Abstract: A water softener regeneration system for a water softener configured to soften and filter water, the regeneration system includes a water hardness measurement system configured to determine a hardness value of water flowing out of the water softener. A brine tank is in communication with the water softener and operable to regenerate the water softener with brine from the brine tank. A controller is operable to control the brine tank, wherein the controller actuates by one of opening and closing the brine tank based on the hardness value which is indicative of the effectiveness of the water softener.

Abstract: The present application discloses a membrane element and a filter cartridge, wherein the membrane element comprises: a water collecting pipe; and a first membrane unit and a second membrane unit rolled on the water collecting pipe together, a waste water outlet of the first membrane unit being in communication with a raw water inlet of the second membrane unit, the waste water outlet of the first membrane unit and the raw water inlet of the second membrane unit being located a same side edge corresponding thereto when the first membrane unit and the second membrane unit are in an unrolled state. The first membrane unit and the second membrane unit may be rolled on the water collecting pipe together at one time.

Abstract: A reverse osmosis membrane element has a relatively high recovery rate. In the present invention, water ports of the reverse osmosis membrane element are located at both ends thereof, and a waterproof adhesive tape is coated between a flow guide net and a reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis membrane element, including a plurality of adhesive tapes parallel with an axial direction of the reverse osmosis membrane element, so that fed water is discharged from the water outlet after circuitously flowing between adjacent adhesive tapes along the axial direction of the reverse osmosis membrane element. In the technical solution of the present invention, a circuitous flow passage is available in the reverse osmosis membrane element, which increases the fluid flow rate, and decreases the surface pollution rate of the reverse osmosis membrane, thereby contributing to the improvement of the recovery rate of the reverse osmosis membrane element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spiral wound reverse osmosis membrane element comprising at least one set of the water purification membrane module comprising a laminated mesh-like treated water flow guiding member, a reverse osmosis membrane and a mesh-like feed water flow guiding member wound around a central treated water pipe; the reverse osmosis membrane is folded at a folded side to form a feed water flow channel therein along its inner surface and closed and sealed at areas remote from the central treated water tube at two sides adjacent to the folded side; a treated water flow channel is formed between outer surfaces of adjacent reverse osmosis membranes and opened only at a treated water outlet which opens towards the central treated water tube and is closed and sealed at remaining three sides; the mesh-like treated water flow guiding member is disposed inside the feed water flow channel.
