If you also have a water purifier and want to understand how to do maintenance, we recommend you read this short post. Do-it-yourself maintenance of home water purifiers certainly does not replace the work of a specialized and authorized technician. This post educates customers on the correct steps to evaluate the qualified company, such as Repair Service Bro, to contact to maintain the water purifier.
How to Maintain a Microfiltration Water Purifier
Depending on the home water purifier you have adopted, periodic maintenance requires different steps. In fact, while Indian law requires a mandatory annual change to guarantee a non-deteriorating alteration of the mains drinking water, manufacturers require different periods depending on the type of water purifier installed.
In fact, microfiltration systems with activated carbon technology have a clogging operating principle. This means that once the autonomy of the liters of use that the water filter can guarantee has been exceeded, it is mandatory to change it regardless of the time since the installation day.
Therefore, if the filter runs out eight months after the usage cycle, even if the year has not expired, as Indian law requires, changing the filters is appropriate and mandatory.
When you decide to install a cleaner of this type, you should equip yourself with a product that can count the liters of water supplied. With a liter counter or a system for recognizing the state of wear of the filter, performing correct maintenance is genuinely possible.
The correct steps to do maintenance on the microfiltration water purifier
Once the maintenance has expired, it is pretty simple. First, you must shut off the safety valve upstream of the cleaner and drain the water inside it from the tap. If it has an electronic ignition, also disconnect the power supply. Once the filter has been removed, use a certified food disinfectant and clean all the quick-connect fittings of the purifier, taking care to wash them once disinfected with running water. It is essential at this stage to sanitize the filter head and the tap well. Most bacteria risk increasing in the tap and not in the water purifier.
Replace the cartridge without waiting so as not to throw bacteria into the new filter that has just been opened. Once the maintenance has been carried out correctly, 100 liters of water will be dispensed to completely clean the active carbon (a process called decarbonization). Initially, the water will be black, slowly becoming clear and clarified. If you cannot do it yourself, you can hire RO Service in Patna.
Waste disposal to be done after maintenance on the water purifier
The used cartridges can be delivered as particular waste, or they can be opened and sorted. If you decide on the second, you must open the filter head. The active carbon part, which is entirely vegetal, can be thrown away in the organic waste. The filter casing is usually made of food-grade plastic. Therefore, you can throw it in the dry or plastic waste depending on whether the company provides for the use of recyclable plastics or not. This step shows customers how adopting a water purifier and purifier allows them to reduce the production of plastic and waste completely. The idea of producing 3/4 filters per year of waste against the 700/800 bottles (average family with two bottles per day) is a priceless feeling.
Some advice from the experts
Regular maintenance should be carried out every six months in microfiltration cleaners. This avoids clogging the filter. In fact, like any product subject to wear, the performance graph shows how the filter maintains a high filtering function in the initial purification phases, gradually losing filtering power towards the end of the permitted capacity.
