Service Tips
To help keep your reverse osmosis at a maximum lifecycle, here are some tips:
Ensure that the RO is being serviced every 6–12 months, preferably through a professional water purification company.
The system cartridges should be sanitized every service.
The tank pressure must be set at the proper level to provide maximum water amount and correct pressure, this should be completed every service.
O’Rings should be inspected and replaced to prevent leaks.
Water Softeners:Water softeners, using an ion exchange process, transform hard water into soft water. The ion exchange process involves using sodium chloride (table salt) to run through the system, where the molecule splits, leaving behind only the sodium molecules.

UV systems are made up of three primary maintenance parts.
The lamp – MUST be replaced EVERY YEAR.
