Today, water systems of many residential buildings are not in the best condition, but in places in the emergency position. As a result, water with a high content of various impurities that can be dangerous to health enters our apartments. In addition, such water supply over time can cause a breakdown of household appliances. In order to prevent the undesirable consequences of consumption of contaminated water, a special filter should be installed.

Features of the device
The coarse water purification filter is a cleaning apparatus that makes the initial purification of the incoming water and removes large fractions from the liquid - clay, lime, rust, chlorine, sand, and other foreign components.
By installing the filter in the apartment, you can visually notice a change in the organoleptic qualities of water. It becomes transparent, soft and safe for use. Her turbidity, an unpleasant smell disappears, the taste of taste changes for the better. The task of the gross cleaning filter is to soften the water as much as possible and remove foreign impurities of a solid state.
The consumption of the resulting water will preserve the tangible part of the budget, since household appliances will retain its working condition for a longer period and will not require significant repair costs.
Types of mechanical cleaning filters
The modern market is saturated with filtration type products, however, among the rough cleaning segment, it is customary to distinguish between the following varieties of devices:
- cartridge filter;
- reticulate;
- the pressure of a high -speed apparatus.
- The mesh filter of rough water purification. This device is based on a grid with small cells, the throughput of which is 50-500 microns. These devices, in turn, are divided into:
- non -compliance;
- spontaneous appearance.
Non -component devices It should be dismantled and cleaned as pollution occurs. To carry out such work, you must first block the access of the water supply, disassemble the filter, clean and collect it in its original state.
Self -wash filters They do not need such a procedure. They are equipped with an automatic cleaning function of insoluble particles. These devices are equipped with a drainage pipe, which serves to take contaminated water after self -cleaning.
Important! Today on sale you can find mesh filters of primary cleaning, which are equipped with a special valve for pressure control, as well as a pressure gauge. This allows you to protect household appliances from water pressure drops and monitor the flow of the flow in the pipeline.
- Cartriding type filter. In the flask of such a cleaning device there is a cartridge that is able to delay mechanical suspensions of dimensions from 0.5 microns. In addition, elements of the stocking species prevent the hit of substances with a fibrous structure. Such mechanical filters of rough water purification can be made both in a flask with transparent walls - for filtering a cold flow, and in a stainless steel case, if it is necessary to install on a hot line.
- High -speed pressure type. The structure of this device includes a container made of anti -corrosion metal, filled from the inside with material for filtration. This filter is suitable for purifying water with a high content of impurities of different structures, the dimensions of which are from 30 microns. The device is equipped with an automatic block with a control function located at the top of the filter. Also, a drain pipeline is attached to high -speed pressure devices. Keep in mind that the pressure filter does not function well at cold temperature, so the installation should be carried out in a heated building.
Types of filtration device
To decide which to buy a coarse water cleaning filter, you need to proceed from the following provisions:
- The original should be collected information about the quality of water in your home and the content of various kinds of impurities in it. If we are talking about the city, in this case, water indicators must comply with certain standards. If the filter is to be installed in a country house and water is carried out from an open source, then there is a need to conduct a detailed analysis in the laboratory. Further, based on the results, you can select the most effective type of water filter.
- Since many filters models have considerable dimensions, it is necessary to evaluate the free space in the room and determine the angle for installing the device.
- Consider financial capabilities. Many filters of rough water purification at a price differ little from each other, while they can have significant differences. Therefore, first of all, evaluate the technical characteristics of the product.
Selection of the filter by the manufacturer
In the segment of modern filtration technology, a significant number of manufacturers who produce gross water cleaning are competed. Consider some of them more details.
Filters of the brand "Honeywell"
Honeywell filters are of high quality products, since the products meet all the regulatory requirements of DIN/DVGW. In addition, the brand has such distinctive characteristics:
- these cleaning devices have small dimensions, which is quite convenient with limited space;
- cabinet tanks of filters designed to clean the cold flow are made of transparent plastic, due to which you can quickly monitor the degree of pollution;
- devices for a hot line are protected by a brass flask;
- such a device does not have to be dismantled from the pipeline, which significantly facilitates the process of operation and repair.
RBM and ValTec brands devices
Mechanical cleaning filters of Italian brands "RBM" and "Valtec" have the following features:
- ergonomic design;
- devices are equipped with a self -cleaning function and have a filter capacity of 100 microns;
- filters are made of brass and stainless steel;
- the devices are equipped with pressure gauges that allow you to control the pressure indicators in the tap system;
- manometers also perform the function of the pollution indicator, while the discharge of particles that have passed the filtering occurs through the crane with the fitting.
Filters of the brand "Sapphire-P"
The filters of the primary cleaning "Sapphire-P" are devices whose housings are made of reinforced plastic or steel. Due to this, they can filter both cold and hot water. The products of the domestic manufacturer have the following differences:
- attractive and aesthetic design;
- sapphire-P cleansing devices are capable of delaying particles of more than 100 microns, so that they can serve not only to purify water in the home, but also at industrial enterprises;
- devices have optimal dimensions, which are in height significantly lower than analogues;
- the filters "sapphire-P" are presented both with a manual control method and automatic. Automatic devices in their composition have a built -in controller. The function of such a part is the launch of regeneration at the indicated moment in time or after cleansing a certain volume of water. Such a regeneration process is carried out after preliminary programming.
Soyuznellekt brand devices
In search of an effective mechanical cleaning filter, attention should be paid to the products of Soyuznelleck. The products of this brand have the following features:
- filters have a predominant feature - they combine information, mechanical, bactericidal and sorption types of purification;
- as the advantages of such a filter, its resistance to temperature drops and the ability to maintain the working condition in conditions of pressure change;
- after water treatment by filtration elements, the output is a purified, softened product enriched with oxygen;
- at the same time, filters are resistant to corrosion and do not need frequent replacement.
Carriage filter installation
If possible, the installation of a cleaning device is best entrusted to a specialist who is familiar with all the intricacies of filters. But if you have a desire and certain skills can perform this procedure yourself. To do this, take into account the following process features:
- Initially, the device should be installed. If the filter has a perpendicular location, it is recommended to mount it with a lid down. This will ensure the accumulation of large fractions of impurities in special mesh. For oblique filters, the optimal position will be optimal.
- The next step should be the filter washing. To do this, open drainage valves located at the bottom of the device. Thus, most of the water flow leaves the filter, and a small part enters plastic glasses that are located in the upper compartment. Inside the glasses there are rotors that force the flow of water to rotate. This contributes to a sharp increase in the water rate, which inside enters the grid. So the existing pollution is washed off from it.
- At the next stage, you need to block the drainage valves and return the filters to working condition. Usually, cleaning the grid does not require a large time of time - there are enough and thirty seconds. But time can vary depending on the features of operation.
