Safe and clean water to drink and cook is one of the essential things in life. Drinking clean and pure water is only possible if you have a water purifying system at home. Purification is best done through RO (Reverse Osmosis). A good quality RO purifier can easily last more than ten years. Unbelievable. With proper maintenance and care, water purifiers can last longer and also provide clean and safe drinking water.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
