What types of impurities are the high-precision PP cotton part of the PPC filter cartridge mainly responsible for removing?

The high-precision PP cotton part of the PPC filter cartridge can not only effectively remove the above-mentioned large particle impurities through its precise filtration mechanism, but also provide necessary protection for subsequent water treatment processes (such as RO membrane filtration) to ensure the safety of the entire water treatment system. Long-term stable operation, ultimately providing users with safe, clean, and good-tasting drinking water. Here’s a detailed description of its ability to remove impurities:
Suspended solids: These tiny particles can originate from a variety of factors including airborne dust, soil erosion, industrial emissions, and more. They not only affect the transparency of water, but may also carry harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. High-precision PP cotton uses its dense and uniform fiber network to form an effective barrier that can capture and retain these suspended particles, significantly improving the clarity and purity of water quality.
Sediment: Sediment levels in municipal water systems can increase significantly, especially during the rainy season or when there is construction activity near water sources. Sediment not only affects the taste, but may also clog pipes and filters. High-precision PP cotton effectively prevents sediment particles from passing through physical interception, protecting downstream equipment from wear and blockage.
Rust: Old or corroded water pipes are a major source of rust. Rust not only affects the appearance and taste of water, it can also pose a potential threat to human health. The fiber structure of high-precision PP cotton can tightly wrap rust particles to ensure that they will not continue to spread in the water flow.
Nematodes: Although most municipal water has been significantly reduced in microbial content after initial treatment, in some cases, such as contaminated or improperly treated water sources, it may still contain microscopic aquatic organisms such as nematodes. The filtration precision of high-precision PP cotton is enough to capture these tiny organisms, further ensuring the safety of drinking water.
Colloids: Colloidal particles are difficult to remove by traditional gravity settling or filtration methods due to their tiny size and charge stability. However, high-precision PP cotton, through its special fiber arrangement and surface properties, can effectively break the stability of colloids, causing them to aggregate, settle or be captured by fibers, thereby effectively reducing the colloid content in the water.
