Water purifier and method for replacing concentrated water with pure water

Abstract

The invention discloses a water purifier and method for replacing concentrated water with pure water. The water purifier comprises a raw water inlet, a first reverse osmosis (RO) filter element and a second RO filter element; the raw water inlet is connected with a water inlet of a booster pump, and a water outlet of the booster pump is divided into two paths, wherein one path is connected with the water inlet end of the first RO filter element through a first water inlet electromagnetic valve, and the other path is connected with the water inlet end of the second RO filter element through a second water inlet electromagnetic valve; the pure water end of the first RO filter element is connected with a water outlet faucet; and the pure water end of the second RO filter element is connected to the water inlet end of the first RO filter element through a second check valve, and is located between the first water inlet electromagnetic valve and the first RO filter element. The small-capacity second RO filter element is added on the basis of a conventional large-flux water purifier, and pure water generated by the second RO filter element is utilized to replace concentrated water in the first RO filter element, so that the problem of ion diffusion is solved, and total dissolved solids (TDS) of pure water in the pure water end cannot rise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water purification equipment, and in particular relates to a water purification machine and a method for replacing concentrated water with pure water. Background technique [0002] The traditional reverse osmosis water purifier, the water production capacity is usually 50 gallons per day, the water production capacity ranges from 400 gallons to 800 gallons, or even more than 1,000 gallons, which are generally called large-flux water purifiers. Large-flux water purifiers are improving At the same time as certain performance, it also brings new problems in terms of hygiene indicators and cost performance, resulting in the problem of "living in water". [0003] At present, the flow channel of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element (RO filter element) is as follows: the raw water enters from one end of the filter element, the raw water is filtered from the outside to the inside, the filtered pure water g...

Problems solved by technology

If it diffuses overnight, the TDS value of the pure water in the pure water side will increase significantly. If there are more heavy metal ions in the raw water, the heavy metals in the pure water will also exceed the standard, and the water quality and taste will be greatly affected.

[0004] When the high-throughput water purifier is working, the TDS at the pure water end is in a normal state. When the user stops using it, the concentrated water at the water inlet end of the RO membrane will gradually diffuse to the pure water end, and the diffusion time will start to appear after more than 5 minutes. The water at the pure water end generally depends on the size of the membrane shell, usually about 500-1000ml, which leads to a high TDS value of the first glass of water after restarting work
