Features and advantages of filters "Barrier" Expert Standard

The quality of water from the tap in modern apartments leaves much to be desired. It often contains chemical impurities and microbial contaminants that appear due to deterioration of the water supply system. The use of this fluid leads to poor health, reduced immunity, exacerbation of chronic diseases. To cope with the problem of dirty water, it is recommended to use the Expert Standard Barrier filter. This device is designed for 24-hour efficient operation.

Special features

Filter "Barrier" Expert Standard - used in everyday life equipment designed to cleanse the liquid from mechanical impurities, chlorine and heavy metals. Due to complex cleaning at the outlet, high quality of water is ensured: it becomes transparent, without foreign smells and harmful inclusions.

Water treatment system is designed for installation under the sink in the apartment, private house or cottage building. The device is fixed to the inner surface of the cabinet with screws.

The standard set includes the following components:

  • block for fixing the filter elements;
  • set of interchangeable cassettes;
  • crane with the necessary components for its installation;
  • tubes;
  • ball valve for connection to the water supply system;
  • screws for mounting the system.

The installation has a unique design of the housing, thanks to which it is possible to turn the filter element to the optimum position for convenient replacement of the old cartridge with a new one.

Principle of operation

"Barrier" Expert Standard refers to the absorption types of devices. This means that its cartridge is capable of absorbing contaminating components from a liquid.

To increase the process of water purification, the manufacturer has provided several stages of purification.

  1. Removal of mechanical impurities. High-quality polypropylene filter elements trap silt, particles of rust, sand, soil and other insoluble impurities, whose size exceeds 5 microns.
  2. Removal of heavy metal salts, elimination of water hardness.Purification from harmful impurities occurs due to the action of ion exchange substances in the cartridge.
  3. Final cleansing. The active ingredient of the third cartridge is activated carbon in granules, treated with silver ions. Allows you to eliminate odors due to the removal of chlorine-containing components.

The result of the use of water purifiers "Barrier" - clean and fresh water, devoid of harmful impurities.

Specifications

The three-stage filter for water "Barrier" Expert Standard is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of GOST 31952-2012, which indicates its high efficiency.

Main technical parameters of the water purifier:

  • three-stage tertiary treatment system;
  • the maximum possible pressure reading on a pipe cut up to 7 atm;
  • temperature of the supplied liquid is 5-35 degrees;
  • installation capacity not more than two liters per minute;
  • cleaner weight 5.5 kg.

According to the manufacturer, the operating life of the three cartridges that are included in the installation package is 10 thousand liters. The actual lifetime of the system can be much lower. The durability of the cartridges will directly depend on the level of water hardness and on the operating conditions. For example, the life of the cartridges will be significantly reduced when filtering excessively hard water.

The following Standard Filter Elements are used for the Expert Standard Barrier Cleaning System:

  • Mechanics;
  • ion exchange;
  • postcarbon.

      If the cartridges have worked their life, they can not be replaced by other types of filter elements, because the use of other cleaners can lead to poor filtration of the liquid.

      Advantages and disadvantages

      Expert Barrier is chosen by tens of thousands of Russian users.

      Consumers prefer this particular product due to its merits.

      1. Favorable cost. Goods are in the middle price segment, due to which they are available to each of the segments of the population.
      2. Highly effective cleaning fluid. Filter elements are able to catch various contaminants even when the norm is exceeded by 5 times. However, because of this, the life of the cartridges will be reduced.
      3. Easy installation. It is possible to install the water purification system with one's own hands, without resorting to the help of a hired craftsman. Included with the filter is everything you need for its installation. Due to the complete set, it is possible to install the system immediately after purchase without purchasing additional components.
      4. Resistant to water hammer.
      5. Compactness.The filtering system, due to its small size, does not take up much space under the sink or on the wall.
      6. Increased safety against leakage.

      However, this type of three-stage water purifier has some drawbacks. These include the lack of a resource indicator, which is why there is a high risk of poor water treatment when the cartridges are prematurely worn. To avoid this, experts recommend replacing old filter elements with new ones after 2/3 of the service life declared by the manufacturer. And also the disadvantages include low plant performance. In general, the “Barrier” Expert Standard is one of the best solutions for a small family.

      Installation details

      Before installing the system, it is necessary to inspect the place for fixing the device: there should be enough free space for unimpeded maintenance of the water purifier. Work should begin with pressure relief in the water supply system. To do this, open the tap, then shut off the water supply.

      Installation of the filter is carried out in a certain sequence.

      1. A hole is made at the top of the sink for mounting the tap.For these purposes, it is recommended to use a drill and a drill (diameter 12 mm).
      2. A rubber gasket is put on the crane, after which it is inserted into the prepared hole. The installation is secured with a nut.
      3. Next, you need to fix the fitting.
      4. The next step is to unscrew the cold water supply hose from the corresponding water supply pipe. After that, you need to install the ball valve and mount the pipe in place.
      5. Next, you need to place a pre-prepared template to the installation site of the system. It is important to consider the length of the underwater and branch pipes (100 cm), as well as the distance from the base to the place of installation (not less than 330 mm).
      6. After selecting the installation location, the system case is mounted. For fixing screws are used.
      7. The valve nut is unscrewed and screwed onto the plastic pipe.
      8. One end of the tube is clamped, and the other is inserted into the body.
      9. The case is connected to the water supply and tap.
      10. Installing removable filter elements.

      After the above steps, you need to make sure that there are no leaks. To do this, open the valve and supply water. If there are leaks, re-tighten the washers.

      It is important to know that before drinking water you should wash the filter elements by draining the liquid (at least 20 liters). Initially, its color may be cloudy - this is permissible. When using the filter you should not make the pressure too big. Experts recommend adjusting the pressure so that 200 ml of water is collected in about 8 seconds.

      Recommendations for use

      In order for water purifiers to serve for a long time and at the same time to effectively cope with their task, it is necessary to study a few simple tips.

      1. Use the device only for filtering cold liquid. The filter is not recommended for cleaning hot water, as this may adversely affect the operation of the ion exchanger.
      2. Plastic components should be protected from falls, shock and other mechanical influences.
      3. Tubes must not be bent or stretched.
      4. Do not allow parts of the water purifier to contact the hot water supply pipe.
      5. Freezing of liquid in the cartridges and flasks of the device should be avoided.
      6. In the absence of the need to use the filter, it is necessary to close the valve to it.If such a break is made, before using the cleaner should drain the water (at least 10 minutes).

      If the quality of the filtered water has decreased: it has begun to have a foreign taste or color, you must immediately change the cartridges.
