The Aragon filter is a functional, productive and affordable system for household cleaning of cold and hot water. They are produced by the Geyser trademark since 1995. The manufacturer manufactures filtration modules based on the original ion-exchange material from the ASG polymer.
Distinctive features
If we take into account the quality of the liquid in the water taps, the Aragon filter is considered the optimal solution for use in domestic conditions. This device has the following characteristics:
- The presence of a self-indication system. Using the original models, the user does not have to independently monitor the module resource. When the pressure of the purified water decreases sharply, the filter is changed to a new similar model or regeneration is carried out.
- A variety of modifications. Depending on what quality of water flows in the plumbing system - soft, hard, glandular, choose a model.
- The presence of an anti-reset system. The manufacturer gives a guarantee that any modification will not dump the collected precipitation and impurities into purified drinking water. This is possible because a special filtration material with a complex structure is used.
- The possibility of regeneration. You can restore module data without buying a new model.
- Providing maximum water softening. The material of the filter is made to modify the structure of salts, which transform into a form that is useful for the human body.
The Aragon cartridge is made of PGS polymer, which is patented by the Geyser company. It not only has advantages, but is also considered innovative in the European and Russian markets.
Modifications
The manufacturer produces several types of filter cartridges "Aragon". Each of the models is used to purify water with specific characteristics - soft, hard, with dangerous viruses and bacteria, and so on.
"Aragon 2"
The cartridge consists of a base filter "Aragon" and an ion-exchange resin. This material is synthesized using a special technology developed by Geyser specialists. Such a combination made it possible to achieve a significant increase in the resource with respect to the neutralization of hardness salts, and to increase the efficiency of purification from iron, manganese, and heavy metals.
"Aragon 3"
It is a combination cartridge made on the basis of the ASG polymer and carbon block. The filter "Aragon 3" 3 is used for high and cold water lines and is characterized by high performance. The cartridge purifies liquid from oil products, heavy metals, chlorine and iron ions.
"Aragon J"
This is a cartridge for cleansing hard water. It eliminates iron and harmful impurities from the liquid, and, naturally, excessive hardness salts. Due to the quasi-softening effect, they are transformed into aragonite, which is natural calcium.
"Aragon M"
It is a cartridge that is made from a modification of the base material. Its purpose is to purify soft water. It removes harmful impurities from it, transforming and preserving calcium salts.
Aragon Bio
It is produced for superhard, hard and soft water. This cartridge almost completely eliminates viruses and bacteria from the liquid. This is the only cartridge on the Russian market that has a certificate according to the GOST R system, which confirms the possibility of drinking water purified using it without boiling.
Device
The Aragon filter from the Geyser consists of a collapsible flask with a replaceable filter element - a cartridge. It is fixed in the housing by a bracket with a pressure plate. The filter flask is made of high quality stainless steel. It is attached to the cover using clamps, which allows you to replace cartridges quickly and without the use of special keys. The filter has a special valve used to relieve excess pressure inside the housing. A hole is made in the lower part of the flask into which the filtered precipitate merges. The kit has a special mounting bracket. Throughout the entire period of operation, the filter does not require special maintenance, in addition to periodic regeneration and replacement.
The principle of water purification
Studies have shown that 64% of buyers opt for the Aragon filter. This is due to the fact that it has proven high efficiency. It purifies water from suspensions, viruses and impurities by 97%.
The Aragon filter is characterized by:
- ion exchange system;
- multi-stage filtration system;
- unique sorption mechanism;
- disinfection of water;
- mechanical cleaning.
The complex structure makes it possible to clean a glass of water of dirt particles and fine suspensions, organic substances and dissolved impurities, bacteria, chlorine and oil products in 45-65 seconds. With the help of silver, microorganisms are removed. Inside the cartridge "Aragon" there is a plate of silver, which neutralizes viruses and bacteria, preventing their reproduction. The effect is on filtered microorganisms.
Cartridge Regeneration
The regeneration of the Aragon filter involves a certain procedure, which involves the following manipulations:
- Thoroughly clean and replace the dispenser. The walls are cleaned with a soft brush under running water. Before using the filter again, it should be kept under running water for about 2 minutes.
- Removal of iron salts. Do washing the cartridge with a 3% solution of citric acid, and then with a solution of baking soda. Do this until the water from the unit flows clean and transparent. Soda solution is poured into the neck and left for 1 hour. Before use, the unit is washed for 5 minutes with running water. Manipulation is carried out only after mechanical cleansing.
- Elimination of hardness salts. The cartridge is soaked in a solution of water, soda and citric acid for 12 hours. Then the block is thoroughly washed under running water under pressure. The procedure lasts about 4 minutes.
After regeneration, the filter is replaced. Before you carry out all procedures, you should carefully study the instructions from the manufacturer.
Install and replace a cartridge
The Aragon water filter must be installed by a qualified technician. For this, the water supply to the installation site is shut off. The housing is secured to a mounting bracket. The device should be located in an accessible place. There should be free space below - at least 2/3 of the height of the bulb. The filter is connected to the line if you need to use special adapters that are not included. The inlet is a pipe equipped with an air separator.
Water is supplied to the filter, after which it must be ensured that there is no leakage in the connection. Water is passed through the filter for 5 minutes. If there is a leak, fix the problem. To do this, shut off the fluid supply to the filter and depressurize the air separator. Tighten the clamp connection. Water is again fed and checked for leaks. If it is again, then re-complete the complete crimping.
To change the cartridge, it is necessary to shut off the water, remove the old filter from the housing and put a new one.
Conclusion
The average operational life of the device is 10 years. The manufacturer and its regional representatives promise after-sales service. It is important to buy only original filters, then they will function for a long time and without fail. You should also entrust the installation to professionals who know all the nuances of such a job.
