Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a purifying-softening water treatment machine, wherein the purifying-softening water treatment machine can carry out purifying treatment and softening treatment on water. The invention further relates to a filter element performance monitoring system for a water purifier-softener, wherein the filter element performance monitoring system is capable of enabling the filter element of the water purifier-softener to be replaced, rinsed or regenerated in time while treating a predetermined amount of water by monitoring the amount of water flowing through the filter element of the water purifier-softener.
Background
With increasing health concerns and concerns about water pollution problems, water treatment machines or water treatment systems have become common household appliances. Water treatment machines, particularly domestic water treatment machines such as central water purifiers, water softeners and the like are often installed in kitchens to treat water and obtain cleaner water.
Water processors are generally classified into water purifiers and water softeners according to the treatment mode of raw water or water to be treated. Common water purifiers, such as activated carbon filtration water purifiers, ultrafiltration water purifiers, RO membrane water purifiers, and the like, are often used for removing impurities, such as harmful substances and foreign substances, from water as much as possible. The water softener is mainly used for removing calcium ion plasma in water. The water obtained by treating the raw water by the water purifiers such as the ultrafiltration water purifier, the RO membrane water purifier and the like is cleaner and is suitable for drinking, and the soft water obtained by treating the raw water by the water softener is more suitable for bathing, clothes washing and the like because the soft water contains less calcium ions and the like. Soft water is also believed to be more cosmetically acceptable. However, most existing water treatment machines with composite water treatment functions are water treatment machines which simply carry out water purification treatment, such as an active carbon-ultrafiltration filtration composite water purification system, an ultrafiltration-RO membrane composite water purification system, a PP cotton-active carbon composite water purification system and the like, but few water purification-softening composite water treatment machines exist. The main reason is that, first, the purification of water and the softening of water differ greatly in mechanism or mechanism. When purifying water, a user needs to regularly wash or replace the filter element so as to prevent the purifying filter element from losing the purifying function after long-time use. For example, although flushing and the like can extend the life of the filter cartridge, the activated carbon filter cartridge and the ultrafiltration filter cartridge need to be replaced after a long period of use. After water is softened by the water softener for a period of time, the water softener needs to periodically supplement salt solution (generally NaCl solution) into the softening filter element (or the softening tank) and clean the softening filter element so as to prevent the softening resin in the softening filter element from losing activity and removing impurities in the softening filter element after long-time use. Second, in addition to replenishing the brine into the softening cartridge, the water softener needs to replenish water into its brine tank to prevent the brine in the brine tank from being consumed and failing to supply brine into the softening cartridge. However, all of the purification-softening water treatment machines involve control of the water flow. Due to the complexity of the structure and function implementation of the water softener that softens water, the purification-softening complex water treatment machine needs to form a complex waterway and can be reasonably controlled. In order to realize the control of the water purifying passage and the soft (softening) water passage at the same time, most of the existing purifying-softening composite water treatment machines are provided with more than two control valves, which finally results in the whole purifying-softening water treatment machine with a bulky structure, a huge volume and poor use experience. Furthermore, purification-softening water treatment machines, in particular domestic purification-softening water treatment machines, are generally installed under kitchen counter tops, such as under hand washing basins. The prior purifying-softening compound water treatment machine has huge volume, occupies excessive space and brings great inconvenience to the installation of users. Particularly, the maintenance and the filter core replacement of the purifying and softening water treatment machine are inconvenient. Again, most existing combined water treatment machines for purification and softening do not provide clean (treated) water to the user when the water is being softened. The user has to obtain purified water through an additional water purifying mechanism. Finally, since the purifying-softening composite water treatment machine with simple structure and easy control has not been shown in the market before, the filter element performance monitoring system for monitoring the service life of the purifying device (or the purifying filter element) and the softening device (or the softening filter element, such as a softening tank and the like) of the purifying-softening composite water treatment machine is less likely to be shown.

Further, the cartridge performance monitoring system of the purification-softening water treatment machine may alert a user or enable the purification-softening water treatment machine to replace (or regenerate) the softening cartridge in time when the total amount of soft water flowing through the soft water supply waterway detected by the first flow meter is greater than a preset amount of soft water.
