Review of water filters Aurus and Aruan

The quality of life of a modern person is made up of many factors. And not unimportant role is assigned to water. It is eaten, used to wash children, and is used on an industrial scale. Given the current environmental situation, it makes sense to think about purchasing a filter for water purification. And when deciding which water filter to choose, we suggest paying attention to Russian-made products - Aurus filters and Aruan industrial systems.

About Aurus cartridgeless filters

The Aurus water filter has earned interest from consumers and favorable reviews due to the fundamentally new purification technology used. It has no replacement cartridges. However, the filter surface is cleaned efficiently, thanks to certain design features, a mirror filter element and a self-cleaning system.

Depending on the modification, the filters are capable of cleaning from 1 to 1000 cubic meters. water per hour. At the same time, the demonstrated efficiency is from 10 to 1 micron. The difference in throughput, as well as the difference in dimensions, allows you to choose a suitable model for both private needs, for example, for placement in an apartment or in a country house, and in industrial enterprises. It is for the latter that Aruan filter systems are designed, assembled and installed, the purpose of which is industrial water treatment and water purification.

Russian-made filters are able to rid water of such impurities as peat, sand, clay. Heavy metals, chlorine, manganese, nitrates and nitrites will be neutralized. The water becomes less cloudy, gets rid of color and pathogenic bacteria.

Subtleties of cleaning with Aurus filters

The technology used in these devices involves the use of a string-membrane cartridge, which is unique in that it does not require replacement or additional service. This means that additional costs are excluded.

The filter elements are characterized by the absence of deep pores, the string independently removes contamination. Thanks to this, when flushing the filter, any deposits are easily washed off, and there is no need to change the cartridge.

Cleaning with Aurus filters involves 4 degrees:

1. Mechanical. It assumes a simple non-passage of impurity particles through the pores between the strings, because their size does not exceed 1 micron. Already at this stage, there is getting rid of clay, peat inclusions, various suspensions, rust, heavy metals, etc.
2. Bactericidal.This cleaning is carried out thanks to silver ions that cover the surface of the filter element. At this stage, the bactericidal flora is neutralized, pathogenic viruses and bacteria die.
3. Iron removal and water softening. This function is available thanks to the built-in magnetic transducer. As a result of its operation, the water becomes softer, and the equipment in contact with it is not at risk of limescale or yellow deposits.
4. Mineralization. The technology of using activated silicon allows to make water not only harmless, but even useful, as a result of which the composition is enriched with useful macro and microelements.

Advantages and disadvantages of Aurus filters

Before considering each model separately, let's dwell on the general advantages and disadvantages of filters.

• No change of cartridges is required, which saves about 5,000 rubles per year;
• All filters are small in size;
• The filters are flow-through, i.e. purify all water in an apartment or house.

• Once every 1.5 weeks, drainage of accumulated contaminants is required;
• Purification of water to drinking quality is available only if the original composition has an average level of contamination;
• If the concentration of heavy metals in the water is significantly exceeded, for complete purification, you will additionally have to purchase an Aurus flask or an Aruan column for iron removal, which entails additional financial costs.

Which filter to choose for an apartment or house

Video tips on how to choose a filter for a summer residence and a country house:

The choice of a filter for domestic needs should be done taking into account the area of ​​the room, the number of taps, plus an analysis of how many of them are used at the same time, as well as the number of people who constantly use water.

It is worth noting that each of the above filters has positive feedback from people who are already using this device. At the same time, the main advantage is, without exception, called "no need to change cartridges, just flushing is enough."

Industrial water treatment systems

All the advantages of cartridgeless filters can be used not only for domestic needs. An industrial-scale water purification system allows you to combine the mechanism so that water purification will be carried out taking into account:

• The nature of the production;
• Required productivity per hour;
• The nature and concentration of contaminants to be removed.

What the system includes and how it works: the necessary filters

The industrial water purification system Aruan involves several components of the entire cycle of raw water treatment. At each stage, the use of certain equipment is assumed.

