1. Mechanism of operation of RO water purifiers
Understanding RO water purifiers
Coex water purifiers are equipped with RO filtration membranes.
RO water purifiers are equipped with ultra-small membrane filters that can remove impurities such as sediment, pesticides, heavy metals, harmful bacteria, and viruses, while adding beneficial minerals, ensuring clean and safe drinking water.
RO technology relies on the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet water to push water through the filtration cores, ranging from coarse to fine filtration. The filtration process removes up to 99.9% of bacteria, ions, heavy metals, providing clean, directly drinkable water without the need for boiling.

The incoming water source passes through filter cartridge 1, which prevents sediment, rust, and then proceeds to filter cartridge 2. In filter cartridge 2, there is activated carbon capable of absorbing heavy metals, organic compounds, pesticides, and harmful substances in water. Next, water will pass through filter cartridge 3, which removes sediment, impurities, heavy metals larger than or equal to 1 micron.
Then, the water continues to be filtered through filter cartridge 4 - the RO membrane. This membrane is manufactured in the USA and has the ability to remove solids, metal ions, heavy metals, microorganisms, bacteria, and organic compounds, making the water pure and also supplementing beneficial minerals for the body.
It can be affirmed that the RO membrane is the most important component of the water purifier system.
Does a water purifier consume electricity?
To address the question of whether water filters consume electricity, let's calculate the amount of electricity consumed by a water filter in a year below.
The electricity consumption of RO water filters is a common concern for many people.
For example, an average person will consume 2 liters of water per day, and a water filter will consume about 0.03 kW. Using 1 kW of electricity will cost about 2,000 VND (calculated at the average state electricity price).
The formula for calculating electricity costs in 1 year for a person consuming 2 liters of water per day is as follows: Take 0.03 kW/h (electricity consumed by a water filter for 2 liters of water per day) x 365 days x 2,000 VND/kW = 22,000 VND/year.
If a family has 4 members, the amount of electricity to be paid for the operation of the water filter in 1 year is: 0.03 x 4 x 365 x 2000 = 87,600 VND/year.
From the amount paid in 1 year as calculated above, it can be affirmed that using a water filter does not incur significant electricity costs as people think. Compared to using gas, electricity for boiling, cooling water, or buying purified water, using a water filter will save a lot more.
Therefore, you don't need to worry about electricity costs when using a water filter anymore.
3. Tips for using a water filter without consuming electricity?
Water filters do not consume much electricity, but if not used and maintained properly, they can affect the machine's durability and increase electricity consumption. Here are some tips for using a water filter to save electricity:
Water filters need to be placed in a dry, ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight that can cause damage.
Replace water filter cartridges regularly to maintain a abundant clean water source and increase the durability of the water filter. If the water filter cartridges have exceeded their lifespan, they will accumulate a lot of dirt around the cartridges, causing water to flow slowly and insufficient for use. Moreover, expired cartridges also affect the remaining cartridges' productivity and lifespan.
Find and buy water filters from reputable brands with clear origins such as Kangaroo, Coex, Karofi,... to ensure quality and avoid unnecessary expenses during use. In addition, to ensure not to buy counterfeit or poor-quality products, with long-term warranty policies and after-sales service, it is advisable to purchase from large, reputable electronics stores such as Mytour.
Users should maintain the machine regularly to ensure smooth, stable operation, and save electricity.
Turn off the hot and cold functions of the machine when not in use.
In addition, users should also pay attention to the machine's placement. Avoid placing the machine in high-temperature areas, direct sunlight, or damp places.
