Due to the technical characteristics of cross-flow filtration, the reverse osmosis water purifier will definitely discharge concentrated water (commonly known as "wastewater"). In the industry, the term "wastewater ratio" is often used to refer to the utilization rate of water.
Then, the "water efficiency" in the national standard "Water Purifier Water Efficiency Limits and Water Efficiency Grades" (GB 34914-2021) (hereinafter referred to as the water efficiency standard) is the same as the "wastewater ratio" in the industry. What? What is the difference between the two?

01 Different test conditions and normative
The "wastewater ratio" is only an approximate ratio. The "water efficiency" needs to be tested in strict accordance with the test conditions stipulated in the "Water Efficiency Standard" before it can be rated.

02 Nominal requirements are different

"Wastewater ratio" does not require a label. After the implementation of the water efficiency standard, each reverse osmosis water purifier must be marked in a prominent position.


03 Representation is different

The "wastewater ratio" is expressed in a proportional way, for example, 1 part of purified water is produced and 1 part of concentrated water is discharged, and the "wastewater ratio" is expressed as 1:1. The "water efficiency" is expressed as a percentage. If the water efficiency is 60%, it means that the purified water obtained from the raw water is 60%, and the proportion of concentrated water discharged is 40%.


04 Different minimum limit requirements

After the implementation of the new water purifier water efficiency standard, the water purifier products on the market must meet the minimum level 3 water efficiency (45%) requirements. That is to say, "water efficiency" has minimum limit requirements, while "wastewater ratio" has no minimum limit requirements.
The above are some of the differences between "wastewater ratio" and "water efficiency". Another point to note is that both "wastewater ratio" and "water efficiency" are only applicable to reverse osmosis water purifiers.

05 Different meanings

The so-called "water efficiency" refers to the utilization efficiency of water resources, which is the ratio of the amount of purified water obtained to the total amount of water resources consumed. The water consumed by the water purifier for flushing is taken into account.

The "wastewater ratio" only examines the ratio of the flow rate of purified water to the flow rate of concentrated water discharged during water production by reverse osmosis membrane. It is enough to reflect the utilization efficiency of water resources, but only an operating parameter of the reverse osmosis water purifier.

The emergence of water purifiers, so that the way of drinking water redefined, the emergence of water purifiers is because the water quality continues to change and the emergence of a way of drinking water; from the ability to drink the river water well water to the tap water to the bucket of water, to the current exceptionally hot water purifier market, is the environment affects the way of drinking water change rather than artificial to speak of this market hype up; like cell phones, because people really need, so the market is Will be hot, if put into a few years ago, the cell phone market is also the need for everyone to introduce.

We all know that in developed countries, water treatment technology is very advanced, the street just twist open a faucet can be directly drinking water, very convenient. Comparison of China, in recent years, with the industrial development, groundwater pollution is more serious, the residents of the daily drinking water can only be bottled water or water purifier-based. In these two competing ways of drinking water, household water purifiers will further replace the bottled water market?

In this regard, Susan will analyze for you. In the current drinking water environment, is still dominated by bottled water, although the water purifier will to a certain extent impact the bottled water market, but want to completely beyond is very difficult to realize, this is because bottled water has a variety of water purifier does not have the advantage.
