According to statistics, 80% of the diseases and more than 30% of the deaths in China are related to polluted water. As people attach great importance to "drinking water safety", the water purifier industry is also growing. Data shows that the average annual growth rate of China's water purifier industry is more than 40%, becoming the fastest growing industry in household appliances and even the entire household industry, with a market scale of more than 100 billion yuan. The huge market demand has attracted the attention of investors and Internet companies. In the first half of this year, Xiaomi launched its "Xiaomi Water Purifier", which launched a new battle with its unique packaging techniques, making the war in the water purification industry more and more fierce. Haier's smart faucet, the world's first smart faucet water purifier, joined the war. It not only redefines water purifier products, subverts a series of problems such as small size, expensive price and complicated installation of traditional water purifiers, and makes other brands of water purifiers in the market totally abused!

Unpacking

Haier's smart clean faucet package seems to be relatively large. There is a sample picture of the clean faucet on the front. The overall package is relatively simple. There are sketches of the clean faucet on both sides of the package. I don't know whether the package is weak or the delivery is too violent. The package box of the author was damaged by the express company.

The information label of the product is on the side. Here we can see that the packaging box of the product is in the form of a drawer, which is more like our common drawer. Although there is no drawer like handle, there is a starting point on the package of the clean faucet, which can facilitate us to take out the packaging box inside

As for the inner packaging of the product, all parts of Haier Intelligent Clean Faucet are embedded into the blue sponge layer, which can well separate each part of the product and prevent friction and loss of the parts; List of all product parts.

The water purification filter element is the largest one among the components. It is a cylindrical shaped component. The bottom is the water outlet of the water purification faucet, and the side is the interface connecting the switch. The raw water flows into the water purification filter element from this interface. On the top, there is a button, on which a button cell is installed for the work of the intelligent system of the water purification faucet. There is a work indicator light opposite the button. On the other side is Haier's logo.

open Later, it can be seen that the middle is still a relatively simple design. A purification filter element in the middle is packaged by a shell. However, the author is more concerned about whether tap water will flow from the edge of the shell to the water outlet, without essence, it will flow out directly. However, a careful look at the rubber ring at the bottom can tell that the water that is not filtered will not flow out directly at the water outlet. Therefore, there is no need to worry that the water quality cannot be directly purified.

The author has never known what this extra accessory is, but later learned that it is one of the water purification filter elements. The water purification filter element of the whole water purification faucet consists of three independent filter elements: ultrafiltration filter element, activated carbon filter element, and small PPcotton filter element. There is just a place in the water purification faucet that can prevent this filter element, Maybe this filter element is also part of the clean faucet

Just rotate the top to open the battery button cover, and install the battery to open the faucet only switch. At this time, the working indicator lights of the clean faucet are not listed one by one.

The switch, one of the components of the clean faucet, is this gadget. The most obvious thing is that there is a blue transparent connecting nut on the switch. The gray part is the switch. I use the switch to switch whether the water is purified or not. There is a Haier logo on the front. There is a water outlet at the bottom. The water flowing out here has not been purified, but what I don't like is why the gap between the raw water flowing out here is so large, and the water flowing out is very messy, which is not suitable for Virgo like me. The interface part of the switch is connected to the water purification filter element. Here we can see that the interface between the switch and the water purification filter element is only the recommended interface, and water leakage is easy to occur. We can see that there is a milky rubber ring inside, which is the secret of preventing water leakage.

Adapter, adapter of clean faucet. Haier is equipped with four adapters of different models, which can be used by users in different faucet scenarios. However, the author was troubled by these adapters for a whole noon. The author searched all the faucets at home and dismantled them, but failed to find suitable faucets for installation

Universal connector, as its name implies, can use a variety of different types of connectors, namely the connector of the tap. What we can see here is a screw thread connector, and the lower part is a German style offset hose clamp. This clamp has the characteristics of convenient use, easy operation, firmness and reliability, and is mainly used for connecting hoses, taps, etc., and the other is a part used to accept the tap, There are two rings of rubber inside, which can solve the problem of water leakage.

These five pieces of filter are like paper. They are filter pieces, but they are made of silk instead of paper. They have the filtering effect of paper, but they are several times stronger than paper and are not easy to break

Dismantle the switch of the faucet. What we can see is that a filter screen is installed under the connecting nut. Below the filter screen is a filter piece mentioned above. The filter screen on the rubber side can well connect with the adapter. Just connect the adapter directly. However, it is recommended to find a suitable adapter and then connect the adapter to the switch.

