Ceramic filters for water purification

Household ceramic filters for water purification are one of the alternatives for household water purification before its consumption in food and drink. There is a considerable choice of such systems, ranging from small desktops, ending with larger ones, installed on a sink as a stationary filter.

How do ceramic filters work for water purification?

A ceramic filter is a type of filter with a small pore size that filters both sediments and bacteria, providing you with completely clean drinking water.

A water filter with a ceramic cartridge allows water to percolate through millions of pores on its surface, during which even the smallest organic and inorganic contaminant particles (up to 0.5 microns) are retained and accumulated on the ceramic surface.

Inside the cartridge there will remain all the contaminants that have managed to leak through the outer surface. This is ensured by the fact that inside the cartridge there is a complicated labyrinth with bends and bends with sharp angles, through which all the remaining small particles must pass. They will remain in these complex traps, and at the output you will get crystal clear water.

Such cartridges can be used in storage pitchers. In addition to ceramics, they use activated carbon. This combination of methods of purification gives water, pure by 98%.

Water filters with a ceramic membrane operate by passing water under tap water through a membrane, dividing it into two streams - filtrate and concentrate. As a result, ideally clean water will accumulate on one side of the membrane, and on the other side all the contaminants will remain.

The principle of the membrane operation is the delay of the smallest polluting particles in the ceramic pores of the membrane, having a size from 0.1 to 0.05 microns. Under the pressure of the flow, the water molecules pass through these minute pores, cleansing of all types of contaminants that simply can not squeeze into such small pores on the membrane.

The huge plus of a ceramic flow-through filter for water is that it does not change its salt balance, as in reverse osmosis systems. Other advantages of ceramic membranes include:
