If you have purchased a reverse osmosis purifier, the maintenance steps are similar to those for interventions on microfiltration purifiers but require additional precautions.
Reverse osmosis cleaners have osmotic membranes that can retain even the smallest particles within the water, requiring targeted interventions. The first step is to change the sediment filters (if present) and the activated carbon filters. Like all filters, these should be changed every 6 or 12 months, depending on use and the liters of water dispensed.
The more water is drawn from the cleaner, the more the filters will be worn. If you do not remember when you last replaced them, you can use some tricks:
- Apply a label with the date of the last change
- Note the replacement in your diary
- Trust the RO service near me, which will remind you when to perform the new maintenance.
You can also tell if your filters are worn by how the water flows from your sink: if it flows slowly and trickles, it’s time for maintenance.
The second step in maintaining osmosis purifiers is sanitizing the system with the appropriate disinfectant to eliminate the bacteria accumulating over time in the dispenser. After sanitization, the water must be filtered to clean the system well and remove any residues.
At this point, the maintenance of the reverse osmosis purifier is complete.
But be careful with the osmotic membranes: These need to be changed approximately every 3 or 4 years, and it is easier to forget to replace them. Sometimes, the timing may vary depending on the cleaner’s use or the type of water in that particular area.
If the water has a high concentration of limestone and is, therefore, harder, the membranes may wear out even within two years.
Even in this case, we recommend that you note down the date of the last replacement or ask your trusted technician.
Reverse osmosis purifiers also have components such as the pump, valves, anti-flooding system, and so on that are not included in ordinary interventions because if they malfunction or break, they can damage the dispenser. Therefore, extraordinary maintenance by a professional will be necessary in this case.
Maintenance of Hydra purifiers in India
If you need a professional to perform routine maintenance on your home cleaner, you can contact Ro service in Bhopal!
Here are the steps our technicians perform during dispenser maintenance:
First, they check the water quality from the tap to identify the specific problem. This also happens through a general check of the water, as well as checking the discharge and operating pressure of the cleaner.
After that, our staff cleans and maintains the dispenser and the dispensing cup with specific products such as detergents, sanitizers, and descalers.
If the dispenser model chosen includes water carbonation, the next step is to replace the Hydra filters, from those with activated carbon to those containing carbon dioxide.
Finally, once the cleaner’s maintenance is completed, our staff ensures it works appropriately and tests the water again, checking that it is pure and good.
How to dispose of water purifier filters
And after replacing the filters? Don’t worry—our staff will take care of it. Our technicians will safely dispose of all filters without leaving waste in your home.
Given the enormous waste of plastic bottles, buying a water purifier allows us to truly understand the difference we can make by drinking water at home. The waste produced with a dispenser is significantly less than that produced by buying bottled water: only 1 or 2 filters per year versus thousands of plastic bottles dispersed into the sea. A significant result for the environment and the world we live in.
