Titanium water filters: technical characteristics and features of use

Currently, household filters for water purification are rapidly gaining popularity. This is a convenient and practical way to take care of your health and well-being of the household. Water delivered to homes and apartments through the central water supply system has many dangerous impurities and bacteria, and its quality directly affects the overall condition of the body. In the article we will dwell on such a device as a titanium water purifier.

Titanium, which is the main filter elements of this type, is actively used in the industrial field.Metal has found its use in pharmaceuticals, dentistry, production of printing inks. All due to the special characteristics - a high degree of bactericidal.

As soon as experts discovered this ability, titanium began to be actively used in food production. Using filters, water was prepared for the manufacture of products. Due to the development of the technological sphere, such a filtration system is widely used at present.

Another positive characteristic is the absence of toxicity. If small particles of metal enter the body, their appearance will not lead to deviations and other violations. Due to the easy processing of the material can be made thin, but at the same time, strong elements, such as filters.

The metal used for filtration is lightweight. And it is also chemically amorphous with respect to many acids and alkalis (the exceptions are concentrated sulfuric andhydrofluoric acid).

For the manufacture of cartridges began to use material relatively recently. This element retains small particles of manganese and silicon, cleaning the liquid entering the filter device. Also, the metal reacts with iron, which is saturated with tap water. It destroys oxides, cleansing the liquid from excess impurities.

Due to the special properties of the metal significantly reduces the number of microorganisms and the simplest bacteria in the water. Small pores provide reliable filtration. Their size is 0.8 microns smaller than the size of most varieties of bacteria. After passing through the device, the microbial amount of water was equal to the official standards - 0.

Another titanium brightens the water. Depending on the efficiency, the liquid may become transparent or crystal clear. This feature is very important when purifying water with sand and other similar elements.

Like a standard main filter, the device is synchronized with the water supply of a residential building. The task of the device is the preparation and fine cleaning of the liquid. The titanium filter is not used to clean unprepared water, so it passes through a metal wash.

In water, even after pretreatment, many small impurities remain.which freely pass through large openings in the membranes. According to experts, the liquid can already be consumed for nutritional purposes; however, treatment with a titanium filter will significantly improve its quality.

The filter of this type works by analogy with other common models, but a titanium module of cylindrical shape is used as a washing element. The case of most models is made of durable and wear-resistant plastic, applied to the metal by sintering.

Each cleaning cartridge has an active form of titanium, which is firmly bound to the liquid during its passage through the device. This principle of operation ensures the absorption of atoms and molecules of pollutants. In the process of use in the filter accumulates sediment, washed out of the housing. After washing, the cleaning ability of the device is restored.

To learn more about this type of cleaner, you need to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of titanium main filtration.

The positive aspects of titanium cleaners include a number of properties.

• Easy cleaning. This characteristic has played an important role in the use of filters in the domestic sphere. For full operation of the device, it is enough to clean it at least once a year. The frequency depends on the degree of contamination. With prolonged and significant loads, it is recommended to clean the device every six months. If you notice that the water pressure has started to fall, it may be a signal that the filter is dirty.
• The durability of the cartridge and the device. Long service life - one of the main advantages of titanium. This characteristic has also been transferred to filter models that use metal as a cartridge.

• The destruction of iron. Tap water is usually supersaturated with a large amount of iron. These impurities adversely affect the overall condition of the body. Titanium filter will help purify water by destroying harmful impurities.
• Organoleptic properties.This type of cleaner will significantly improve the organoleptic properties of water, such as transparency, smell, color, flavor, and more. For excellent results, be sure to follow the instructions for use of the device.

Unfortunately, it was not without drawbacks.

• Cost The price of cleaning devices of this type exceeds the cost of similar models. In most cases, devices need special equipment for the highway, and these are additional costs.
• Amorphous Due to the low activity of titanium and large size elements such as alkali and acids, practicality completely pass through the filter. To cope with this shortcoming, experts recommend the use of additional catalysts.
• Rigidity. Even with the use of high-performance mainstream filtration, the water hardness will remain unchanged. In this case, you can not do without catalytic main cleaners. These devices make the liquid softer by increasing the potassium and sodium molecules.

The special principle of operation of the device provides a simple and easy care, which consists of two aspects.

• Regardless of the model, manufacturers have placed a drain cock at the bottom of the case. The device is cleaned in two ways, depending on the type of filter: manual method (sediment that remains during operation, washed with running water) and installing a special tube (it washes out all the excess back to the main line).
• Titanium filters are considered reusable. Also, the device is several times higher than the standard washing cleaners on the use of the resource. The usual model of titanium cleaner can handle at least 300 thousand liters, while the expensive options are designed for about 500 thousand liters of water. This effect is ensured by the restoration of the titanium mesh.

The process of regeneration of the cleaning module of the device is an important aspect of the care and operation of the device. Recovery of this element should be carried out when the fine pores of the filter are completely clogged. Experts say that physical cleaning is not strongly recommended: despite the strength and strength of titanium, it can be easily damaged by negligence.

Step by step work:

• Before starting, you should choose a tank that fits the size of the titanium cylinder;
• the device must be disassembled, carefully separating the elements from each other;
• sealing caps are removed;
• the cleaning element is carefully removed;
• citric acid solution (10%) is used for cleaning;
• the cleaning element is washed and lowered into the solution for at least 24 hours;
• after a day, it must again be treated with running water;
• The filter can be mounted into the housing immediately after flushing, while at the same time - do not forget about the order of assembly of the device.

Automatic flushing is also possible. Practically all filters with a titanium membrane have such a function. From time to time the element is supplied with water pressure. Liquid flushes all accumulated contaminants back into the pipeline.

The modern market offers many models of titanium filters from domestic and foreign manufacturers.Among the rich range of leaders in the Russian market keeps the brand Titanof. The company offers customers high quality products. Each product unit meets high state standards.

Filters Titanof are actively used in the food sector and pharmacologists. In the trademark catalog, each client will find a suitable option for home use.

For the manufacture of cases used durable metal alloy. This feature improves the practicality and durability of the device. The filter will clear water of harmful bacteria, a scum and heavy elements. The manufacturer is engaged in the manufacture of titanium mesh to order with reduced holes. Standard cleaning accuracy is 0.8 microns.

On the Internet, collected a lot of reviews related to titanium filters for water purification. Opinions about the efficiency and convenience of devices are divided. Most of the feedbacks left are positive and make up about 70%. Among the positive qualities of such parties: ease of use and installation, durability, effective cleaning, safety.Some buyers did not find any flaws in use.

Negative reviews indicate that titanium filters are ineffective and do not give the expected effect. Among the minuses also indicated the high cost, the inconvenience of the design and rapid clogging. Responses on thematic sites are left by both specialists and ordinary users.
