Our systems require very little maintenance however it is essential to ensure the effectiveness and longevity of both water filtration and reverse osmosis (RO) systems. We have outlined below a brief overview of the maintenance tasks required our systems.
1. Filter Replacement
Typically every 6 months, depending on the type of filter and water quality. This blog post gives guidance on choosing the right filter set for your RO system.
2. Membrane Replacement (RO systems only)
Every 2 to 3 years, depending on the water quality and system usage. Decreased water quality and production rate are signs that the membrane may need replacement. Our reverse osmosis systems require membrane replacements, water filtration systems do not.
3. System Cleaning
Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the filter housing and other components to prevent mold and bacterial growth.
4. Inspection
Visual Check: Regularly inspect the system for leaks, cracks, or other damage.
Performance Monitoring: Keep an eye on water flow and taste to detect when filters need replacement sooner than scheduled.
5. Performance Monitoring
Water Filtration will not alter the TDS reading of water however an RO system will.
Use a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meter to regularly test the water quality. A significant increase in TDS indicates that filters or the membrane may need replacement.
Flow Rate: Monitor the flow rate of the purified water. A drop in flow rate can signal clogged filters or a fouled membrane.
We hope that the above information outlines how easy are systems are to maintain. Should you ever need any support or have any questions while changing filters, membranes or maintaining your system please get in touch with our team. We are available for any technical support our customers may require.
