The Anespa DX external cartridge is the first line of defense in the entire system, primarily responsible for "purifying" water quality. Here is a detailed description of its structure and functions:
Core Structure
The external cartridge mainly consists of activated carbon fiber and includes tourmaline.
- Activated Carbon Fiber: It has a large surface area and an adsorption capacity far superior to ordinary granular activated carbon, quickly capturing chemicals in the water.
- Tourmaline Ceramic: This natural mineral can produce negative ions, fine-tuning water molecules in advance, aiding the ionization process of the internal cartridge.
Main Functions
- Chlorine Removal: This is the core function. Chlorine can dry out skin and damage hair. This cartridge can remove over 95% of chlorine from tap water.
- Impurity Filtration: Effectively intercepts rust, sand, silt, and large organic pollutants in pipes.
- Deodorization and Taste Improvement: Removes musty or chemical odors from water, making bathwater fresh and odorless.
Lifespan and Replacement
- Replacement Cycle: It is recommended to replace it once a year.
- Water Quality Impact: If the local water quality is poor (e.g., old buildings, severely rusted pipes), the cartridge may saturate earlier. When the bathwater begins to smell of chlorine or the water flow noticeably decreases, it indicates a need for replacement.
- Physical Characteristics: Its casing is usually white and elongated, located prominently outside the Anespa unit. To replace it, simply unscrew the cover.
Benefits for Skin
By removing chlorine and impurities through the external cartridge, bathwater becomes gentle, reducing post-bath itching and dryness. This is especially important for damaged hair or sensitive skin (such as eczema sufferers).
