The differences between water softeners and water purifiers are: different working principles, different uses, and different post-maintenance.
1. Different working principles:
1. Water purifiers actually mainly use two technologies, RO reverse osmosis technology and ultrafiltration technology. The activated carbon adsorption, PP cotton and high-purity KDF filter material in the equipment can achieve water purification and can effectively remove sediment, rust, suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, macromolecular organic matter and other harmful substances in the water.
2. Water softeners mainly use two softening technologies, ion resin exchange technology and nanocrystal technology. The principle of ion resin exchange refers to: removing calcium and magnesium ions from water through ion exchange resin, reducing water hardness, and achieving the effect of converting hard water into soft water.
2. Different uses:
1. The water purifier can effectively remove harmful substances in the water, improve the safety of domestic water, and improve the taste.
2. The water softener mainly removes calcium and magnesium ions from tap water, reduces the hardness of the water, and converts hard water into soft water. Soft water does not contain or contains less calcium and magnesium ions, and they are not easy to mix with The soap base combines to form soap scum residue.
3. Different post-maintenance:
1. From the perspective of post-maintenance, the water softener is relatively simple. It can replace the hardness ions in the resin through regenerated materials (soft water salt). This allows the water softener to continue to be used.
2. Water purifiers use a variety of filter elements. After the specific use time is reached, regular maintenance and replacement are enough.
