For many friends, when decorating a water purifier, they may struggle to determine whether to install it or not.

Most households nowadays may drink tap water. However, after the transportation of tap water through pipelines, there will inevitably be some pollution.

So, water purifiers have quickly gained the favor of many friends.

However, after a period of actual use, many problems were discovered.

I have been using a water purifier at home for almost three years, and in the end, I had to switch back to bottled water. Half a year after switching back to bottled water, I feel like these words are too true to express themselves.

Why did I choose a water purifier in the first place?

Currently, there are still many friends who choose to install water purifiers.

However, many friends, like me, didn't understand why they chose a water purifier and mistakenly installed it.

Later on, I pondered that the reason why I chose to install a water purifier was actually due to the following reasons.

The first reason why I installed a water purifier was because I saw someone else installing a water purifier in their home.

This is actually caused by following the trend.

Actually, many friends have a deep feeling about this. When decorating my home, I noticed that someone else had installed a water purifier in their house, and I felt like there was always something missing when I didn't install it.

So, many friends install water purifiers due to the following reasons:

Many people see that their friends have installed water purifiers in their homes, and then follow the trend to install them. In fact, the result of this following the trend effect is still very obvious.

Another reason is that there are certain factors for comparison. For example, my relatives have installed a water purifier at home, but I don't have one at home. I always feel inferior to others.

The second reason why I installed a water purifier was because I was worried about the water quality of the tap water not meeting the standard.

Because most areas now use tap water as their drinking water.

And tap water is treated by the water plant and then transported to various residential areas through the pipeline network, and then to various households.

In this process, it is difficult to avoid the pollution of tap water from the water plant during transportation.

Because when we use tap water at home, the following situations occur:

The water released contains a lot of impurities, so I have decided to install a water purifier.

Because if there is too much residual chlorine, there may be some harm. A water purifier can eliminate residual chlorine here, so it made me decide to install a water purifier.

The third reason why I installed a water purifier was that the price of the purifier was still acceptable.

Installing a water purifier also requires consideration of price factors.

With the increasing popularity of water purifiers, products and technologies are becoming more mature, and prices are also decreasing.

Currently, most common brands of water purifiers cost around 2000 yuan per unit.

So, for water purifiers, there are the following characteristics in terms of price:

A water purifier priced around 2000 yuan, I believe many friends can afford to install it at home and won't have too much burden.

Nowadays, the volume of water purifiers is very small, and they can basically fit under our sink. For most families, safety conditions are met.

What are the problems with the water purifier?

Since the water purifier has so many advantages, why are many friends complaining about it now?

In fact, this also demonstrates from another perspective that the drawbacks of water purifiers are also very prominent.

So what are the problems with water purifiers? What are the drawbacks?

The first typical problem with household water purifiers is the high usage cost.

Because a water purifier filters tap water and requires the consumption of its own filter element during use, it generates consumables.

Therefore, water purifiers are not only the cost of machines and installation, but also the cost of consumables for the filter element generated each year.

Most water purifiers have three sets of filter elements. Generally, it is replaced once a year, and all three sets of filter elements are replaced within three years. The cost incurred at this time is basically around 1000-1500 yuan.

Many friends may have overlooked this point, as the wastewater generated by the water purifier is still large. If you calculate it, you will find that the cost of wastewater per month is also quite high.

The second typical problem with household water purifiers is the hassle of replacing the filter element.

In fact, many friends buy household appliances and want to keep using them instead of replacing the filter or repairing them themselves.

A typical characteristic of this type of household appliance is that it may not be desirable when used. This includes water purifiers, air purifiers, fresh air fans, etc.

And replacing the filter element of the water purifier is indeed quite annoying.

Because when replacing the filter element of the water purifier, there are the following situations:

That is to say, its first set of filter elements usually need to be replaced once within a year. If we don't know how to change ourselves, it would be very troublesome. Changing twice a year can be even more frustrating.

When replacing, it is even more troublesome than the first set of filter elements. Like myself, I worked hard for nearly two hours, but in the end, it didn't change.

