Regular servicing of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is important to ensure its proper functioning and to extend its lifespan. Here are some general steps on how to service an RO system:
-
Change the pre-filters: The pre-filters in an RO system need to be changed periodically, depending on the level of usage and water quality. The pre-filters help to remove sediment and chlorine from the water before it reaches the RO membrane. Replace the pre-filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
-
Clean the RO membrane: The RO membrane needs to be cleaned periodically to remove any accumulated sediments or impurities. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to clean the RO membrane.
-
Check the tank pressure: The tank pressure should be checked periodically to ensure that it is within the recommended range. If the pressure is too high or too low, adjust it as necessary.
-
Check the tank valve: The tank valve should be checked periodically to ensure that it is functioning correctly. If the valve is faulty, replace it.
-
Check the tubing: Check the tubing for any signs of damage or leakage. Replace the tubing if necessary.
-
Sanitize the system: Sanitize the RO system periodically to kill any bacteria or germs that may have accumulated. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to sanitize the system.
-
Check the flow rate: The flow rate of the RO system should be checked periodically to ensure that it is within the recommended range. If the flow rate is too low, check the pre-filters, RO membrane, and tubing for any blockages or damage.
It is recommended to service your RO system at least once a year or as recommended by the manufacturer. Following a regular servicing schedule can help prevent breakdowns, improve water quality, and extend the lifespan of your RO system. if you are not comfortable working with RO system, it may be best to hire a professional from Locals4u for assistance.
