Water is the source of life. The quality of water is related to the health of everyone. More and more families buy and install water purifiers. At present, there are more than 5,000 brands of water purifiers in China. There is no specific industry norm. Let the water purification industry market be mixed and the products are uneven. In order to solve the chaos in the water purification industry, the new standard of the national water purification industry will be officially implemented next month. Will this bring about a major reshuffle of the water purifier industry?
The reporter saw in an appliance store in Hefei, Anhui Province, activated carbon, microfiltration ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, water purifiers with various technical concepts can be seen everywhere, and the price range is from one thousand to more than 10,000 yuan. When Ms. Zhang purchased the most important thing is water quality safety, she chose a reverse osmosis water purifier.
She introduced: 'My family installed a water purifier under the kitchen sink. The water used for cooking and drinking is purified. The water that is now boiled is particularly effective, without any odor and scale. The only problem is special wastewater. Usually, when you hear the clean water above, there is no waste water in the row. The salesperson said that 1 ton of water should be discharged while discharging 1 ton of waste water, indicating that 50% of the water is wasted.
When it comes to the water purification market, many consumers use the word 'water depth' to express their feelings. This is reflected in the mixed brand and the concept of propaganda. People in the industry broke the news, a water purifier of two or three thousand yuan, found after dismantling : The accessories are a 1.8 yuan melt blown filter at the ex-factory price, a 3 yuan compressed activated carbon filter, and two granular activated carbon filters up to 3.5 yuan.
Ms. Zhang said that the products she bought were relatively high-end, but the problem of wasting water was not solved.
At present, there are more than 5,000 brands of water purifiers in China, and the product quality is uneven. In November last year, the former AQSIQ and the National Standards Committee officially issued GB34914-2017 “Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Water Efficiency Limit Value”. And the national standard of water efficiency rating. The standard stipulates that RO reverse osmosis water purifiers with a net water production rate of less than 35% are considered unqualified products.
Lu Jianguo, deputy chief engineer of China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute, said that the new national standard will eliminate the inferior products with high water consumption through the setting of water efficiency limit value. 'A considerable part of water purifier, if the net water production rate is 35% The following can not enter the threshold. Because this standard is mandatory. Most machines can reach 1:3, or 25%. We now refer to the target of 35%, that is 1:2. The water-saving type should reach 65%, That is, there should be 65 liters of clean water in 100 liters of water.
What is the impact of the implementation of this standard on reverse osmosis water purifier enterprises? The reporter interviewed a water purification equipment company in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, which is mainly engaged in sales, installation and maintenance of water purification equipment, water treatment equipment, water dispensers, etc. Zheng Yongquan, the person in charge of the company, said that the introduction of industry standards will force the upgrade of the water purification industry to achieve the survival of the fittest. 'There is no impact on our company, because it is the water production rate of 1:1. Most of the current water purifiers. Both have reached 50% of the water output rate, 1:1 has been higher than this standard, 35% is 1:2. So setting the standard is an improvement for the whole industry, eliminating the poor quality of the products, leaving good, realizing Survival of the fittest. '
For the water purifier, according to Li Fuxing, director of the Beijing Public Drinking and Drinking Water Research Institute, there are no national standards in China, but two industry standards have been introduced, one is the reverse osmosis standard just introduced, and the other is super Filtration standards, these two standards together promote the safe development of drinking water in China. 'Reverse osmosis machines are better than ultrafiltration from a safety point of view, but reverse osmosis machines have two problems, the first is waste of water, not in line with water conservation. The second requirement is that water does not contain any minerals. Long-term drinking is not good for the human body. From a health point of view, reverse osmosis is not as good as ultrafiltration; from a safety perspective, reverse osmosis is better than ultrafiltration. The improvement of water quality requirements, new standards, new products will continue to emerge.
