1. Different working principles
Water purifiers actually mainly use two technologies, RO reverse osmosis technology and ultrafiltration technology. The activated carbon adsorption, PP cotton and high-purity KDF filter material in the equipment can achieve water purification, and can effectively remove water sediment, rust, suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, macromolecular organic matter and other harmful substances.
The water softener is mainly two softening technologies, ion resin exchange technology and nanocrystalline technology. The principle of ion resin exchange refers to the removal of calcium and magnesium ions in water through ion exchange resin, reducing water hardness and realizing the effect of converting hard water into soft water. The other is nanocrystal technology, namely TemplateAsistedCrystallization, which uses the high energy generated by nanocrystals to package free calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate ions in water into nanoscale crystals, thereby preventing free ions from forming scale.
2. Different uses
The water purifier can effectively remove harmful substances in the water, improve the safety of domestic water, and improve the taste. Especially the RO reverse osmosis water purifier can remove the harmful substances such as heavy metals and antibiotics in the water. However, the cost of purified water treatment is high, and it is a good choice for our daily drinking water.
The water softener mainly removes calcium and magnesium ions in tap water, reduces the hardness of water, and converts hard water into soft water. Soft water does not contain or contains less calcium and magnesium ions, and they are not easy to combine with soap base to form soap scum residue. Therefore, washing your face with soft water can enhance the skin's water-locking function, and if you use it to wash your hair, it will make your hair smoother.
