The purifier is a water dispenser with a built-in water purifier. It can be equipped with the functions of heating and cooling, and sometimes aeration of drinking water. The principle of operation of the purifier is to purify tap water through a multi-stage filter, which then enters a storage tank, in order to eventually be distributed to tanks for heating and cooling. In fact, a purifier is the same office cooler, only without the need for constant replacement of bottles.

In order to select the correct purifier model, the user should pay attention to several defining characteristics of the device.

Filtration system

If the water has characteristics that make it potable (for example, water that has been treated in a municipal water supply), it is better to choose a purifier with an ultrafiltration system. It is cheaper and does not require connecting the filter to the mains. Such a system purifies water from viruses, bacteria and particles with a size of 0.01-0.1 microns, while maintaining its mineral balance.

If the water quality leaves much to be desired (open source of water supply: lake, river, etc.), it is advisable to use reverse osmosis systems with an electric pump that creates additional pressure. This approach is explained by the fact that the degree of purification of the reverse osmosis system is very high: the size of the screened particles is 0.001 microns. It should be noted that the reverse osmosis system must be connected to the sewerage system to remove sediment from the impurities retained by the membrane. Reverse osmosis removes all impurities by 99.9%

Installation types

According to the type of installation, the coolers are divided into desktop and floor models. Desktop devices are perfect for use in apartments or small offices, as they have compact dimensions and can significantly save space. Floor purifiers have advanced functionality and high performance, therefore, they are mainly installed in public places and offices of large companies.

The presence of a storage tank

Devices with a storage tank are recommended for use in homes or offices with a number of users from 10 people. Important: purifiers equipped with a reverse osmosis system pass water through the membrane at a rate of approximately 8 l / h. Therefore, with a large number of consumers, the presence of a reservoir is mandatory.

Types of heating elements

To heat the water, the purifiers are equipped with either external or internal heating elements. External heating elements are located at the edges or under the bottom of the tank. The main advantage of their use is the absence of direct contact of the element with water: scale does not form on it and heat transfer does not deteriorate. The disadvantages of using external heating elements include their low power. For the successful operation of the purifier, this type of heater is mainly used in household and middle class devices.

Internal heating elements are housed inside the cooler tank. Unlike external heaters, internal ones have more power, they allow you to instantly heat water. However, from constant contact with hard water, they are covered with a layer of scale, and their efficiency decreases. For successful and long-term operation, purifiers with internal heating elements require sanitary maintenance every 6 months (regardless of the filter performance).

Additional features and options

The advanced functionality of the coolers gives the user the opportunity to reach a new level of comfort. The modern market offers models of purifiers equipped with ice makers, which make it possible to process purified water into ice. For fans of carbonated water, the device can be equipped with a carbonation function. Maintenance of such a purifier does not require complex actions: it is enough to periodically change the carbon dioxide cylinders. If children have access to the cooler, it can be equipped with an optional scald protection option. The user simply locks the hot water key, eliminating the very possibility of thermal injury.

What are the benefits of using a purifier?

Technically, a purifier is a much more complex mechanism than a conventional cooler, since it is equipped with an autonomous water filtration system: this also causes its high cost. In addition, the purifier requires connection to the water supply and sewerage system (when installing a reverse osmosis membrane). Like the cooler, the cooler requires periodic maintenance. However, if the water consumption is more than 8 bottles per month, the capital cost of purchasing such a device quickly pays off. At the same time, the user receives water, the quality of which can be 100% sure. Another advantage of installing a cooler is that there is no need to allocate additional storage space for bottles.

Hello dear readers of the site!

A very interesting topic is on the agenda today. Many of us work in offices and have noticed an interesting trend. By the way, if you are also planning to purchase a purifier, we would like to draw your attention to the ATBio company. Experts will help you choose the best model that meets all your requirements and deliver it to the right place. You can get acquainted with the assortment by following the link //atbio.ru/purifiers.

Now back to the topic:

Coolers today, as a rule, dismantle and install coolers. Here we no longer see the usual "bottles" with clean water. So how does it work, what are the advantages, and why is everyone abandoning coolers in favor of coolers en masse? Let's figure it out!

As a preface, we want to remind you - thanks to water, all living things exist on the planet earth. In urban realities, although water is purified, its quality leaves much to be desired. At home we filter the water, then we boil it. What to do at work?

Everyone is familiar with coolers, a bulky device with an inverted bottle on top. The water is supplied by third parties and we enjoy relatively good quality water at work. It is worth noting that today there are coolers with the ability to heat water, which allows you to pour boiling water from the cooler, saving time for boiling water in any other way.

In addition to coolers in small offices, you can find just a bottle with a pump. The pump allows you to manually create the pressure necessary to supply water to the container (glass, cup, etc.)

