Saludos amigos de la comunidad @homesolutions, espero estén disfrutando de un excelente fin de semana, lleno de positivismo y energía.

En esta oportunidad paso por acá para compartirles un trabajo sencillo pero necesario que le hice a nuestro filtro de agua potable, porque ya hacia bastante tiempo que no se limpiaba.

Este es un filtro purificador de agua marca Griven que elimina olores y sabores al agua, además sirve para eliminar partículas de arena o tierra que posea el agua. No trabaja con electricidad porque no hace tratamientos químicos al agua.

El mantenimiento que se le hace es bastante sencillo, basta con desenroscar la tapa de la base y sacar la parte interna que es donde se acumula el barro y las impurezas. Ese núcleo central está formado por una especie de malla de varios espesores para filtrar y desbarrar el agua.

Cuando saqué el núcleo me di cuenta que estaba de color amarillento y en el fondo de la taza tenia un poco de barro acumulado en forma pastosa.

Lo sumergí en una solución de agua con jabón y cloro por varias horas para que soltara el barro y las impurezas que tenía adheridas. Luego lo dejé secar y lo soplé para verificar que los poros del filtro habían quedado libres de partículas.

Finalmente lo coloqué nuevamente en su base, desconecté la manguera de la llave e hice limpieza también de esta conexión para evitar que se tape con las impurezas que trae el agua.
Como inicialmente les comenté es un trabajo muy sencillo que cualquiera puede hacer pero debe hacerse al menos una vez al mes para que el filtro funcione de manera correcta y ejerza su función de manera adecuada.

Gracias por la atención prestada y me despido hasta una próxima oportunidad, esperando que esta información sea de utilidad para todos.
Bendiciones para todos.

Water filter maintenance

Greetings friends of the @homesolutions community, I hope you are enjoying a great weekend, full of positivism and energy.

This time I come by to share with you a simple but necessary job that I did to our drinking water filter, because it has been a long time since it was cleaned.

This is a Griven water purifier filter that eliminates odors and flavors to the water, it also serves to remove particles of sand or dirt that the water has. It does not work with electricity because it does not make chemical treatments to the water.

The maintenance that is done is quite simple, just unscrew the lid of the base and remove the inner part which is where the mud and impurities accumulate. That central core is formed by a kind of mesh of various thicknesses to filter and de-sludge the water.

When I removed the core I noticed that it was yellowish in color and at the bottom of the cup there was some mud accumulated in a pasty form.

I submerged it in a solution of soapy water and chlorine bleach for several hours to loosen the mud and impurities that were stuck to it. Then I let it dry and blew it out to verify that the pores of the filter were free of particles.

Finally I put it back on its base, disconnected the hose from the faucet and also cleaned this connection to prevent it from getting clogged with impurities from the water.
As I initially told you, it is a very simple job that anyone can do but it should be done at least once a month so that the filter works properly and performs its function properly.

Thank you for your attention and I bid you farewell until next time, hoping that this information will be useful for everyone.
Blessings to all.