The third typical problem with household water purifiers is uneven quality.

We use water purifiers to solve the problem of substandard water quality in our homes.

However, the technical content of the water purifier itself is not particularly high. It relies on the filtration of the filter element to filter out some impurities inside.

So, there are various types of water purifiers on the market, which brings difficulties to our choice.

Because when choosing a water purifier, the following situations may occur:

For example, some friends spent tens of thousands of yuan on a water purifier, but in fact, its filter element is still a traditional filter element, so it feels like they have paid intelligence tax.

The price of this type of water purifier is very cheap, and the machine with a filter element may only cost a few hundred yuan. Replacing the filter element costs one to two hundred yuan at a time. However, quality cannot be guaranteed.

Why did I replace the "water purifier" with "bottled water"? How do you feel?

Water purifiers have both advantages and disadvantages.

If we analyze these advantages and disadvantages, we will find that if we have poor hands-on ability and use less water, using a water purifier is actually not cost-effective.

So, I eventually replaced the water purifier at home with bottled water.

After using bottled water for six months, I still have a deep feeling, mainly in the following three points.

After replacing the water purifier at home with bottled water and using it for six months, the first feeling is to choose more direct.

The so-called more direct choice is that when I go to buy bottled water, I can directly and clearly buy the water I need.

Barreled water actually comes in different types. For example, there are mineral water, pure water, and some have mountain spring water written on them.

For these different types of bottled water, the price per barrel varies. For example, there are 10 yuan per barrel, 15 yuan per barrel, 20 yuan per barrel, 25 yuan per barrel, and so on.

By comparing different types of water and different prices, we can better choose:

For example, we order 20 yuan per barrel of bottled water, which includes both a clear brand and specific ingredients of the water. When making a choice, one also has more confidence in their heart.

Because the bottled water we choose has a clear name, place of origin, inspection and other relevant information, it will be very reassuring to use.

After replacing the water purifier with bottled water for six months, the second deeper feeling is that the usage cost is indeed low.

For water purifiers and bottled water, we will definitely compare their usage costs.

The usage cost of the water purifier should be calculated clearly, including the cost of the machine and the cost of replacing the filter element every year.

In addition, the cost of the water purifier should also include electricity bills, as well as the cost of the generated wastewater.

And the cost of bottled water. The calculation is very simple, which is how much money was spent and how many barrels of water were bought.

After comparing the usage costs of water purifiers and bottled water, the following results are obtained:

The annual cost of using a water purifier is mainly calculated based on the cost of the filter element. The total cost of replacing all three sets of filter elements within three years is approximately 2000 yuan, with an annual cost of approximately 500-600 yuan. In addition, combined with the cost of the machine itself and the cost of wastewater, it is basically thousands of yuan per year.

Taking the bottled water used in my home as an example, we use ordinary purified water at 1.2 yuan/7.5L and mineralized water at 2.6 yuan/7.5L. According to the calculation of a family of three, the annual usage cost ranges from 1500L to 1800L (for pure drinking and cooking), ranging from 300-500 yuan.

After comparing the annual costs of using a water purifier and collecting bottled water, it can be seen that the overall cost of bottled water is relatively low. The annual cost of bottled water is about half of that of a water purifier.

After replacing the water purifier with bottled water for six months, the third deep feeling is that it is very worry free.

In fact, many friends eventually give up on water purifiers and choose bottled water, but the main reason is to save worry.

If a machine is installed and requires frequent maintenance and component replacement, it can be very frustrating. If you have poor hands-on ability and cannot handle it yourself, it becomes even more troublesome.

So, after comparing the water purifier and bottled water, I personally believe that bottled water is more worry free.

Because the feeling of using bottled water relative to a water purifier is as follows:

Unlike installing a water purifier in our home, we have to think about changing the filter element every year. If you don't know how to change, you need to make an appointment in advance. After switching to bottled water, just go and fetch water at any time.

We can order bottled water for delivery to our doorstep. Many communities now offer this service. We can order as many liters or barrels of bottled water as we want, and then call them to have them deliver it, which is very hassle free.
