Important points

The installation of any filters is simple, if you act in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. But each apartment has its own characteristics that should be considered during installation.

Important! A high-quality device must be packed, and complete with it should be instructions and installation instructions. If the packaging and instructions are missing - it is better to choose another option.

Installation of simple appliances is intuitive. Here you can only give advice to purchase devices that have a transparent case. Also, simple models have a significant minus - they are designed only for cold water.

You can read about how to choose the right device separately, we will figure out how the water treatment installation should be performed.

Different types of cleaning devices have different nuances during their installation. In a general view, devices that require special installation are presented:

• coarse filters;
• fine cleaning;
• mechanical cleaning;
• reverse osmosis system;
• stationary devices.

Let us consider in more detail how the installation of water purification of each of the options occurs.

Coarse filter installation

This device purifies water from large particles of impurities and is mounted directly in the water supply. Perpendicular and oblique filters have gained popularity among this species.

The main functions of the coarse cleaner:

• Protection of household appliances using running water.
• Improving the quality of water - both flowing and from wells.

Installation Basics

Their design may be different, but the basic principle of operation is one, so the following points should be considered during installation:

1. The cover for which the functions of the sump are reserved must always be at the bottom.
2. If it is not possible to set the perpendicular option, you can use the oblique filter.

Important! Installation of water purification of this type occurs in front of the meter, after the stopcock. Its mesh traps large particles of dirt when water rises under pressure.

Installation is as simple as possible: the device is carefully screwed onto the pipe using tools. Often, on this type of device draw a special arrow, which should be guided during installation. Which direction it points indicates the direction of the water.

Important! If you neglect the recommendations and install the cover up - its net will catch dirt, but over time, the device may break down, because the accumulated debris will not allow the tap to open.

The best option would be to combine this type of appliance with another, providing a more thorough cleaning.

Installing a fine filter

If rough cleaning can easily cope with large contaminants, then small impurities and bacteria from the water will help remove the device for fine cleaning.Depending on the manufacturer, these devices can not only clean the liquid from smaller contaminants, but also disinfect and soften it.

Important! When installing this type, it is important to remember that it is impossible to disassemble such a device, because if you damage the membrane, the water passing through it will remain dirty.

It is better to use the fine filter together with the coarse one, making it possible for the finer one to purify only that water that the large mesh failed to handle. It is desirable to carry out its installation as close as possible to the water outlet.

The device can easily cope with the purification of hot water, but before use, it is important to check the quality of the materials used in the device. When choosing, one should focus not only on quality indicators of cleaning, but also on the convenience and ease of installation.

Installation of a mechanical model

Despite its simplicity, such a device very efficiently purifies water from various particles - silt, sand and other impurities. When buying, you should pay attention to its functionality, since there are several types of mechanical filters suitable for different operating conditions.

If the appliance was purchased for use in the kitchen, the installation highlights will be as follows.

A place

The surest option is to hide the device so that it is not noticeable. But you should also consider the following points:

1. The area for installing a water purification filter in the apartment should be slightly larger than necessary.
2. Installation should be made in such a way that the device is conveniently located, accessible for its maintenance. For convenient replacement of components, the recommended distance to the floor or surface should be 10-15 centimeters.
3. The device should be positioned so that it can be constantly monitored, since with a leak it is necessary to immediately diagnose the problem and take measures.
4. When installing this type of water treatment, do not use too long hoses. The shorter they are, the faster and better the filter will do its job.

Important! In the kitchen, large appliances are most often installed under the sink. But this is not the only true option, you can install the device in any convenient place, taking into account the recommendations, if it does not interfere with the owners.

Tee

Since water is used both for cooking and for food, and for technical needs, it makes no sense to use a purifier for all water. Therefore, the owners will need to consider distributing water to different taps - for consumption in food and for the economy. The place where the tee will be mounted for diluting water - each one determines independently, according to his needs.

Crane

The crane must be installed in front of the device. This is done so that when servicing the device, do not leave the whole house without water. By installing a tap in front of the device, you create the ability to shut off water only in your apartment.

Hoses

Hoses are installed in accordance with the instructions for the device. It is important to eliminate the possibility of leaks, so it is necessary to carefully seal the joints.

Check

After all installation steps, make sure that there are no leaks. Therefore, carefully turn on the water under a small pressure, gradually strengthening it.

Installing water filters in an apartment is a simple task, if you know exactly the type of device selected and correctly prepare for installation.

Reverse Osmosis System - Installation

The first thing to consider when installing this system is that it is installed only on cold water.

Important! The filter can be installed both vertically and horizontally. The main thing is to have easy access to it. The storage tank can also be delivered both vertically and horizontally.

How to install?

1. First you need to install the sidebar that comes with the system. At the same time, do not forget to shut off the water, and after installation, seal all connections.
2. Next, a clamp is placed on the sewer. To do this, a hole is made in the pipe, a protective gasket is made and a clamp is installed.
3. After the installation of the drive. The threads are sealed and manually installed crane.
4. After installation, the water supply is opened, and the tank is left to rinse for 15 minutes.
5. After the time has passed, the tank valves must be opened, and the tap with the incoming clean water is closed.

Stationary filters

Installation of these devices is very simple due to their popularity. Installation can be carried out on any surface, and a mixer is not needed to supply clean water, since the filter has its own.

Water treatment plant:

1. Installation is possible on a pipe with cold water.
2. It is important to choose the right place for a tap with clean water. Usually the second faucet is installed in the same sink as the faucet of a conventional mixer. In this case, leave a little space from the edge.
3. After installing the crane, a place is prepared for the filter. The most convenient thing is to arrange the filter so that it is next to the tap, and the hose does not have kinks.
4. Next, the filter is fixed: mark the surface for fasteners, make holes, shut off the water supply, disconnect the pipe and screw the filter. Then fix the pipes going to the mixer.
5. The final point is the mounting of the device to the wall, checking all the bolts and connecting the water.

Advice:

2. The filter nozzle is mounted on the crane. Depending on its structure, it can be installed on or without thread.

Important! It is important to note that nozzles for cranes can go separately from the kit. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention to this.
