Since 1996, the Russian-German company Novaya Voda has been creating devices for water purification, helping residents to become healthier, despite the deterioration of the environment. The products are characterized by high quality, uniqueness of applied technologies and elegant design.
The lineup
The following types of goods are presented on the market:
- filter jugs with a capacity of 1-4 liters;
- main filter New Water, installed at the point of entry of hot and cold water into the house;
- filters Praktic, Expert, installed in the kitchen under the sink;
- cleaning nozzles on the kitchen faucet;
- filtering devices with the latest technology of reverse osmosis Prio New water Expert Osmos;
- shower heads for the bathroom;
- softeners for cold, hot pipes.
Household filters are designed to free tap water from mechanical and chemical impurities that could remain due to poor-quality operation of treatment facilities or get into the process of transportation through pipes. Depending on the model, several cleaning steps are carried out:
- mechanical cleaning from suspensions of sand particles, rust;
- softening - filtration through a cartridge with ion-exchange resins, removes dissolved calcium and magnesium salts, which impart hardness to water;
- passing through a charcoal filter cleans the liquid from organic impurities, microorganisms and dissolved chlorine, which improves its color, taste, smell, and makes it fit for drinking without preliminary boiling;
- mineralization - saturation of pre-purified water with useful substances, brings it closer to natural in taste.
The Novaya Voda company has patented its own development of purification technologies using unique filter media (for example, shungite).
Depending on the model, the products use up to 6 stages of sequential water purification. The use of purified liquid increases the service life of washing machines, dishwashers, titanium and other household appliances. Drinking tap water is safe, tasty and healthy.
Filters are supplied assembled ready for connection. Supplied with detailed instructions, following which you can install yourself. When installing a main filter or a reverse osmosis system, it will take a little time and technical skills:
- Prepare the place where the device will be located: drill holes for fastening the filter modules, provide a place for the storage tank, remove a separate tap for drinking water.
- Shut off the water supply system, discharge residual water from the pipes by opening the tap; disconnect the pipe; if necessary, insert the tee into the system.
- Following the instructions, install all the components in sequence. For example, for a reverse osmosis system - a drainage sleeve, main and pump units. If necessary, seal the external valves with sealant.
To insure yourself against filter leaks in case of improper installation, you can resort to the services of a technical support specialist of the store where the product was purchased.
Criterias of choice
To select a filter, it is necessary to evaluate the following criteria for a specific situation:
- the degree of water pollution in the central water supply;
- the volume of liquid consumed by a family over a certain period: approximately 3 liters of drinking water per adult per day or 270 liters per family of three per month;
- availability of space in the kitchen for placement;
- the budget allocated for the purchase and maintenance.
When evaluating the criteria, first of all, it is necessary to be guided by the concern for your own health.
Advantages and disadvantages of filters New water
The advantage of the company is the presence of its own production facilities and a design office, thanks to which all types of household filters are produced - from a simple main filter to a new, electronically controlled reverse osmosis system.
Products are made of high quality materials in compliance with international requirements for reliability and product performance. The filters have hygienic and conformity certificates. The service warranty period is two to three years. Products are presented in all regions of Russia, as well as exported abroad: Belarus, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Serbia, Ukraine, Japan.
A noted disadvantage of reverse osmosis filters, which the manufacturer himself warns about, is a large consumption of cold water: for 1 liter of purified liquid, 1.5-2 liters of dirty liquid is drained into the sewer, for a month it is 500-600 liters or in monetary terms 10-20 rubles per depending on the region. To save water, some customers put the drain hose into the toilet cistern.
Feedback from experts and consumers
According to experts' reviews of Novaya Voda water purification filters, the Expert multistage system deserves the highest praise. It is twice as compact as comparable systems. The elegant rectangular body, only 8.5 cm thick, allows the filter to be placed both above and below the sink. Easily replaceable cartridges eliminate residual fluid leaks.
Consumers appreciate the modern design of devices, good taste of water, as well as a decent level of service and availability of components.
