Maintaining your RO water purifier is essential for ensuring clean, refreshing drinking water at home. This DIY guide offers a step-by-step checklist to keep your RO system in top shape, potentially extending its lifespan and maintaining optimal performance.
Before You Begin:
Safety First!
Turn off your RO water purifier and shut off the electrical outlet and water supply valve.Consult your user manual
Every RO system is a little different, so referring your specific model's manual is crucial for following the correct maintenance procedures.Gather your supplies
You'll likely need replacement filters, a filter wrench, sanitizing solution, and a clean cloth or sponge. Check your manual for the exact items required for your model.
DIY Maintenance Checklist:
1. Replace Pre-Filters (every 3-6 months):
- Pre-filters remove sediment, dirt, and debris that can clog your RO membrane. Locate the pre-filter housings.
- Use a filter wrench to open the housings and remove old filters.
- Clean the housings with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Install new pre-filters, ensuring they're seated correctly.
- Tighten the housing securely (but don't over-tighten).
2. Check for Leaks (monthly):
- Inspect all connections, tubing, and fittings for any signs of moisture or dripping.
- Tighten any loose connections.
- If you find persistent leaks, replacement parts may be needed. Contact a professional if you're unsure.
3. Sanitize the Storage Tank (every 6-12 months):
- Drain the storage tank completely.
- Prepare a sanitizing solution according to your user manual (often a diluted bleach solution).
- Fill the tank with the solution and let it sit for the recommended time (usually 15-30 minutes).
- Drain and flush the tank thoroughly with clean water until all traces of sanitizer are gone.
4. Additional Tips:
- Keep the exterior of your RO unit clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid direct sunlight on your RO unit, as this can shorten the lifespan of the membrane.
- If you notice a significant decrease in water pressure or flow rate, it may indicate a clogged filter or membrane.
