What is RO pre filter?
The Water Purifier Pre Filter is a filter that is installed before your RO water purifier. It is an external filter and is usually set up outside your water cleaner.
Many RO water purifiers nowadays do not come with a pre-filter; the first purification step is usually a sediment filter.
RO pre filters include a 5 micron rotation filter that absorbs more significant physical impurities such as dirt, grime, sand, and rust pressure.
The Pre filter is used in the first stage of purification in any RO purifier and it filters the raw tap water before your RO water purifier purifies it. In addition to a load of physical pollution, it similarly increases the life of your water purifier filters (such as sediment filters, pre-activated carbon filters, and RO membranes).
What time is best to replace the Water Purifier Pre Filter ?
The actual frequency depends on the quality of the incoming water and your usage. However, it would help if you changed pre filter cartridges every three months. You can clean the pre-filter cartridge with clean water after some time.
Advantage of setting up a pre-filter
- First remove muddy, rusty, dirty and raw water.
- Seconds remove all physical contamination.
- It extends the life of your water purifier RO membrane and all inline filters
- RO reduces membrane damage and saves money.
