The project involves testing an already developed nanofiber filter in a whirlpool intended for home use and comparing it with the filter cartridges that are supplied as standard with these whirlpools. During the operation of the whirlpool with the tested filters, the hydraulic properties of the filtration system (pressure loss, flow rate) will be continuously monitored and water samples will be taken regularly to determine its quality based on the results of physicochemical, chemical and microbiological analyses.
The aim of the project is to conduct long-term testing of the developed nanofiber filter for water filtration in a whirlpool for home use and to compare it with the filter cartridges that are supplied with these whirlpools as standard. The whirlpool will be operated with each filter in two different modes (very high load vs. low “weekend” load). The aim is to simulate different operating conditions expected for the target customer and to monitor the continuous condition of the nanofiber filter by monitoring the quality of the filtered water. A standard filter cartridge supplied with whirlpools directly by the manufacturer will be used as a control sample.
The project was implemented in 2024 and is co-financed by the European Union and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
