special compartment and wait until it passes through the filter cartridge. From time to time the filter must be changed (depending on the resource of this element). Filter life also depends on the hardness and degree of water contamination.

To date, the brand represents 17 models of this type (“Provence A5”, “Real”, “Premium”, “Ideal”, “Smile”, “Art”, “Harry”, “Country”, “Prestige”, “Gratis” , "Agat", "Ultra", "Ideal" with the module A100, "Line", "Triumph", "Standard", "Atlant"). The minimum volume of the funnel - less than one liter, the maximum - about two liters. Models also differ in shape, size and color.

The catalog of jugs from this manufacturer is much more modest. It has only 6 models ("Hercules", "Matisse", "Aquarius", "Dolphin", "Vega" and "Mini"). Filter capacity varies from 2.5 to 4 liters. A feature of the brand’s products is the completion of individual variants with electronic or mechanical calendars, which remind of the need to replace the replacement cleaning element in time.

These are stationary models designed to purify drinking water.Each manufacturer offers a wide range of flow-through filters. Most often they are installed in the kitchen, placing under the sink. The most common type of flow filter is called the "troika". Devices received this name because of the design that combines the three cartridges. Also on sale there are classic models with one module and improved versions.

The brand product catalog will surprise you with an abundance of models even for the most demanding customers. In this segment you will find options equipped with one, two, three and four filters. The section includes the following items: DWM-101S Morior, “Crystal Eco”, DWM-201, DWM-102S Morior, “Crystal Eco N”, DWM-70, “Crystal”, “Crystal A”, “Trio”, “Crystal N "," Trio Norma ", DWM-31," Crystal-Quadro "," Trio Softening "," Crystal-Quadro B "," Crystal-Quadro NV "," Trio Fe "," Trio Norma Softening "," Trio Fe N ”,“ Crystal-Quadro N ”,“ Crystal-Quadro 2H ”,“ Crystal Solo ”,“ Favorite ”,“ Favorite Softening ”.

This brand offers few similar options. In the range there are only 6 devices, each of which is equipped with a triple filter: "Standard", "Classic", "Max", "Geyser-3", "Bio", "Ultra Bio", "Eco". The devices purify water not only from heavy metals, iron, chlorine, salts, but also from harmful microbes and viruses. Today filters of this type are in the greatest demand among clients of a brand.

Completion of each model depends on pollution and the quality of the cleaned fluid. Both manufacturers offer customers products for hard, salty, ferrous water. At this point, also worth paying attention to when choosing.

To remain in the lead, it is necessary to develop and introduce new technologies into production. The specialists of the companies have developed a number of original and functional concepts used in the manufacture of filters.

TM "Geyser":

• carbon fiber type IIM;
• FE cartridges, disruptor;
• special solution "Aquasoft";
• cleaning polymer "Aragon";
• effective cartridge BAF;
• special polypropylenes of variable porosity.

TM "Aquaphor":

• hollow fiber membranes;
• carbfiber block;
• cleaning elements for complex high-temperature water treatment;
• water tank;
• water purification technology "Aqualen".

This feature is especially important for flow devices. The products of the Aquaphor trademark are more convenient in terms of changing the cleaning cartridges. This is due to the special design of most models, due to which the replacement of the element takes less than a minute.

When working with products from the brand "Geyser" will have to spend some time. To replace, it is necessary to remove the flask, drain the liquid, rinse the container and, after installing the new cartridge, return all the elements in place. It is also important to remember to check the connection reliability and tightness.

In order to provide users with the possibility of a practical change of cleaning modules, many companies adhere to standard sizes and methods of attaching cleaning cartridges. Using systems from one manufacturer, you can purchase replacement parts from a different brand.This aspect is especially useful when the client is unable to find a suitable element. This policy is followed by the brand "Geyser".

With the production company TM "Aquaphor" things are different. Despite the fact that there are several products with standard dimensions, most models are designed exclusively for the original equipment. The difficulty lies in the fact that the right cartridge may simply not be on sale at the right time.

For each unit of production, both manufacturers give a guarantee. The stated service life differs depending on the brand and filter model. Most of the products from the company "Aquaphor" is guaranteed for one year. The competitor manufacturer provides a warranty from 3 to 5 years. At observance of all rules of operation the real period of service of products is much more declared.

To select the appropriate filter, you need to take stock, comparing all the strengths and weaknesses of the products of each company.

The brand attracts the attention of a rich assortment. The catalog is replete with a variety of colors.Also, the manufacturer is pleased with the choice of control systems for contamination of cartridges. The main advantage of the brand is innovative and efficient cleaning systems that work automatically without user intervention.

Many filters are inferior to competitors in terms of service life. The disadvantage associated with reduced resource concerns main installations and flow-through cleaning systems.

The main advantage of the products of this brand is excellent throughput. The company produces filters with a performance rating of 3 liters per minute. To make the purified water as close as possible to natural water, the company uses special technologies.

According to experts, the insufficiently rich assortment prevents the brand from expanding the market. Products are successful in the industrial sector, but not too popular in the consumer segment.
