Water is the source of life, and it is an important resource for our survival. In recent years, with the rapid development of economy, while bringing us economic benefits, the pollution of air and water resources is becoming increasingly serious. Like the place I live in now, because it is a small city with steel as the main industry, after decades of development, although the local living standard has been improved to a certain extent, the damage to the environment is also very serious. As far as drinking water is concerned, I remember when I was a child, tap water could be drunk directly and was slightly sweet, but now tap water has long been used only as washing water, with a strong smell of bleach powder, and drinking water is basically bottled water. As people pay more and more attention to their own health, water purifier products have emerged at the historic moment. In fact, water purifiers have existed for a long time. After continuous updating over the years, coupled with the continuous deterioration of our living environment, they are gradually known by everyone in recent years. Today I share with you a cool frog water purifier MAX-RO. Its biggest feature is simple installation and easy replacement of filter element. Now I will share with you in detail through the ease of installation, water purification effect, waste water ratio and replacement of accessories, so that you can have a true and comprehensive understanding of this purifier.

appearance:

Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO uses a blue paper packaging box. The overall design is very simple. On the upper left corner of the front is the logo of Cool Frog and the model of the water purifier. On the side of the packaging box is a label with information about the product name, model, weight, color and manufacturer.

After opening the packing box, the top floor is neatly placed with the water purifier's accessory box, double cut quick connect faucet and instructions. The box is rich in accessories and small tools, and the installation of the water purifier can be easily completed without using other tools.

The overall design of the Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO is also very simple. There is only a logo of Cool Frog in the middle of the front. It is cuboid shaped, and the overall weight is only 6.5kg. It can be easily moved by users. This model in my hand is gold, and its color is similar to that of the local luxury iPhone.

There is an OLED display screen at the bottom right corner of the top of the fuselage, which can display information such as inlet and outlet TDSA and filter element usage. At the bottom of the screen are two touch buttons for flushing and resetting, and above the button is a hidden indicator light.

There are also two embedded handle designs in the middle of the lower left and right sides of the fuselage, which can facilitate the mobile operation of the water purifier. There are two two-dimensional codes on the lower left side of the right side of the fuselage, which can be used to set the equipment online. The specific operations will be described in detail in the later experience.

The interface and filter element of the water purifier are concentrated at the rear of the machine body. The MAX-RO water purifier adopts a four stage full effect filtration design. Most areas on the left are occupied by the filter element. There is a label on the right side of the filter element, which is a brief introduction to the water purifier and instructions on the replacement of the filter element; At the lower left corner of the back of the fuselage is a power socket, and at the lower right corner from left to right are concentrated water, clean water and water inlets.

Cool frog water purifier MAX-RO has 1 # PP cotton filter element, 2 # pre activated carbon filter element, 3 # reverse osmosis RO membrane filter element and 4 # post activated carbon filter element. The filter element adopts a transverse rotation design, and can be taken out with a twist, which is convenient for users to quickly replace the filter element. The replacement cycle of PP cotton filter element is 3 to 6 months, and the replacement cycle of pre activated carbon filter element is 6 months, The replacement cycle of RO membrane filter element is 18 months, and the replacement cycle of post activated carbon filter element is 12 months. Of course, these are official data, which will vary according to the local water quality and actual use.

The bottom four corners of the water purifier are designed with silicone anti-skid pads, which can allow the machine to adapt to more different desktop environments. The fixing screws of the body are also placed at the bottom, which can increase the beauty of the whole machine.

The front panel of the Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO can be easily removed. With this detachable design, we can see that the official is quite confident about their own products. There are magnetic suction points on the four corners of the front panel, which can fix the front panel and the body together. After removing the front panel, we can see some simple structures inside the machine, and the internal interface and wiring layout are relatively regular.

Installation:

The size of the MAX-RO water purifier is 340mm * 310mm * 210mm. For this size, the current purifier products are only of medium size, but not compact. For this kind of platform type water purifier, no matter whether the volume is large or small, it still needs to occupy a certain space. Of course, if you don't like this design, you can directly choose the platform type water purifier.

The installation of the Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO is very simple. I believe that most users can easily complete it. In fact, the main work is mainly focused on the installation of the double cut quick connect gap. First, unscrew the bubbler on the original faucet, and then select a suitable adapter from the accessories. Note that you must use the small wrench in the accessories to tighten it. If there is no water leakage, I did not pay attention to it and reworked it again the first time.

After the connection of the double cut faucet is completed, insert the PE hose into the corresponding sockets one by one according to the small label on the pipe, and then insert the water inlet, water purification outlet and concentrated water outlet. So far, the whole installation process of the water purifier is completed, and then it can be used after being powered on. It is also important to fix the PE pipe of the concentrated water, because the outlet pressure of the concentrated water is still very high during the flushing operation.

