Barrier jug ​​filters: types and subtleties of choice

No human day can do without clean drinking water. Drinking water straight from the tap is unwise. After all, water must be clean in order to bring only benefit to our body. It is not always possible to install a water filter under the sink, it is much more affordable to purchase a filter jug.

The filter jug ​​is a compact and modern item that is necessary for the purification of drinking water. It is presented in the form of a transparent container, inside of which there is a cartridge responsible for water purification. As a rule, cartridges are replaceable. The price of such pitchers is quite budget, which attracts many modern consumers. Such a thing in the kitchen is a long time ago for many.

Before you buy a filter jug ​​for yourself and your family, you need to know all its advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, the cleaning device of this type does not take up much space in the kitchen and looks quite harmonious in any interior. Moreover, modern manufacturers produce such filters-jugs of various colors and shades. In addition, they differ in volume. It can be a device with a capacity of one and a half to four liters.

It is easy to use such a jug, as it is convenient and practical. Many models are equipped with a special rubber ring, which is located on the bottom of the device, which does not allow the jug to slide even from a slippery surface. Pouring water from such a device is easy, since they are all equipped with a watering can. Filling the water in the filter jug ​​is also not difficult. Some models have a special valve, while others simply remove the lid, which makes it easy to fill the water.

Like any device, the jug filter also has its small flaws. Such an object for water purification is not suitable for every family. If there are many people in a family, then the volume of such a jug is not enough.Another disadvantage is that such devices require frequent replacement of cartridges, especially if the water from the tap is of poor quality.

If used improperly, namely if the jug will stand on the sunny side of the kitchen, the water will very quickly begin to “bloom”. You can avoid this. It is enough that the jug will always be in the shade, in a cooler place. And also to the minuses, you can add the fact that often because of the poor quality of water from the tap, jugs start to grow turbid, a “ring” of salt deposits appears. As a result, such devices need regular and proper cleaning.

The filter jar "Barrier" is a guarantee of clean water in the house. The company offers the modern consumer a wide variety of models and varieties. Water purifier comes in various shapes and configurations. The shape of the tank itself, the smoothness of the lines and the jug of the jug differ. There are so convenient and compact forms of the jug that they easily fit even in the door compartment of the refrigerator, which is convenient and relevant in the hot season.

Handles of jugs also differ in shape, some are equipped with special linings, thanks to which it will be much more convenient to hold the device. In addition, some devices are equipped with a special lining that does not allow the jug to slide on the table. The design of the funnels for some models is also different. For example, there are models whose funnel is designed in such a way that even when water is poured, the lid will not fall out. And there are models, the funnel of which is made so that the water will always be reliably protected from dust.

In addition, some models are distinguished by the presence of a special indicator-calendar, which allows you to know in time about the degree of contamination of the filter. By the way, the models have different filters too. The most popular models are equipped with a special filtration system, in which even ion-exchange material is present, it saturates water with useful properties. Despite all its varieties, cleaning in all models takes place at the proper level, and the water will delight with its purity and taste.

By purchasing a device for water purification, you can find replaceable cartridges “Classic” or “Standard” in the set. As a rule, each manufacturer produces its own filters, which are always easy to purchase additionally. But it happens that the cassette that comes with the jug of a particular model is not always suitable for cleaning the water that flows from the tap in the house. In this case, you can easily choose a different type of cassettes. Moreover, this brand provides a wide range of replacement filters.

Separately, it is worth mentioning that the company "Barrier" produces replacement filters, taking into account all the features of water that flows from the taps of various Russian cities. Take into account the degree of contamination of water, its hardness and the presence of various impurities. Standard cartridges, which are produced under the name "Classic" and "Standard", easily purify water from chlorine, iron and other heavy metals. Cartridge "Barrier-4", which often comes bundled with different models, also has the above qualities.In addition, such a cartridge still purifies water from pesticides and removes surfactants.

Fluorine + can not only purify water, but also fills it with useful fluorine. This cartridge contains a special substance that is easily soluble in water, compensating for the lack of fluoride in drinking water. If there is too hard water in the house, then experts recommend purchasing a “Hardness” or “Hardness iron” tape, they will not only soften the water, but also quickly and effectively clean it from inorganic iron. And also there is an “Ultra” cartridge capable of purifying even that water that has not been processed by a standard plumbing system. This filter purifies water from various types of bacteria and harmful microorganisms.

Replaceable cassette "Mineral" differs from others in that it is equipped with a special coconut activated carbon, which was previously processed with silver. This allows the filter to fight bacteria and prevent them from growing in water. Replaceable cassette "Mineral" saturates water with minerals such as fluorine, calcium and magnesium that are useful for human health. The manufacturer of this brand recommends changing the cassettes at least once a month.Of course, it all depends on the regularity of the use of the jug and the degree of contamination of the water. It happens that a replaceable cassette is enough for three months. Usually one such cartridge is designed for processing 200–300 liters of water.

In order not to get confused among the variety of models, below is a small overview of the most popular filter jars from the "Barrier".

Smart is one of the modern models, the volume of which is almost three and a half liters. The model is available in different colors and has a very budget price, due to which it is in demand. In addition, consumers note the presence of a convenient funnel, the design of which allows you to pour clean water, even if complete filtration is not yet complete. It is easy to fill the tank with water and you do not need to remove the lid, which is very convenient. We should also mention the presence of a mechanical indicator, which will remind you in time that the cassette needs to be replaced.

Smart Opti-Light is an advanced version of the Smart model. This model also has a volume of 3.3 liters and is distinguished by a budget price. The main difference of the model is the presence of a special LED-indicator, which will remind about the filter pollution. The rest of the model is similar to the above-described filter-jug.

The funnel of this model is designed in such a way that any ingress of dust or dirt is excluded. The funnel opens automatically the moment the pitcher tilts.

Grand and Grand Neo models are quite budget models that receive a lot of positive feedback from modern consumers. Like all models, they are made of high quality and safe plastic. The first model is produced in four liters, and the second - more than four liters. Both models are equipped with automatic opening funnels.

The Twist model is presented in various bright colors and differs in large volume - four liters. The device is equipped with a practical and convenient handle, a lid that allows you to conveniently use the jug.

The main selection criterion in the case of a filter jug ​​is its volume. For a small family of two, it will be enough to buy a jug with a volume of up to two liters. This is if you plan to only drink clean water, and not to use it for brewing tea, cooking soup. In this case, two liters will not be enough. For more people, you can choose a four-liter jug. It should be borne in mind that the larger the volume, the harder the reservoir itself will be. Children and the elderly will not be comfortable using such a jug, as it is heavy when filled.

When choosing a jug with a large volume, it is worth paying attention to the handle. It is best to choose a cast, as it is excellent in weight. In addition, it should be remembered that it is recommended to use purified water within the next twelve hours. If the cleaning device has a large volume, but water will not be used often, it will start to stagnate, which will affect its taste and quality. Choosing a compact cleaning device among a wide variety of models, you should pay attention to the jugs with an indicator that indicate the degree of contamination of the cassette. Thanks to this additional feature, you can always know when to replace the cassette for water purification. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the design of the jug-filter. The devices from “Barrier” are pleasing with their diversity, thanks to which it will be possible to choose a model that will perfectly harmonize with the overall interior of the kitchen.
