whole house water filtration system<\/strong><\/a>, not an under sink water filter that only treats water for a single faucet.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis customer\u2019s request just perfectly confirmed one of my recent observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although municipal tap water is generally much cleaner than natural well water, its quality can still be affected during distribution and storage, thus, there are\u00a0more and more urban customers choosing ultrafiltration water filters for household water filtration system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a filtration rating of 0.1 microns, the filtration rate of a ultrafiltration water filter is 400 times finer than a traditional 40\u03bcm steel-mesh water filter, and 10~50 times finer than PP sediment filters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the ultra-high filtration rate that allows ultrafiltration water filters to effectively intercept fine silt, rust, colloids, parasite eggs, and other tiny impurities in the water, which makes it the best househole water filtration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, what makes this customer\u2019s situation tricky is that there is no shared plumbing shaft in his residential building, leaving very limited space for household water filtration system installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So he asked whether a single ultrafiltration whole house water filter could support backwashing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help me better understand his idea, he thoughtfully sent me a schematic diagram showing how a single ultrafiltration water filter could be backwashed. The backwashing solution shown in the diagram uses untreated raw water, routed through a bypass pipe, to backwash the ultrafiltration membrane cartridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the image was a screenshot from the internet and carried another manufacturer\u2019s watermark, I won\u2019t share it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a professional perspective, however, I do not recommend ChengrongTimes customers use raw water for backwashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, we need to clarify what backwashing means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the water enter from the filtered water outlet of the ultrafiltration household water filtration system. Then, filtered water flows from the inside of the ultrafiltration membrane outward, thereby backwashing the membrane from the inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when use the untreated raw water to backwash the ultrafiltration membrane cartridge, the sediment, rust, and other impurities in the raw water will attach to the inner wall of the membrane filaments, causing secondary contamination of the filter cartridge and worsening clogging of the membrane pores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is also a filtration process while the backwashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I always tell my customers that if you cannot use filtered water to back-wash the UF membrane cartridge, then you’d better not to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you wanna back wash the ultrafiltration membrane cartridge, but without a water tank equipped, then please install a parallel ultrafiltration water filter next to the ultrafiltration household water filtration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When one need to be backwashed, then let the other one to supply the filtered water for back-washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for PVDF ultrafiltration water filter, only with backwashing is not enough, if the users wanna thoroughly clean the ultrafiltration membrane cartridge, then he should simultaneously backwash and manual scrub the filter cartridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike 99% whole house water filter<\/a><\/strong> on the market, ChengrongTimes uses filtered clean water to backwash the membrane cartridge. At the same time, the cartridge can also be manually rinsed during backwashing, providing a more thorough cleaning effect that most competing systems cannot achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is why ChengrongTimes can confidently offer a 5-year warranty on the ultrafiltration membrane cartridge across different water sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since this customer does not have enough space to install two parallel ultrafiltration household water filtration systems, he can only install one single UF water filter unit, and rely on manual cartridge cleaning to to slow down cartridge fouling and reduce the decline in water flow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suggested that he wait a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChengrongTimes will soon launch a new tool-free detachable ultrafiltration water filter, which will be much more convenient for his situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the new tool-free model still needs thorough testing before its official release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, the customer said his whole house renovation would not begin for another few months, so he was willing to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an era when trust is more precious than gold, when a customer believes in ChengrongTimes this much, what excuse do I have not to make our household water filtration systems the very best they can be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
