Introduction

The ceramic candle filters from Seema Minerals & Metals for drinking water have become one of the most sustainable ways to treat water through its environmental friendliness approach. But the question on many user’s minds is, can one clean and reuse these candles in order to reduce waste and save some money? Thus, in this blog post let us get you more informed about the same.

Understanding Ceramic Water Filtering Candles

Ceramic water filter candles develop a porous porcelain form of filter candles, which efficiently pass through pollutants in water. These are usually small candles composed of a hollow hard ceramic shell with very small pores that let water go through, but keep out all bacteria, sediment or any form of other dangerous substances. Such pores eventually clog over time lowering the filters’ efficiency; hence periodic cleaning and sometimes replacing is necessary.

Cleaning Ceramic Water Filtering Candles

Filter candles can be cleaned easily so as to enable them to continue performing efficiently. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Remove the Candle: First carefully remove the ceramic water filter candle from its housing. Normally this will involve undoing screws or disconnecting filters from the system.

2. Rinse with Water: Wash the ceramic candle with running water to clean out any loose debris and sediments. Rub the surface gently in order to remove all trapped particles and make it completely clean.

3. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Warm water is sufficient. Mix in a mild detergent or vinegar if needed for creating a cleaning solution. These stubborn contaminants will be broken down and removed using this solution.

4. Soak the Candle: Let the ceramic candle immerse in the cleaner’s for about 30 min. This makes it possible for the solution to be absorbed into the pores, effectively resolving the matter.

5. Scrub the Surface: Once soaked, gently scrub on the surface of the ceramic candle by using a soft brush or sponge. Focus more on those spots showing accumulation or discolouration. Do not use rough-surfaced materials which can scratch the filter.

6. Rinse Thoroughly: After washing the candle with the cleaning solution, be sure to rinse it thoroughly under running water to clear out all residue of the cleaner as well as dirt removed. Wash away any remaining traces of detergent or vinegar.

7. Sterilize if Necessary: You can also sterilize the ceramic candle to improve its hygiene. To remove bacteria and other microorganisms the filter should be boiled for a few minutes or processed with another sterilisation solution manufacturer’s recommendation.

8. Dry Completely: Once you have cleaned and sterilized the candles, let them dry fully in open air before installing it back into the filter housing. It stops the development of mold and mildew.

Reusing Ceramic Water Filtering Candles

After cleaning and drying of the ceramic water filter candle, it is then reusable. Nonetheless, the efficiency of the filter tends to diminish as time goes by. Thus, monitoring of a filter’s performance will be helpful; and replacement should take place if its filtration efficiency reduces significantly.

Regular Maintenance Tips

• To extend the lifespan of your ceramic water filter candle and maintain its optimal performance, consider the following maintenance tips:
• Check the ceramic candle on a regular basis for worn, cracked or damaged signs. If you happen to identify a problem, replace it instantly.
• It is imperative that you clean your ceramic candle at least once a month as specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not expose the filter to any extreme temperature or severe chemical.
• Pre-filter systems, or sediment filters, should be used to extract bigger particles before reaching the ceramic candle. It could keep it functional for longer and minimize stoppage.

Conclusion

It costs little and helps in the reduction of waste when one cleans and reuses ceramic water filtering candles. This blog presents a step-by-step instruction about maintaining a ceramic candle which allows enjoying clean and safe water at home from it for a long time. Ensure you adhere to the manufacturer guidelines for optimum usage cycle by servicing the ceramic water filter candle regularly.
