During use, water flows from the water inlet of the machine head into the gap between the filter bottle and the filter screen, flows into the center of the filter screen frame after being filtered by the filter screen, and then flows from the center of the filter screen frame to the water outlet of the machine head. The pre-filter has now penetrated into thousands of households and high-end hotels.
