The filtration effect of filter cartridges made of different materials is mainly determined by the following factors:
1、 Material characteristics
Adsorption: Some materials, such as activated carbon, have strong adsorption properties and can effectively remove odors, residual chlorine, and organic substances from water, but their filtration effect on small particles and suspended solids may be relatively weak.
Filtration accuracy: Filter cartridges made of different materials have different filtration accuracies. For example, RO reverse osmosis membranes have extremely high filtration accuracy and can remove small harmful substances such as heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses from water; The filtration accuracy of PP cotton is relatively low, mainly filtering out larger impurities.
Corrosion resistance: Some filter materials, such as titanium rod filters, have corrosion resistance and are suitable for filtering corrosive media, while ordinary filters may not be able to withstand such environments.
2、 Aperture size
The pore size of the filter directly affects its filtration effect. The smaller the aperture, the smaller the impurity particles that can be intercepted, and the better the filtering effect. However, at the same time, a too small aperture may also lead to a decrease in water output, affecting the efficiency of use.
3、 Surface structure
The surface structure of the filter element can also affect its filtering effect. For example, filter cartridges with special surface structures may have better adsorption or interception properties, thereby improving filtration efficiency.
4、 Environment and conditions for use
Water quality characteristics: The types and concentrations of pollutants in different water sources vary, which can affect the filtration difficulty and effectiveness of the filter element. For high concentrations of pollutants, it may be necessary to use higher performance filters or increase the number of filtration stages.
Temperature of use: Some filter materials may experience changes in performance at high temperatures, which can affect the filtration effect. Therefore, when choosing a filter element, it is necessary to consider its operating temperature range.
Pressure conditions: The filter element may be deformed or damaged due to compression under high pressure, thereby affecting the filtration effect. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate filter element based on the actual usage pressure.
5、 Maintenance and upkeep
The maintenance and upkeep of the filter element are also important factors that affect its filtration efficiency. Regular replacement of the filter element, cleaning of the filter element surface, and maintenance measures such as keeping the filter element dry can extend its service life and ensure the stability of its filtering effect.
The filtration effect of filter cartridges made of different materials is determined by multiple factors, including material characteristics, pore size, surface structure, usage environment and conditions, as well as maintenance and upkeep. When selecting a filter element, it is necessary to comprehensively consider these factors based on the actual application scenario and the type of pollutants that need to be filtered.
