In the industrial field, as an important water purification component, the large-flow filter element often has many doubts in its cleaning and replacement cycle. This article will be professionally interpreted on this point.

1. The meaning of the cleaning cycle and the replacement cycle

Filter element cleaning cycle: refers to the frequency of proper cleaning to remove the accumulated dirt after reaching a certain use time or water quantity.

Filter element replacement cycle: refers to the frequency at which the filter element should be completely replaced after its service life is determined.

The difference between the two is that:

The cleaning cycle emphasizes the removal of dirt on the filter element surface and the restoration of partial filtration capacity; the replacement cycle means that the filter element is unable to achieve the designed filtration effect and must be completely replaced.

2. Factors affecting the filter element cleaning and replacement cycle

Water consumption: The more water is used, the shorter the filter element is used, and the more frequent cleaning and replacement are required.

Water quality: Hard water and water with dirty substances are more likely to damage the surface of the filter element and need to be replaced more frequently.

Filter element type: the structure material and filtration effect of different types of filter element are different, and the cleaning and replacement cycle is different.

Process requirements: for the process with high clarity requirements, the service life of the filter element is relatively short.

In conclusion, under normal circumstances, the filter element cleaning cycle is about 1-3 times per month, and the replacement cycle is about 3-6 months.

3. Selection criteria for cleaning and replacement

When the filter element changes color and the filter effect decreases, cleaning should be considered.

When the filter element is serious and the cleaning effect is not good, the new filter element should be considered.

When the water quality deteriorates or the odor occurs, the filter element should be replaced immediately.

When the filter element has been used for the design period, it should be forcibly replaced.

Filter element cleaning extends the use time, but it cannot be used indefinitely. Filter element replacement can restore the optimal performance.

To sum up, according to the actual situation, the reasonable combination of the cleaning and replacement of the filter element, can achieve the best effect. In addition, frequent inspection and comprehensive maintenance of water dispenser equipment can also help to extend the service cycle of filter elements.
