The water filter candle is the heart of the faucet water filter. There are three common faucet filter candles on the market: stainless steel filter candle, ceramic filter candle and rollerfilter candle. The common feature of these three filter candles is that they are integral, and the entire core shaft is integrated, which is easy to install, maintain, and replace. The advantage of the ceramic filter candle is that it has less water pollution. Generally, high-quality faucets use ceramic filter candles. The pore size of the ceramic filter is 0.1 micron, which is slightly larger than that of the ultrafiltration material. It can filter out bacteria, heat sources, microorganisms and colloids in the water, and significantly reduce the turbidity in the water. The service life is 12 to 24 months.