After the power is turned on, the Cool Frog logo on the top of the front panel will turn into a green breathing indicator, and the OLED display on the top will display the words "more intelligent and simpler". Through this screen, we can not only check the TDS value of water in and out, but also check the current use of the filter core.

Before using the water purifier for the first time, it is necessary to carry out the flushing operation. Click the reset button twice to enter the flushing interface. Click the flushing button to start the flushing operation. The default flushing operation is 10 minutes. Normal use can only be carried out after two flushing operations.

Experience:

Cool frog water purifier MAX-RO adopts the design of double cut quick connect faucet. Just twist the knob at the front of the faucet, we can quickly switch between purified water and tap water as required, which is more convenient and practical.

Before testing the purification capacity of this water purifier, we first conducted a simple test on the tap water at home. It can be seen that the TDS value of tap water has reached 345, indicating that the dissolved solids in the water have reached a slightly higher level, which is why there is always a peculiar smell in the tap water at home, At present, most of our families have taken bottled water as daily drinking water.

Above, we have a simple understanding of the installation and filter element replacement of this cool frog water purifier MAX-RO, but for a water purifier, its water purification effect should be the concern of most users. The above four cups of water are respectively purified water, concentrated water, tap water and barreled water. If only from the appearance, these kinds of water are basically the same, which is difficult for ordinary users to distinguish.

The TDS detector pen in hand was used to test the four cups of water, and the TDS results were: 18 for purified water, 455 for concentrated water, 343 for tap water, and 17 for barreled water. If you look at the value alone, the purification ability of this cool frog water purifier MAX-RO is very good, and it can purify tap water with a TDS value of up to 343 into purified water with a TDS value of only 18, It is on the same level as the barreled water we often buy now, so we can not buy barreled water in the future.

The use method of Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO is simple. When the tap is turned on, the water purification mode will be automatically turned on. The official water purification flow is 0.7L/min. Through the actual test, it takes about 15 seconds to fill a glass of water. While producing pure water, the water purifier must produce a certain amount of waste water. After practical experience, a full cup of concentrated water can produce more than half a cup of pure water. The ratio of pure water to concentrated water is about 1:1.5, which is acceptable.

The OLED screen on the top of the MAX-RO water purifier of Kuwa can display the real-time TDS value of inlet and outlet water. After comparing the value of a water purifier after a period of operation with the test value of the TDS test pen, it can be seen that the TDS value of outlet water is displayed more accurately, but there is a slight gap between the TDS value of inlet water and the test value. It should also be noted that when the water purifier produces 5L of water each time, it can continue to produce water without shutting down the machine. However, when the machine is restarted, it needs to be flushed before normal purification can continue.

Finally, a simple test was carried out for the working noise of the MAX-RO water purifier. The noise was about 66.5dBA, and the running noise of the machine could be clearly felt when working.

Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO also supports remote data management function. You can view remote data through the official WeChat official account of Cool Frog to learn the working status of the water purifier in real time. Before using this function, you need to connect and bind the machine first, enter the official Kuwa Wechat, select the "Device List" option, and then select the "Add New Device" option. You can quickly complete the device binding operation according to the system prompt. After the water purifier is successfully bound, a WiFi icon will appear in the upper right corner of the display screen on the top of the body.

Through the public account of Kuwa WeChat, we can learn about the water quality before and after purification in real time, and also have a comprehensive understanding of the details of water use. You can check it by week or month to learn about the daily or weekly water use, and have a detailed understanding of the water use at home.

In addition to understanding the water quality and water use of the water purifier, the mobile phone terminal can also have a real-time understanding of the filter element status. After entering the details interface of a single filter element, you can not only understand the location, function and remaining life of the filter element, but also directly enter the official filter element sales interface through the "one button purchase" button, which is convenient for users to purchase, There is no need to look elsewhere.

Conclusion:

After nearly a week's use experience, the appearance design of the Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO is simple and easy to install, the water inlet and outlet data can be controlled in real time, the double tap can be switched between purified water and tap water at will, and the water purification effect is also very good. In addition to the above advantages, this machine still has some shortcomings. Finally, let's go on to personal practical experience and make a brief summary.

Shortcomings&Suggestions:

Although the volume of the Cool Frog Water Purifier MAX-RO is not large, it is not small. It is suggested that the size of the body can be further optimized;

The working noise of the water purifier is quite obvious, which is actually related to the lack of corresponding sound insulation treatment inside. I hope it can be optimized later;

As an intelligent water purifier, it can only perform some simple data viewing operations, which is still slightly monotonous. If some remote control functions can be added, it should be more intelligent;

At present, Kuwa water purifiers are all designed on the platform. It is suggested to introduce the under kitchen type, which can facilitate users to choose according to their actual needs.
