Geyser filter for washing machine - review

Important!
CONTENT

Since salt crystals dissolve easily, their quantity in the filter device decreases over time.When using any washing machine, there is always a threat of destruction of its working units with tap water saturated with salts and containing suspensions of various impurities. For its effective cleaning, a special filter element. One of the most common types of cleaning devices is the Geyser filter for a washing machine, made using modern materials.

 

Filter device

The filter with polyphosphate loading Geyser consists of the following main parts:

  • The case is made of transparent plastic.
  • Inlet and outlet pipes located on its cover.
  • Filter element (special polyphosphate filler).

The transparent body of the cleaning device flask allows you to visually monitor the condition of the cold water loaded into the machine.

After treatment with sodium polyphosphate, the liquid changes its structure and is suitable only for technical purposes.

Important!
For the reasons stated above, this product is not used for filtering drinking water.

The built-in filter device is designed as a separate cartridge, the service life of which is indicated in the instructions for use or passport.

That is why it is recommended to replenish the filter container periodically. A flask fully loaded with filler is usually enough for 365 washes on average-capacity machines.

Effect of installing a filter

Hard water, saturated with a large number of various impurities, is the main cause of automatic washing machine failure.Because of it, the heating element most often fails, and over time a thick layer of scale appears on individual parts.

Poorly purified water, which contains sand and other suspended particles, reduces the service life of the drain pump, significantly reducing the quality of washing clothes. When installing the Geyser filter device, it is possible to obtain a positive effect, which consists of the following:

  • Reliable protection of the heating elements of washing machines from scale.
  • Reduced energy consumption.
  • Savings in the consumption of washing powder.
  • Extending the service life of the household appliance.

In addition, the use of a filter product creates conditions for gentle washing of clothes, after which they become softer due to the rejection of special detergents. At the same time, sodium polyphosphate binds iron dissolved in water, eliminating the possibility of yellow stains on the things washed in the machine.

Please note:
All of the listed positive qualities should be attributed to the advantages of using Geyser filters for washing machines. The range of filtering products offered by the domestic market is quite large, and the choice of the most suitable one depends on the user's preferences.

Installation procedure

 

In order to correctly install a cleaning filter at the inlet of the washing machine, it is not necessary to have professional skills. To perform this operation, you will only need an adjustable wrench and the product itself. The procedure in this case is as follows:

Both modifications of the Geyser filter, intended for washing machines and other equipment, are characterized by relatively low cost and sufficient efficiency. From an analysis of customer reviews on the use of filter elements of this type, it follows that a particularly attractive feature of the products is the optimal price-quality ratio.

First of all, you need to shut off the cold water supply to the apartment.

  • After this, you will need to unscrew the union nut of the inlet hose of the washing machine from a special branch of the water main with a 3/4″ thread.Because of it, the heating element most often fails, and over time a thick layer of scale appears on individual parts.

Reduced electricity consumption.

Saving washing powder consumption.

Extending the life of a household device.

The ease of connecting Geyser brand filters is explained by the coincidence of the threads found on the inlet hoses and on the connecting pipes of the product itself.

Accessories Thanks to this, no problems usually arise with its installation on a standard branch for an automatic machine.
Manufacturers of filter products of this brand produce a number of modifications used for various types of household equipment or performing other functions. Let's look at the two most popular varieties, represented by the Geyser 1P and Geyser 1PF samples, and find out what their difference is.

The filter includes a special cartridge that traps all fine impurities contained in the water carrier. Over time, this element becomes clogged and requires replacement (it cannot be cleaned or restored).

1 comment The device uses foamed polypropylene granules as a filler, which ensures high-quality purification from impurities (the porosity index is about 5 microns). The product body can withstand pressure up to 25-30 atmospheres, so any water pressure in the pipeline does not pose a danger to it.
This model of the cleaning device has a slightly different focus, since it is mainly intended for cleaning cold water from salt impurities. They are the main cause of scale on the heating elements of washing machines, for which this device is designed. The filter is made in the form of a transparent flask with a lid, which has an inlet and outlet pipe. The filler based on polyphosphate, when combined with the salts contained in hard water, enters into a chemical reaction with them, as a result of which the impurities are neutralized.
