What Is Ultrafiltration Membrane And How Does It Work?

Ultrafiltration(UF) is a physical filtration process that uses home water pressure to push water through the semipermeable membrane to get rid of particles larger than membrane pore size in water.
The ultrafiltration membrane utilized during the filtration process is a kind of hollow fibers with pore size ranging between 0.01 to 0.1 micron, which is several thousand times smaller than a human hair.
While water feeds in, the particles larger than the pore size would be retained on the surface of the membrane, whereas water and beneficial minerals that are smaller than the pore size would pass through and become the drinkable water.

The Lazy Man's Guide to Water Filtration vs. Water Purification

Do you know that an average home uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day to accomplish indoor tasks, such as taking showers and flushing the toilet? However, 29% of the world's population lives off contaminated water. Such water causes more deaths in a year than wars and violent crimes combined. Every two minutes, a child dies of a disease caused by ingesting unclean water.

Frigidaire Refrigerator Filter Replacement Review 2021

Contaminants and impurities in family water supply make the water taste bad and can even bring risks to your families’ health. Using a refrigerator with a filter is a nice solution to reduce those harmful substances and improve the tastes of the water. Frigidaire refrigerator is a popular choice in the market, paired with a carbon-based filter, could provide the whole family with safe, fresh-tasting water every day.
While enjoying the purified water brought by the Frigidaire refrigerator filter, you’d better check if the filter still works from time to time. As once the filter exceeds the service life(usually six months, or check the light indicator and user manual), the water from the filter will be unsafe to drink and can even make you sick. So it is necessary to buy a new filter replacement for your Frigidaire refrigerator when the old one is worn out.

Where Can I Find My Refrigerator Model Number Or Water Filter Part Number?

Your refrigerator model number or water filter part number is an important information that comes in handy for several reasons. For instance, you need the right model number to get the right replacement parts for your refrigerator.

Manufacturers make several various versions of the same type of parts for models with slight variations. So, it may be impossible to get the correct part for your appliance without the right and complete model number. In extreme cases, you may have to resort to trial and error – an option that is not only time-consuming but expensive.

How Does a Reverse Osmosis Filter System Work?

If you're wondering what a reverse osmosis filter system is in terms of your drinking water, Waterdrop is here to provide you with all the information you need.
Given the way our society works and the way in which our civic system is set up, we all need to rely on a finite number of sources for our drinking water. For most people, that involves using water that's provided by the local water utility, and for some that means drinking from a private well. Regardless, one thing that everyone has in common is the fact that most water that comes from our faucets, if not treated, is not very clean and in some cases unhealthy. In certain situations, untreated drinking water can be dangerous if consumed in large quantities.

Traditional Reverse Osmosis System and Tankless Reverse Osmosis System – The Differences

Can you tell apart the traditional reverse osmosis system and the tankless reverse osmosis system? What are their differences in terms of flow rate, waste water and so on? Waterdrop will list every detail about it.
Technology is driving a lot of changes in recent times. This puts commercial businesses in a vital position to either follow the trend or be left behind. Talking about following the trend, most businesses are yet to adopt smart design-based reverse osmosis purification systems over the former traditional methods. Why? Because only a few of these companies know about the existence of these better water filtration technologies.
At commercial levels, water purification is now a smoother experience, thanks to these modern, SMART filtration solutions. From the availability to the supply, use, and maintenance, the superiority of the tech-backed commercial water purifiers has relegated the traditional RO water purification methods to the background.

Refrigerator Water Filter for a Medium-Sized Family

What's the right refrigerator water filter for a medium-sized family? Waterdrop has your breakdown right here!
Every family drinks quite a bit of water every day, and much of it is consumed by way of cooking. We all understand that water needs to be clean and free of impurities in order to maximize its benefits, but removing these problematic substances can also protect people from potential short and long-term health risks. Over the years, people in general have changed their approach to how they consume water in the home. For generations, tap water was seen as a fine choice, but over time, infrastructures began to break down and impurities began to find their way into our drinking water.
That prompted families to look elsewhere, and that led to the introduction of delivery services that provide clean drinking water at regular time intervals and, of course, water was sold in enormous amounts in plastic bottles. Recently, environmental concerns have emerged with regards to bottled water, but it's still sold in staggering volumes. EcoWatch published a report in 2017 that showed that consumers purchase approximately 1 million plastic bottles of liquid per minute around the world, or 20,000 bottles per second. Not all of these bottles contain water, but most would agree that this is not a good option for the planet for obvious reasons.
