Regional water dispenser filter integrated monitoring system

The invention relates to a monitoring system, in particular to an integrated monitoring system for regionally monitoring the filter of a water dispenser.

Since tap water in Taiwan has not yet reached the level of direct drinking, many public places have water dispensers with filtered water purification functions. These drinking waters have different filter combination designs according to their filtering function requirements, such as partial drinking water opportunities. Using a combination of UV germicidal filter and resin filter, some drinking waters use a combination of resin filter and activated carbon filter, but regardless of the filter combination, the filter should be replaced at the right time. At present, most of the way of replacing the filter of the water dispenser is to adopt a regular replacement mechanism, for example, every three months or half a year, and the operator will arrange the replacement schedule of the water dispensers in each area, but the timing replacement method is not appropriate. .

Each filter has its own suitable water filtration conditions. In some places, the water dispenser has a large amount of water. The filter that was originally replaced for three months may have exceeded its filtration capacity for one and a half months, and cannot be filtered to provide a standard. The water quality provided may not affect the health of the user if it is not immediately replaced. However, in some places, the water consumption of the water dispenser is low. When the date of the filter replacement is scheduled, the filtered water volume of the filter core is less than half of the predetermined water filtration condition.
