1. For relatively clear tap water, Desktop UF Water Filter can easily remove tiny suspended matter, particulate matter and some bacteria, making the water purer and improving the taste of drinking water.
2. If the water source contains more visible impurities such as silt, rust, etc., the primary filtration layer (such as the pre-filter) of Desktop UF Water Filter will first intercept these large particles, and then the ultrafiltration membrane layer will further remove smaller suspended matter and bacteria, effectively purifying the water quality.
3. Hard water mainly refers to water containing more calcium and magnesium ions. Desktop UF Water Filter mainly filters physical impurities and does not have the ability to remove minerals dissolved in water (such as calcium and magnesium ions). Therefore, using Desktop UF Water Filter in hard water areas can remove suspended matter and bacteria, but the hardness of the water will not change.
4. If the water source is polluted to a certain extent, such as containing excessive microorganisms and organic pollutants, the ultrafiltration membrane layer of the Desktop UF Water Filter can effectively intercept most bacteria and some organic macromolecules, but the removal capacity of small molecular organic matter, viruses and soluble pollutants (such as heavy metal ions, pesticide residues, etc.) is limited. In this case, it may be necessary to combine other water treatment technologies (such as activated carbon adsorption, reverse osmosis, etc.) to achieve better purification effects.
5. For some special water qualities, such as high-salinity water, acidic or alkaline water, the filtering effect of the Desktop UF Water Filter may be affected to a certain extent. Although the ultrafiltration membrane itself has a certain acid, alkali and salt resistance, long-term use under extreme water conditions may shorten its service life or affect the filtering effect.
