Glossary of Water Terms

As an inorganic, odorless, nearly colorless, and transparent substance, water exists in three states: liquid, solid, and gaseous. At room temperature, water remains a liquid, however, at freezing it turns solid, and beyond 200 degrees Celsius it turns into a gaseous state. Water is a chemical element represented by the formula H20, and is comprised of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Other substances, essential to life itself, also dissolve into water, regardless of the inherent lack of organic nutrients.

How to Change Your Whirlpool® Refrigerator Water Filter

Refrigerators manufactured by Whirlpool® feature a water filter (where applicable) that needs replacement every six months, if not sooner, depending on use. Once you begin to let water filters in your fridge sit unreplaced for too long, the water will become tinged with a scent, cloudiness, and more. Before you begin noticing the aforementioned issue, or see black spots in your water, it’s imperative that you keep to a tight replacement schedule. Otherwise, you may begin to notice smaller ice cubes, water that’s slow to drain, and more.

What Is Ultrafiltration Membrane And How Does It Work?

Ultrafiltration(UF) is a physical filtration process that uses home water pressure to push water through the semipermeable membrane to get rid of particles larger than membrane pore size in water.
The ultrafiltration membrane utilized during the filtration process is a kind of hollow fibers with pore size ranging between 0.01 to 0.1 micron, which is several thousand times smaller than a human hair.
While water feeds in, the particles larger than the pore size would be retained on the surface of the membrane, whereas water and beneficial minerals that are smaller than the pore size would pass through and become the drinkable water.

If you're wondering what a reverse osmosis filter system is in terms of your drinking water, Waterdrop is here to provide you with all the information you need.
Given the way our society works and the way in which our civic system is set up, we all need to rely on a finite number of sources for our drinking water. For most people, that involves using water that's provided by the local water utility, and for some that means drinking from a private well. Regardless, one thing that everyone has in common is the fact that most water that comes from our faucets, if not treated, is not very clean and in some cases unhealthy. In certain situations, untreated drinking water can be dangerous if consumed in large quantities.

Can you tell apart the traditional reverse osmosis system and the tankless reverse osmosis system? What are their differences in terms of flow rate, waste water and so on? Waterdrop will list every detail about it.
Technology is driving a lot of changes in recent times. This puts commercial businesses in a vital position to either follow the trend or be left behind. Talking about following the trend, most businesses are yet to adopt smart design-based reverse osmosis purification systems over the former traditional methods. Why? Because only a few of these companies know about the existence of these better water filtration technologies.
At commercial levels, water purification is now a smoother experience, thanks to these modern, SMART filtration solutions. From the availability to the supply, use, and maintenance, the superiority of the tech-backed commercial water purifiers has relegated the traditional RO water purification methods to the background.

Refrigerator Water Filter for a Medium-Sized Family

What's the right refrigerator water filter for a medium-sized family? Waterdrop has your breakdown right here!
Every family drinks quite a bit of water every day, and much of it is consumed by way of cooking. We all understand that water needs to be clean and free of impurities in order to maximize its benefits, but removing these problematic substances can also protect people from potential short and long-term health risks. Over the years, people in general have changed their approach to how they consume water in the home. For generations, tap water was seen as a fine choice, but over time, infrastructures began to break down and impurities began to find their way into our drinking water.
That prompted families to look elsewhere, and that led to the introduction of delivery services that provide clean drinking water at regular time intervals and, of course, water was sold in enormous amounts in plastic bottles. Recently, environmental concerns have emerged with regards to bottled water, but it's still sold in staggering volumes. EcoWatch published a report in 2017 that showed that consumers purchase approximately 1 million plastic bottles of liquid per minute around the world, or 20,000 bottles per second. Not all of these bottles contain water, but most would agree that this is not a good option for the planet for obvious reasons.
