How to Maintain Your RO Purifier Long-term
An RO water purifier silently works every day to give you safe drinking water. But like any appliance, it needs regular care. Neglecting maintenance can reduce water quality and shorten the lifespan of your RO system.
The good news is that with a few simple practices and timely servicing, your RO purifier can last for many years while delivering consistently pure water.
1. Replace Filters at the Right Time
Every RO purifier has multiple filters like sediment filters, carbon filters, and the RO membrane. These filters gradually get clogged with impurities and must be replaced on time to ensure sweet tasting water.
- Sediment Filter: Every 6–12 months.
- Carbon Filter: Every 6–12 months depending on usage.
- RO Membrane: Every 2–3 years.
2. Schedule Regular Professional Servicing
While basic cleaning can be done at home, a professional technician should inspect your RO unit at least once or twice a year. We check for leakages, pressure issues, and most importantly, the TDS level of your water.
3. Keep the Storage Tank Clean
Over time, the RO storage tank may develop deposits or odour if not cleaned. During a service visit, ask the technician to clean and sanitize the tank to avoid bacterial growth.
4. Monitor Water Taste and Flow
If you notice any change in taste, odour, or a drastic reduction in water flow, it usually indicates that one or more filters need attention. Do not ignore these signs – book a service promptly.
5. Choose an AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract)
For hassle-free care, many households and offices opt for an AMC plan. This covers periodic filter changes, servicing, and emergency visits at a fixed yearly cost.
