Today, plumbing systems of many residential buildings are not in the best condition, but in places and in the emergency. As a result, in our apartments there are water with a high content of various impurities that can be dangerous to health. In addition, such water supply over time can cause damage to home appliances. To prevent the unwanted consequences of the consumption of polluted water, a special filter should be installed.

Features of the device
A coarse water purification filter is a cleaning device that makes the initial cleaning 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 the change in the organoleptic water quality. It becomes transparent, soft and safe for use. It disappears its turbidity, unpleasant smell, change for better taste properties. The task of the coarse purification filter is to mitigate water as much as possible and remove the foreign impurities of the solid state.
Consumption of the waters will allow to preserve a tangible part of the budget, since household appliances will retain their working condition for a longer period and will not require significant costs for repairs.
Types of mechanical cleaning filters
The modern market is saturated with filtration type products, however, among the coarse segment, it is customary to distinguish between such varieties of devices:
- filter with cartridge;
- reticulate;
- head high-speed apparatus.
- Mesh filter of rough water purification. The basis of this device is a grid with small cells, the bandwidth of which is 50-500 microns. Data devices in turn are divided into:
- irregular;
- self-rotational species.
Network devices It should be dismantled and cleaned as pollution occurs. To carry out such work, you need to pre-overlap the access of water supply, disassemble the filter, clean and assemble it in the original state.
Self-micro filters In such a procedure do not need. They are equipped with an automatic cleaning function from insoluble particles. These devices are equipped with a drainage pipe, which serves to receive contaminated water after self-cleaning.
Important! Today, you can find the net primary cleaning filters that are equipped with a special pressure control valve, as well as a pressure gauge. This allows you to protect household appliances from water pressure drops and track flow pressure in the pipeline.
- Cartridge type filter. In the flask of such a cleaning device there is a cartridge that is able to delay the mechanical suspension with dimensions from 0.5 μm. In addition, the elements of the ducting prevent substances from the fibrous structure. Such mechanical filters of coarse water purification can be made both in a flask with transparent walls - to filter the cold flow, and in the stainless steel housing, if you need to install on a hot highway.
- High-speed apparatus of pressure type. The structure of this device includes a container made of anti-corrosion metal, filled from inside with filtering material. This filter is suitable for purifying water with a high content of various impurity structure, 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 drainage pipeline is attached to high-speed pressure devices. Note that the pressure filter is poorly functioning at cold temperatures, so the installation should be carried out in a heated building.
Types of filtration device
To determine how to buy a coarse water filter, you need to proceed from the following provisions:
- The initial one should collect information about the quality of water in your home and the content of various impurities in it. If we are talking about the city feature, in this case, water indicators must comply with certain standards. If the filter has to be installed in the country house and water flow is carried out from an open source, then the need arises to carry out a detailed analysis in the laboratory. Further, based on the results obtained, you can select the most efficient type of water filter.
- Since many filter models have considerable dimensions, it is necessary to estimate the free place indoors and determine the angle to install the device.
- Consider financial opportunities. Many coarse water purification filters are much different from each other, and they can have weighty differences. Therefore, first of all, evaluate the technical characteristics of the product.
Filter selection by manufacturer
The segment of modern filtration equipment competes a significant number of manufacturers, which produce devices of rough water purification. Consider some of them more than in detail.
Filters brand "Honeywell"
Honeywell filters are distinguished by high product quality, since products comply with all DIN / DVGW regulatory requirements. In addition, the trading mark has such distinctive characteristics:
- these cleaning devices have small dimensions, which is quite convenient with limited space;
- cabinet tanks of filters intended for cleaning the cold stream are made of transparent plastic, due to which it is possible to quickly monitor the degree of contamination;
- the devices for the hot highway are protected by a flask made of brass;
- such a device will not have to dismantle from the pipeline, which greatly facilitates the process of operation and repair.
RBM and Valtec brand devices
Mechanical cleaning filters of Italian brands "RBM" and "Valtec" have such features:
- ergonomic design;
- devices are equipped with self-cleaning function and have a filtering capacity of 100 microns;
- the filter housings are made of brass and stainless steel;
- devices are equipped with pressure gauges that allow control of pressure indicators in the plumbing system;
- also, the pressure gauges perform the function of the contamination indicator, while the discharge of the particles behind the filtering occurs through the tap with the fitting.
Filters 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. Products of the domestic manufacturer have such differences:
- attractive and aesthetic design;
- cleaning devices "Sapphire-P" are capable of detaining particles more than 100 microns, due to which they can serve not only for purifying water in the dwelling, but also in industrial enterprises;
- devices have optimal dimensions, which are significantly lower than the analogs in height;
- filters "Sapphire-P" are presented with both manual control and automatic manual. Automatic control devices are in their composition built-in controller. The function of such a part is the launch of regeneration to the marked point of time or after the purification of a certain volume of water. This process of regeneration is carried out after prior programming.
Machines of the brand "Soyzintellect"
In search of an effective mechanical cleaning filter, attention should be paid to the products of Soyzintellekt. Products of this brand has the following features:
- filters have a predominant feature - they combine information, mechanical, bactericidal and sorption types;
- as the advantages of such a filter, it is possible to note its resistance to temperature drops and the ability to maintain a working state under pressure changes;
- after cleaning the water with filtration elements, a purified, softened product, enriched with oxygen, is obtained at the output;
- at the same time, filters are resistant to corrosion and do not need a frequent replacement.
Installing a coarse filter
If possible, the installation of a cleaning device is better to trust a specialist who is familiar with all the subtleties of the filter work. But if you have a desire and certain skills you can perform this procedure yourself. To do this, such features of the process should be taken into account:
- Initially, install the device. If the filter has a perpendicular location, it is recommended to mount the lid down. This will ensure the accumulation of large fractions of impurities in special meshes. For oblique filters, the optimal will be the vertical position.
- The next step should be washing the filter. To do this, you need to open drainage valves located at the bottom of the device. Thus, most of the water flow comes out of the filter, and the small part enters the plastic glasses, which 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 water speed, which is in the grid. So it is washed off with existing pollution.
- At the next step, you need to block the drainage valves and return the filters to the working condition. Usually, the cleansing of the grid does not require high time spent - grabs and thirty seconds. But time can vary depending on the features of operation.