Electrochemical aeration system

Aruan aerators are equipped with titanium generators that provide cavitation, as a result of which atomic oxygen is produced. Thanks to it, the dissolved heavy metals precipitate, settle and do not flow further. Plus, the task of this system is to remove various kinds of odors (hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, chlorine).

Aruan Titan aeration filters have various throughput from 1000 to 100,000 liters per hour, differing in size and price. The cost varies from 28 to 300 thousand rubles.

Ozonation system

Here, ozone and oxygen are produced, after mixing them with water, as a result of the ongoing chemical reaction, heavy metals such as lithium, fluorine, barium, zinc, and iron are converted into a precipitate. After that, this rust is removed by fine filters. Also, after that, industrial columns with iron backfills can be included in the process.

Ozonation also eliminates chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia odors, normalizes the ORP environment and ph level

The Artezian series ozonizer Aurus should also be selected taking into account individual parameters and required performance. The cost of the device varies from 30 to 450 thousand rubles.

Ultrafine mechanical filtration system

The principle of operation of this section of the system is identical to the technology used in the Aurus filters. String membrane cartridges are used here. The pore size between the strings, not exceeding 1 micron, literally stops the particles of impurities and suspensions, while allowing only water to pass through.

The operation of this system can be provided by Aurus filters, the advantages and disadvantages of which have already been indicated above. Or main filters of the Artesian and Aruan series can be used.They are distinguished from the Aurus line, first of all, by their high performance, dimensions and cost.

It is the performance and the absence of a replaceable cartridge, as an advantage, that form positive reviews for the Aruan water filter.

It is not difficult to determine the performance of the filter - the number in the name indicates the throughput in cubic meters. So the least productive filter of this series - Artezian 6 will cost 20,000 rubles, while the most powerful Aruan 100 will require financial investments in the amount of 450,000 rubles.

Water magnetic conversion system

Thanks to powerful magnets, water gets rid of hardness salts, calcium, magnesium. And the plumbing will not be covered with a layer of scale.

Interesting fact! With no limescale in the piping, energy costs are reduced by 15% as the water heats up faster.

Charging column system

This block is a post-treatment of water. As a backfill, various chemical elements can be used, as a result of contact with which the water will be rid of iron, pathogenic bacteria, oil products, gases and other dangerous contaminants.

Industrial columns with backfill are selected for inclusion in the system based on the required cleaning.

It can be:

• Columns with coal sorbent;
• Iron removal tanks;
• Devices for water softening.

Columns Aruan, like filters, differ in their cost, which is the sum of the performance of the device.

UV Sterilization System

The task of this system is the final treatment of water from pathogenic bacteria, viruses, excluding the possibility of their further reproduction.

This stage is provided with the help of lamps of radiation of the electromagnetic spectrum. As with other equipment, this device has 4 modifications, differing in throughput, from 1000 to 500000 liters per hour.

Ultraviolet sterilizers Aruan can be used not only in industrial systems, but also when installing the filter in ordinary apartments and private houses.

Advantages and disadvantages of Aruan industrial water purification systems

• The system is fully automated, control can be carried out remotely, and its performance is also remotely monitored;
• All materials used are Russian-made, developments are carried out by domestic scientists;
• Quality guarantee - 24 months;
• The development and assembly of the system is carried out taking into account the quality of the water to be treated, which means that the disposal of heavy metals and impurities present in any concentration is guaranteed.

• An industrial filtration system is an expensive project, its cost is from 2,500,000 to 10,000,000 rubles, which will create certain difficulties for the allocation of a budget line for the construction of a water treatment system for a settlement;
• Once every 5 years, the system requires maintenance (replacement of backfills and materials), which means that financial expenses are assumed;
• Individual development of a system for industrial water treatment and water purification leads to an increase in the cost of the system itself and the preparation of estimate documentation.

The choice of exclusively the Aurus filter for use in everyday life or the Aruan filter as an integral element of the industrial filtration system will allow to obtain water at the outlet, which will be free of harmful impurities and will meet the required standards.
