What is the deepest desire for each of us? Of course, this is the health of our family members and their well-being. However, in the current environmental situation, latent dangers await anyone: exhaust fumes, irrational and widespread use of plastic and polyethylene, synthetic food flavor enhancers, and permanently accumulating stress. We will show you how, without effort, you can defeat another destructive factor - the consumption of chlorinated and hard water.
Why filter the water?
Tap water is potentially dangerous if you drink it in its pure form. It contains an increased amount of chlorine, which is added for disinfection, a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions (such water is called hard) and even pathogenic bacteria.
Of course, you can use the old grandfather method and just boil water. As it turned out, this method really helps to kill some harmful microorganisms, but, for example, the spores of some fungi and botulism pathogens calmly survive this process. Also, boiling will not save you from the presence of chlorine, and the heavy elements inherent in hard water even form complex chemical compounds that can cause real harm to the body in the form of kidney stones, poisoning and metabolic disorders. Therefore, the best option to provide yourself with the most safe and delicious water is to use household filters.
Why "Barrier"?
In conditions of an accelerated rhythm of life and a constant regime of deadline and time pressure, it is also necessary to think about the fact that high-quality and healthy water is always available - an additional concern. Bottled - it may turn out to be a fake, and there is neither time nor opportunity to check it for compliance with bacteriological and chemical standards. Installing a stationary filter, which is fixed either directly in the water supply system, or simply directly connected to the tap, is another cost item in your budget. Thus, a mobile filter of the pitcher type, consisting of a reservoir and a removable cartridge, is the best option. Your responsibility will only be to monitor the life of the consumables and to replace them in a timely manner if necessary.
What to choose?
The manufacturer offers several types of "Barrier" cassettes:
- "Classic" - eliminates a high concentration of chlorine, mechanical impurities, dissolved iron particles, third-party tastes and smells.
- "Standard" - purifies water from organic and inorganic impurities of heavy metal ions.
- "Hardness" / "Hardness Iron" - maximally removes ions of heavy metals, calcium, magnesium.
- "Ultra" - filters the water coming from open sources, and eliminates unnecessary impurities up to oil products.
- Mineral - eliminates pathogenic bacteria and enriches fluoride at the same time.
- "Fluorine +" - provides saturation of water with fluoride ions to maintain the required norm, but at the same time removes chlorine and heavy metal particles.
- "Light" - an economical option, which, however, copes with the main function - purifies water from mechanical impurities and a high level of chlorine.
Decide which function is your priority, although each of them performs the minimum and basic set - from the Barrier Standard cassette to the Ultra. Moreover, at the end of the service life of one type of cartridge, you can completely purchase a consumable of another type and, thus, choose the most suitable one for yourself.
Why check the Barrier tapes for authenticity?
On the official website of the manufacturer you have the opportunity to check the cleaning element for originality. To do this, it is necessary to indicate the date of manufacture, packaging number and authentication code - all these data are indicated on the cartridge box.
Counterfeiting is dangerous because it can cause direct harm to your health. Using low-quality products will lead to the fact that you will use untreated water containing all heavy impurities. But it may also happen that an uncertified cartridge will contain elements that threaten the body. Therefore, always purchase Barrier cassettes at proven points of sale. In case of detection of a fake, notify about it by phone indicated on the official website in the authentication section.
How often to change? Terms of use and disposal of removable cartridge "Barrier"
Filters of newer models are equipped with a special electronic indicator that will remind you of the need to replace the cartridge, whose service life depends on the degree of exhaustion of the resource.
But the manufacturer also took care of more economical models. You can register on the official website and indicate in a special form the date of installation of the cartridge for the "Barrier" filter and its type, and three days before the end of the estimated useful life you will receive a corresponding reminder.
Timely replacement of the cartridge is an important condition for you and your family members to receive high-quality and purified water.
The Barrier cassettes are made of safe and certified material and do not require special disposal conditions - a fairly standard procedure is applicable to municipal solid waste.
