Water softener filters for washing machine

Many washing machines, contrary to the declared service life of the manufacturer, fail after a couple of years. The main reason for such a quick breakdown may be too hard water entering the washer. When heating water, small impurities contained in it begin to settle on the main parts of the machine: heater, drum, various valves and other elements. To avoid such negative effects, it is better to install a filter to soften the water. We present you a brief overview of reliable and high-quality filters.

Geyser 1PF

First of all, I want to talk about the domestic device, which has long won the trust of consumers. Geyser 1PF is a polyphosphate filter device that serves to protect the SMA from the appearance of scale and the formation of corrosion on the internal parts of the washing machine.

The filter can be used to soften water, both for household appliances and for plumbing. It has one cleaning step. It is exclusively suitable for cold water, because if the temperature of the liquid passing through the device exceeds 40 ° C, the polyphosphate filler will cease to be effective.

The housing of the filter element is made of transparent materials, this will allow the user to easily control the rest of the filler in the flask and, if necessary, top up the reagent in a timely manner. The 1PF geyser is connected directly to the water pipe, in front of the inlet hose of the washing machine, due to the standard dimensions of the inlet fitting, installation is free, without auxiliary adapters.

The main drawback noted by users is the not-well-thought-out design of the device. Operation of the softening filter should occur exclusively in an upright position, but it happens that it is not possible to fix the element in this way. Before buying, we advise you to pay attention to this point.