But today, large companies are gradually abandoning coolers and even more so bottles with pumps, because a worthy replacement has appeared on the market - water purifiers.

The main difference between purif the cooler is fired, there is no need to fill it with water. It connects directly to the water supply systems, cleans it, if necessary, heats or cools to the specified temperature.

When creating a purifier, it was decided to take into account 3 nuances:

1) Disinfection and water purification;
2) Water cooling;
3) Heating water up to 100 degrees Celsius (boiling point)

For water purification, a multi-stage filtration system is used, which makes it possible to obtain water cleaner than after boiling.
Connecting a water purifier is available to absolutely anyone; it is not necessary to install it in the immediate vicinity of the water supply, because the hose leading to the purifier will not lose its conductive properties even with a length of 99 meters.

Accordingly, using a purifier, you can eliminate the cost of the services of water delivery companies.

The only thing is that from time to time you will need to change filters - in general, these are all the costs that you will have to go to when purchasing this device.

There are a huge number of water purification devices on the market today. Among them, an important place is occupied by purifiers - devices for purifying tap water using a built-in filtration system. When using this device, you will always have enough clean water.

Possibilities of purifiers

These devices are capable of heating and cooling water, purifying it from small impurities and heavy metal salts. Built-in filters in it are reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration. In addition, they can be floor-standing and table-top. Some of the models are equipped with storage tanks. And the latest models of these devices are additionally equipped with special icemakers. All these features of the cleaners facilitate their placement in any facility.

Among other devices for purifying drinking water, pay attention to the Ecotronic purifiers. You can always buy such devices in our store. Purifiers of this brand have osmotic filtration, four degrees of purification. The first degree of purification is provided by a sediment filter, the other - by a carbon prefilter, the third - by an RO membrane, and the fourth - by a carbon postfilter.

By purchasing a purifier, you will become the owner of a device with the following advantages:

• There is no need to transport water bottles over long distances.
• Over time, the cost of drinking water becomes very small.
• Can be used in remote areas where there is no way to deliver bottled water.
• Low maintenance costs.
• Ultrafiltration can remove unpleasant chlorine and iron odors from water and make it taste good.

But it also has some disadvantages:

• As a rule, it is more expensive than a cooler.
• Its dimensions are also somewhat larger than that of the cooler, which creates certain inconveniences in small rooms.
• You need to carefully monitor the resource of filters.
• It requires a source of constant water supply.

The scheme and principle of operation of the purifier

Water is supplied through the pipe, which is installed when connected, from the water supply system to the inside of the device and passes through all stages of cleaning. After that, the purified liquid enters a special tank, and then is fed into the tanks for cold and hot water. If there is no storage tank, a cold water tank plays its role. The temperature is controlled by electronic sensors, in case of deviation from the set values, the heating or cooling system is switched on.

Most models remove suspended solids from the water, then remove chlorine and organic chemicals. At the next stages, cleaning from dissolved salts, foreign odors, tastes and disinfection is carried out, which allows you to get rid of bacteria and microorganisms. In different models, the number of degrees of purification may differ, therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to take into account the initial quality of the water.

It is advisable to entrust service maintenance to specialists, since in this case effective operation and durability of the equipment is guaranteed.

Where can you install and how to operate the purifier?

Purifiers with storage tanks can be installed in places where large numbers of people accumulate. For example, it can be hospitals, schools, offices, kindergartens, etc. And some models of such devices provide quick preparation of high-quality carbonated water, becoming an excellent alternative to buying drinks of dubious quality with the addition of harmful chemicals. They are equipped with carbon dioxide cylinders. In order to provide yourself with carbonated water, you just need to change the carbon dioxide cylinders in a timely manner. Some appliances have a button to block hot water. It helps to avoid possible burns when using this device.

The purifier does not require special care conditions. All he needs is the timely cleaning of filters and their replacement, as well as minor repairs of parts that have failed.

What is a water cooler and how is it better than a regular water cooler?

In order to provide a home or office with clean drinking water, filter coolers are used. It is a kind of whole system that provides users with purified water. It is also called a purifier. This device not only filters tap water with high quality, but also provides portioning and preparation (cooling or heating). When choosing purifiers, the consumer should decide on the required dimensions and functional characteristics of the device. The best filtration system is divided according to the following criteria:

Choosing a good purifier: how the device works

Before choosing the best water purification unit, each user must understand the principle of operation of such a device. The filtration system works in the following stages:

By type of installation - desktop and floor;
by design type - with and without a storage tank;
on the filtration system - ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis.

There are device models in which there is no storage tank. In this case, all its functions are assigned to the cold water tank, and from there the liquid enters the hot water tank.

