Hey everyone looking for a water purifier! Just search "water purifier" and you're bombarded with terms like pre-filter, RO reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration... Are you overwhelmed? Don't worry, today, INTOPAQUA Factory will explain in plain English: Choosing a water purifier isn't that complicated. Just identify the right application and choose the right one! After all, we've been making water purifiers for so many years, we know exactly which machine is best for each application!

First, understand: Why is it important to "consider the application" when choosing a water purifier?

Let's take a simple example: You can't install a large, industrial-grade water purifier in your kitchen, right? Not only would it take up space, it would also be a waste of money. Conversely, if a restaurant kitchen used a small, household-grade model, the filtration speed would be as slow as a snail, hindering business and causing significant losses.

A water purifier is like a shoe: sneakers are for running, high heels are for dating. Choosing the right one will maximize its effectiveness. Next, we will divide the two scenarios into home and commercial, and clearly list the "compatibility list" of different water purifiers!

Home scenario: Different needs, corresponding to different "water treatment artifacts"

The key to choosing a water purifier at home is to see what problem you want to solve - are you worried about pipe blockage, or do you want to drink directly, or make milk powder for your baby? Let's talk about them one by one:

Worried about pipe blockage and home appliance failure?

Choose a "pre-filter" If you live in an old residential area, or the water quality is full of mud, sand, and rust, then the pre-filter is the "first line of defense." It is installed at the main inlet of the water pipe, like a "gatekeeper", blocking all large particles of impurities and preventing them from entering the washing machine, water heater, and wall-mounted boiler to "cause damage." Our INTOPAQUA pre-filter also has an automatic flushing function, so you don't have to remove it manually to clean it, which is very troublesome. It is suitable for all families, especially those in places with hard water and many impurities. Installing one can extend the life of home appliances and save a lot of money on subsequent home appliance repairs!

Want to drink drinking water?

Choose a "RO reverse osmosis water purifier." If your child wants to drink water directly when making milk powder or making coffee, then a RO reverse osmosis water purifier is a "must-have." Its filter membrane is so fine that it can block bacteria, heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), and even scale. The water that comes out tastes just like bottled water. Our RO water purifier also has a "tankless design" that does not take up cabinet space under the kitchen. It can be drunk immediately after filtering, and there is no problem of water changing taste after being stored for a long time. It is suitable for families with elderly people, children, or families with high requirements for drinking water safety. It is convenient and safe to drink a glass of cold water in the morning.

The water quality is good, but you just want to filter out impurities?

Choose an "ultrafiltration water purifier." If your water quality is good, and you just want to filter out some mud, sand, and colloids, and reduce the scale after boiling, then an ultrafiltration water purifier is enough. It has a fast filtration speed, does not require electricity, does not waste water, and is very cost-effective.

However, please note: ultrafiltration water purifiers cannot filter out heavy metals, so if your home water quality test shows that heavy metals exceed the standard, you should still choose RO models. Our INTOPAQUA ultrafiltration machine is small in size and can be installed under the kitchen sink without taking up space. It is suitable for renters and small families, and can be done on a limited budget.

Want soft water for the whole house? Choose a "water softener"

If your skin is always dry and your hair is rough when you take a shower, and the clothes washed by the washing machine are hard, it is likely that the water quality is too hard (too much scale). In this case, you need a water softener. It can replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water, making the water "soft".

When you take a shower with soft water, your skin will feel smooth and you will even save on shower gel; your clothes will not wrinkle easily, and it can also protect the inner tank of the washing machine. Our factory's water softener can also adjust the softening degree, and flexibly adjust it according to your home water quality. For those in the south with hard water quality, installing one will make you feel happier!

Commercial scenarios: Different industries have their own "water treatment solutions"

Commercial scenarios are more complicated than home use. For example, restaurants need to purify a large amount of water, and factories need to treat industrial wastewater. The needs are different, so water purifiers also need to be "tailor-made". Let's talk about a few common ones:

Catering industry (restaurants, cafes, milk tea shops): Choose "commercial RO water purifier + central water purifier"

The restaurant kitchen needs to wash vegetables and dishes, and also make drinks, so the water quality requirements are very high. If you use water with a lot of impurities, the washed vegetables will have a strange smell, and the milk tea will taste bad. At this time, you have to install a commercial RO water purifier, which has a large water output and can meet the water demand during peak hours; then match it with a central water purifier to filter the water used in the whole house, so that even the water used to wash dishes and vegetables is clean.​

Office scenario (company, office building): Choose "direct drinking machine + pre-filter" ​

Employees in the company can't carry bottled water every day, right? It's expensive, takes up space, and there's also the worry of bacteria in the barrels. Install a commercial direct drinking machine with a pre-filter. It first blocks impurities and then deep filters. Employees don't have to wait to get water. You can choose hot or cold water. You can drink ice water in the summer and warm water in the winter. It's super convenient. ​

Our factory's office direct drinking machine can also connect to WiFi, allowing you to remotely check the filter cartridge life. The administrative lady doesn't have to check it every day, which saves a lot of trouble. It's suitable for companies with more than 20 people. It's much more cost-effective than drinking bottled water.

Industrial scenarios (factories, workshops): Choose "industrial-grade reverse osmosis/ultrafiltration system"

Some factories, such as electronics factories and food processing plants, require pure water for production. If the water quality does not meet the standards, it will affect the quality of the products. In this case, you need to use an industrial-grade large-flow water purifier. Our INTOPAQUA can customize a complete set of water purification systems based on the factory's water consumption and water quality requirements. It has high filtration accuracy and can also recycle water, helping the factory save water and money.

For example, if a food factory makes beverages, using our industrial RO system, the filtered water meets food-grade standards, the produced beverages have a stable taste, and the customer repurchase rate is high!
