However, several common problems do appear in RO water purifiers. These issues can disrupt the purification process and compromise water quality, whether it’s a clogged filter, leaking pipes, or malfunctioning parts. Fortunately, solutions are available to address these problems and ensure the smooth functioning of your water purifier.

Here are a few of the most common water purifier problems and their solutions for quick and easy maintenance.

Clogged Filters

Clogged filters are one of the most common problems encountered in water purifiers. Over time, sediments, dirt, and impurities accumulate in the filters, reducing water flow and compromising purification. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the filters are necessary to prevent clogging. OneDios provides a convenient solution by offering scheduled maintenance services for water purifiers. With their network of authorised service providers, they ensure that trained professionals clean and replace filters as required, ensuring optimal performance and water quality.

Leaking Pipes

Leakage is another prevalent problem in water purifiers, often caused by loose connections, worn-out seals, or faulty valves. The faulty connection must be refitted appropriately or occasionally replaced to fix this. The O ring may need to be replaced if the leak is in the membrane. Getting professional assistance is a good idea if you discover any water leakage in your RO water purifier. If left unattended, leaking pipes can lead to water wastage and potential damage to the surrounding area. OneDios can be instrumental in addressing this issue through its regular service plans. By scheduling periodic visits from authorised technicians, they can promptly identify and rectify any leaks, ensuring that your water purifier functions efficiently and prevents unnecessary water loss.

Foul Odour or Bad Taste of Water

A bad taste or odour is not present in the RO water purifier. However, when consuming RO water, you can still detect a change in taste or smell. Chlorine is the most frequent cause of poor taste and smell. If the filters are not adequately filtering the water, this may happen. To prevent this, filters need to be changed every 12 months. To get the filters replaced on time, download the OneDios app now. OneDios also helps you track your previous RO service details, next RO service due date and parts replaced.

If the purified water is kept in the storage tank for a long time without being used, it may also begin to smell. Ensure that the water is not left unused in the storage tank for more than two days and that the tank is cleaned thoroughly during filter replacement.

Unusual Noises

The most common source of vibrations and noise in any water purifier is the RO pump. The air being pushed out of the system causes a weird noise from your water purifier’s faucet, especially after replacing the filters and membrane. If the noise persists after changing the filter, see a professional to ensure the tubing is appropriately placed. If the water tank’s valve is not correctly closed, noise may occur.

Low Water Flow

Decreased water flow from the water purifier can be frustrating, as it prolongs the time to fill containers or glasses. It may occur due to several reasons, such as clogged filters, improper installation, or issues with the water pressure. OneDios, with its expertise in appliance servicing, can troubleshoot the root cause of the low water flow and provide appropriate solutions. Our trained technicians can diagnose the problem and take necessary actions, such as filter replacement, pipe cleaning, or adjusting the pressure settings, to restore the water purifier’s flow rate effectively.

Malfunctioning Components

Water purifiers have various components, including motors, pumps, valves, and electronic circuitry, which can develop faults over time. These issues can disrupt the purifying process or cause the appliance to stop functioning altogether. If your water purifier is experiencing component-related problems, OneDios’ extended warranty service can be highly beneficial. By extending the manufacturer’s warranty, OneDios provides coverage against unexpected breakdowns and malfunctions, ensuring that repairs or component replacements are carried out promptly and without a significant financial burden on the consumer.

The reverse osmosis (RO) system uses a multi-stage filtration process to remove different types of contaminants from water. It requires periodic maintenance to ensure the RO system continues to remove dissolved solids and that water quality remains high. Well, here are some ways by which you can improve the lifespan of your RO purifier.

Replace the filters regularly.

RO systems have a carbon pre-filter, a RO membrane, and a post-filter. Changing these filters on time is very important as impurities from water clog the filters after a while. Unclean filters affect the quality of water you use to drink and cook.

The carbon filter needs to be changed yearly as it filters chlorine and other dangerous contaminants and affects the water’s taste and odor.
The RO membrane is the heart of the RO system. The RO membrane must be changed every 3-4 months to prevent clogging of pores. It separates the contaminants from the water molecules. The filters protect the RO membrane. A TDS meter can help you check if your RO membrane is functioning correctly.
The sediment filter needs to be changed at least once a year. Maintaining your sediment filter helps keep out sediment, dirt, and slit. It protects dirt from getting to the RO membranes.
The postfilter polishes the water as it leaves the storage tank to the tap. It can be changed annually. It receives good RO water from the storage tank.

To get the filters replaced on time, download the OneDios app now. OneDios also helps you to keep track of your previous RO service details, the next RO service due date, and parts replaced.

Keep a check on drips and leakages.

Drips and leakages by your RO purifier are not to be neglected. Leakages can lead to significant problems if left unattended. Please get the help of a professional to know the cause of the leakage and have it repaired. You can also download the Onedios app for RO service or an extended warranty or find out about AMC with just one click.

Drain the RO water tank

RO storage tank should be drained monthly. Draining allows the RO system to renew the water in the tank completely. When you only use a little water, the system only refills the top portion of the tank. Draining the tank periodically is essential to maintain water quality, freshness and taste.

Sanitize the RO water tank

Sanitizing is not required as often as draining, but it is recommended to do so yearly. Preferably, the tank’s sanitization and pipe cleaning should be done along with replacing RO membranes. It is required as all tanks grow slime after a while. If you think your RO water purifier isn’t working correctly or want to schedule a routine check-up or cleaning, download the OneDios app and book your RO service in 6 clicks.

Regular cleaning should be done.

Generally, you should clean your RO purifier system at least every two months to prevent the accumulation of minerals, dirt, and other contaminants. It’s best to follow the recommendations for cleaning in your RO users’ manual. Avoid using harsh cleaning products on your RO system and gently wipe it. Keep its outer also free from dirt and dust.
