Orings for water filters
Seals for water filters are usually rings with a round cross-section, known as O-rings. Before placing the seal in the filter, it should be lubricated with a grease that will not be displaced by water, such as technical Vaseline or silicone grease. This procedure will prevent the situation in which the seal stretches during assembly after being inserted into the filter housings. Additionally, it will protect the seal from premature degradation. The Oring seal is the best choice from a range of products for sealing devices such as aquafilters.

Types of aquafilters that use O-rings
Pitcher Filter
Used for purifying drinking water. The manufacturer declares that this type of aquafilter purifies water from calcium ions (preventing scale buildup in the kettle), chlorine, and heavy metals. Products of this type are available with a filter usage indicator. The manufacturer's website states that the price of such a product is around 30 PLN.
Under-Sink Filter
The place of this product is near the main valve. Such filters are used to remove sand or rust from all faucets in the house. They only eliminate large impurities. When the filter gets clogged, it should be removed, rinsed, checked if the seal is in place, and then reinstalled into the housings. After adding the product to the cart, the price is around 60 PLN.
Countertop Filter
Products of this type are connected directly to the faucet and placed on the kitchen counter near the sink. In the package, the manufacturer adds a connector with a valve and O-rings to prevent the already filtered water from being wasted on, for example, dishwashing. The price mentioned on the website after adding the product to the cart is around 80 PLN.
Activated Carbon Filter
It is best to install these filters just before the bactericidal lamp. They are responsible for one of the final stages of filtration. The name of the product comes from the content of activated carbon. Thanks to it, the water tastes much better, removes the unpleasant smell of chlorine, and yellow discoloration. After adding the filters to the cart on the website, you will see a price of around 50 PLN.
Under-Sink Filter
Aquafilter consists of two or three housings, O-rings, and filtering inserts (sedimentary, purifying water from mechanical impurities, and carbon). The manufacturer provides the equipment with all the necessary parts for installation. Information provided by the manufacturer on the website after adding the filter to the cart shows that the price of the product is around 150 PLN.
Well Water Filtration
Water from your own source, such as a well, often contains excessive amounts of manganese and iron. This water is characterized by high hardness. Due to the excessive amount of compounds mentioned earlier, it leaves stubborn traces on bathroom devices, such as the bathtub, toilet, or shower tray. This can cause the seal to crack and the pipes to become clogged with limescale. Therefore, if you have decided to use water from your own source, it is worth equipping yourself with products like aquafilter. The manufacturer offers two basic types of filters.
Iron Remover
The name of the product comes from the function it performs in the aquafilter. Before purchasing and adding this filter to the cart, the manufacturer recommends contacting the company from which you will buy the device, for example, via email. By using cookies and the information they collect, you can provide the customer with professional advice. Any website offering such filters or seals dedicated to them can help. The company should determine the types of media and the size of the device. The specialist will take into account all components, such as the seals that will be used during installation. They will analyze the water in terms of composition and consumption by household members. After adding to the cart, the price is 1800 PLN.
Water Softener
The most commonly purchased model is the single-column softener because it does not require much space for installation. Two-column softeners of this type are also available. The softeners are controlled by an automatic head, making operation simple. When the ion exchange resin is no longer able to accept more calcium ions, it's time for regeneration. To do this, prepare a salt solution to rinse the resin. The rinsed calcium solution will be discharged into the sewage system. It is important to check if the seal has not been damaged during rinsing. The price of such a device ranges from 1900 PLN.
Multifunctional Filter
They reduce the hardness level of water, remove iron, manganese, nitrogen compounds, and mechanical impurities. Therefore, it can be said that they have a wide range of action. This is thanks to the specially selected composition of the media. Filter regeneration is carried out periodically using salt tablets. After each cleaning, it is important to check if the seal is in place.