What is better purifiers or coolers

As you can imagine, the conventional cooler is the forerunner of the modern cooler. The principle of operation and the body have not changed. But there is still a difference between them. And it lies in the source of water. Choosing such an apparatus for water, the consumer relieves himself of the need to buy a huge bottle. The filtration system is located at the bottom of the apparatus.
How to choose a cooler? Everything is very simple. First, you need to find out what advantages and disadvantages it has over conventional coolers. Among the advantages are the following points:

There is no need to lift heavy bottles, and also look for a place for them;
no need to constantly order water, wait and control its delivery;
with high consumption, the price per liter of water from such a device is lower than from a conventional cooler;
ease of use, especially for a floor-standing purifier;
a huge amount of good reviews.

Among the disadvantages are the following points:

A modern apparatus requires a connection to the water supply;
when self-servicing, you must constantly monitor the cleanliness of the filter (but here replaceable filters come to the rescue).

As you can understand, these devices really differ from each other. But it should be noted that reviews of purifiers can be seen only of a positive nature. They are of high quality, durable, reliable, convenient and are purchased for long-term use. And these are the primary factors that you should pay attention to before buying.

Purifier - a more modern cooler that does not require constant replacement of bulky 19-liter containers with water. They are connected directly to the water supply system and have their own water treatment. Purification of running water is carried out using filters installed at the bottom of the device. Filtered water enters the storage tank (if there is one, and then is distributed among the cold and hot water tanks. If there is no storage tank, the cold water tank takes over its functions.

Purifiers can be classified into the following types:

	Apparatus with reverse osmosis system the device is more complex.
The most popular purifiers are - ultrafine cleaning (UF) , which filter the water even when not plugged into an outlet. They only need a tie-in to the water supply system.	Their device also includes: a pressure pump powered by electricity and helps to pump water through the smallest pores of the membrane, especially at low pressure in the water supply network. And an additional waste water drain pipe that connects to the sewer drain.	Apparatus no filtration provide for the installation of their own filters or an external cleaning system.

Tabletop - convenient for a small room. They do not take up a lot of space, and the performance is not inferior to outdoor ones.	Floor standing - great for both home and office space. In addition to their technical functions, they will also perfectly decorate the interior.

• Compressor rooms are more powerful - they cool 2-5 liters per hour to 5-10 C

• Electronic cool ~ 1 liter per hour to 10-15 C

In addition to its basic functions, the purifier can have the following options:

• Hot water tap protection ... Relevant when there are small children in the house.
• Electronic leakage protection ... Shuts off water immediately when a leak is detected.
• Availability of the 3rd crane ... Water supply at room temperature or carbonated water (models with a carbonation function).
• Built-in icemaker .
• Built-in storage tank .
• Monitor ... With information panel or with timer and temperature control panel.
• Cold water tank sterilization function (self-cleaning).

Installing purifiers

The devices are connected to the water supply using a thin (~ 6mm) heavy-duty tube, which can be hidden under the plinus. The distance of the insert source from the device reaches one hundred meters. The pipe is so strong that it can withstand pressure up to 15 atmospheres (the city's water supply network is implemented at the rate of 7).

Installed filters

There are four special filters installed in the purifier, which are required for the complete purification of water before drinking.

	1 - sedimentary superfilter for coarse purification frees water from suspended particles
	2 - the carbon prefilter removes the admixture of chlorine and chemical organics
	3 - Either an ultra-filtration filter (UF) is installed, which cleans from microbes and normalizes the amount of minerals and salts,
	or a membrane (RO) that traps microbacteria, which are then flushed down the drain
	4 - the carbon post-filter removes the aftertaste after filtration, thereby improving the taste of drinking water
	Additionally, it is possible to install an ultra-violet lamp (UV lamp), it excludes the possibility of microbial growth

How often should filters be changed?

Set of special filters for ultrafiltration purifiers:
Sedimentary + Carbon pre-filter + UV + Carbon post-filter
A set of special filters for purifiers with a reverse osmosis system
Sedimentary + Coal pre-filter + Membrane + Coal post-filter

You can change the filters yourself. This is not difficult, because Lego connector fittings are detachable and just as easy to connect

- It is not always convenient to use 19-liter bottles:

• it can be unprofitable if you consume a lot of water. The price of one liter of drinking water from a purifier is much cheaper than the price of one liter of water from a bottle.
• if the cooler is not with the bottom installation of the bottle, it is rather difficult to lift it onto the cooler.
• water delivery is not always carried out on time.

- Floor standing coolers with storage tank, well above coolers... Consequently, the water supply taps are also higher, and this is very convenient when drawing water.
Purifiers are certainly more expensive, but the benefits are clear.

Choosing a purifier

In areas outside the city, water pipes are often worn out. Then devices with reverse osmosis are out of competition. They are the best way to purify water from all obscene things.

Where the water is less polluted, it is possible to use devices with ultrafine filtration, they are cheaper and also do an excellent job of water purification.