Installation and use

Install the universal street to the faucet that needs water purification effect. As mentioned by the author here, the use of the German style offset hose clamp can be simply fastened to the faucet. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws of the German style offset hose clamp to adjust the appropriate tightness

Then install the switch and filter element together with the adapter onto the universal joint. However, the author recommends that you first put on the connecting nut, install the adapter onto the universal joint, then install the switch, and finally install the purification filter element. This is easier to operate. If you use a tap like the author's, if you directly use the connected water purification filter element The switch and adapter are connected together to the universal joint, so the adapter cannot be tightened well. Another way is to install all the accessories. It is also possible to directly connect the faucet and universal joint

Haier water purification faucet can also switch whether to purify water quality. As long as the switch is turned on, the real-time water purification function can be realized. When you want to purify water quality, you can purify water quality. When you don't need to purify water quality, you can not use the water purification function, and extend the service life of the water purification filter element. In the case of purified water or not, the author prefers to purify water quality, not because of anything else, Let's take a look at the effluent of the two. The effluent of the water purification effect is even, but the effluent of the water purification effect is scattered, which is not in line with the author's style.

Now all smart devices are used with one APP, so this time Haier's smart faucet also has an APP. However, the author did not find it on the packaging box or the trial manual, only a download link. The author is depressed, and it is not good to get a QR code? After downloading the APP, the author wants to explain why he is not authorized to log in, which means that the author needs to register an account to log in and use the APP, which is the login and personal setting interface.

On the homepage of Haier Smart Water APP, new users need to add devices first, connect with mobile phones through Bluetooth function, find devices and operate the connection. If the user has multiple Haier Smart Water faucets in his home, he still suggests changing the name of the device, which happens to be available in Haier Smart Water APP, Users can better understand the water purification and service life of each equipment.

In terms of the use of water purification faucets, in order to grasp the service life of filter elements at the first time, Haier Wise Water APP also has a set of optional filter element packages, which can respond to different water quality according to different filter element combinations. However, for those like the author who give away one more type of filter element, the intelligent selection of customized filter element combinations, the author can choose two types of filter elements at will, After all, the author does not know which two filter elements are attached. However, users can choose the type of filter element independently.

For the purification function of water quality, the user interface here can still see, for example, the author uses groundwater, which can be seen that the water quality here is equivalent to the water quality of the reservoir. For the current water quality analysis, the water quality of 118TDS, we can see that the popularity of TDS, we can see that the water quality in my home is not very ideal

The author uses a disposable cup to fill a cup of raw water and a cup of purified water, tests the water quality, and uses a meter of TDS water quality detection pen to test the water quality. The result is that the TDS values of the two water quality are almost the same. It seems that this smart faucet is useless.

These two pictures show the effect of the author's use of millet intelligent water purifier to filter the raw water and purified water of tap water. It can be seen that the TDS value is almost the same, so the water purifier cannot filter the ion concentration in the purified water

summary

Here, the author would like to share some knowledge with users. TDS and water quality are two different concepts. TDS is only one of many water quality indicators. TDS is mainly used to detect the quality of purified water, distilled water, RO membrane (reverse osmosis membrane) water purifier effluent. It mainly reflects the concentration of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+plasma in the water, which has a good corresponding relationship with the hardness and conductivity of the water, so that the bacteria in the water exceed the standard and the concentration of heavy metal ions exceed the standard. As long as the concentration of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+plasma dissolved in the water decreases, The TDS value will also decrease. TDS can only judge the amount of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+plasma in the water, not the index for judging the quality and safety of water. Therefore, TDS water quality detector pen is used to intelligently test the ion concentration in water, so it can only indicate that Haier intelligent cleaning faucet cannot purify the ion concentration in water.

Finally, let me talk about the use effect! Haier intelligent water purifying faucet is really simple and convenient to install, and its volume is much smaller, which is much better than ordinary water purifiers. If the effect is good, the author can't provide too much information to users, which only means that the author has less equipment and can't reflect the water purifying effect very well. However, the author believes that, No company will spend a large price to create a product with no practical function to fool users, which will only play a bad role in Haier's well-known brand. Therefore, the author believes that this product is truly available. In terms of price, 399 can be said to roll over a series of water purifiers in terms of price. It can be said that Haier's intelligent water purification faucet redefines the product of water purifiers and subverts a series of problems of traditional water purification products.
