Geyser washing machine filter

Water entering apartments contains a huge amount of salt and metal impurities, causing limescale, rust, and dirt to form inside household appliances. This particularly affects washing machines. There's a solution: the Geyser washing machine filter. What it is and how to use it will be discussed in this article.

Popular varieties

Filter manufacturers typically produce a wide range of models for various household appliances and perform various functions. We'll focus on two of the most popular filter models on the market: the Geyser 1P and the Geyser 1PF. What's the difference between them and what each model is designed for?

1P is a filter that removes impurities such as fine sand or silt, which can cause limescale deposits, from water. It is installed on the cold water pipe entering the apartment. This purifies all water entering the house, and therefore, the filter is suitable not only for washing machines but also for any other household appliances that come into contact with water, such as dishwashers.

A cartridge is inserted into the filter, in which all the fine impurities retained by the filter remain. Gradually the cartridge becomes clogged and needs to be replaced; it cannot be cleaned, this is how the system is designed.Among the filters produced on the modern market, this one has the best performance and is among the leaders.

The filter cartridge is made of foamed polypropylene, a leading insulating material. Its high density allows it to retain virtually any contaminant. The product's porosity is 5 microns.

The body itself is capable of withstanding pressure of 25-30 atmospheres, which will definitely allow it to cope with any water pressure in the pipeline.

The 1PF filter has a slightly different focus. While the previous one removes impurities like sand or silt, this one removes salt deposits that can later form scale. This problem typically affects the washing machine's heating element, so this filter would be very useful here. We'll discuss the 1PF's characteristics in more detail in the next section.

Geyser 1PF Review

The filter looks like a transparent flask with a lid and a rubber seal to ensure a tight connection to the water supply. This transparent part allows for monitoring the polyphosphate filter's flow rate. This filter consists of crystals of a soluble salt that, when combined with hardness salts, creates a chemical reaction that prevents scale buildup.

Important! Since salt crystals are soluble, their quantity decreases over time. Therefore, the filter must be periodically refilled. If the filter is completely filled, it will last for 365 washes.

Both Geyser washing machine filters are relatively inexpensive and effective. Users are pleased with the price-to-quality ratio, so if you're experiencing problems with scale, limescale, and dirt in your water, give them a try!
