All filters have a warranty period, as indicated in the product passport. If the filter breaks within this period, you can safely demand decisive action from the company. If the filter does not cope with its primary duties, the water is not purified well enough, too much of it goes into the drainage, or the housing itself is broken, contact RO Service in Patna, and they will help you.
What does it mean the requirement for a replacement module to be replaced?
Module resources could be measured in litres or duration. The resource provided in the manufacturer’s specifications is a rough number. It is essential to evaluate your situation, including the number of users, water quality, and evidence of use for the filter.
The information in the product’s document (directions for it) can be the most reliable method to ensure that you don’t want to be able to find an opportunity to purchase a replacement. After all, there may not be any reliable signs that the module has started to be sad: contrary to popular belief, the filtration process does not always slow down. But the water ceases to differ from the tap “cocktail”: a chlorine taste, foreign shades or smells appear, and the worst thing that cannot be seen with the naked eye is carcinogens and mutagens.
Each filter has its module replacement features – you will find the necessary tips on RO Service Centre, our technical support portal. Fortunately, all models provide independent, straightforward, and quick replacement of cartridges.
Reverse osmosis membranes are changed every one-half to two years. However, their “life” depends on the pre-filtration modules, which safeguard the membrane. They must be replaced at least every six months; if the water is terrible, it should be changed every three to six months.
What happens if you don’t replace your water filter on time?
- We have a reasonably detailed video on this. There won’t be a colossal disaster, but there won’t be much pleasant either: the filter will become useless. It will take up space, but not clean water. At the same time, nothing harmful flows into the water from the “overfilled”; it flows from the tap, and protection is needed. In this situation, you need to contact an RO service near me so that they can help you.
- Polypropylene (in primary filters and pre-filtration modules) becomes clogged with sand, rust, and other large particles and eventually stops letting water through.
- Activated carbon (in jugs and sorption stationary filters) also gets tired: its sorption capacity is not infinite – if there are no more places for the following pollutants to “land,” they will pass in orderly rows through the module into the cup.
- The reverse osmosis membrane (in reverse osmosis filters) filters slowly, literally drop by drop, and if it also gets clogged, you won’t be able to drink it. The membrane can also be damaged if the pre-treatment modules are not replaced in time and stop working: the chlorine not absorbed by the carbon will cause chemical “injury,” and the large particles not retained by the polypropylene will cause physical damage. A damaged membrane is a poor protector, and all sorts of impurities will start to penetrate the water.
- Hollow fibre (a special “additive” to sorption filters) can also become clogged because the material’s pores are tiny, only 0.1 microns. If a lot of impurities pass through such a “sieve,” then sooner or later, they will cover it with an even layer: bacteria and water will not pass through.
- Ion exchange resin (used in softeners and softening modules to combat hardness) is the most durable material. It can regenerate with table salt to return to its functionality. But if this is not done in time, you must drink hard water, teas with film, and cloudy broth. In hard water, detergents and cosmetics do not foam well.
