How to Diagnose Common Water Filter Issues
The quality of drinking water directly depends on the operation of each water treatment system unit. The mechanism will ultimately fail if even one element does not work correctly. Diagnostic measures are necessary to avoid an emergency.
Typical problems with the cleaning system
The following system elements most often fail:
- aeration column – air discharge valves become clogged with iron deposits and cannot perform their function to the full extent;
- iron remover – over time, iron deposits appear, which leads to jamming of the piston mechanism, and water enters the system in an uncleaned form;
- softener – if a salt deposit forms on the float of the reagent tank, it is difficult for the system to collect the reagent, and the water stops softening.
How is the diagnosis carried out?
The trade and engineering company “Ro service in Bhopal” offers a specialist visit for diagnostic activities. This can be a one-time visit to inspect the operability of the water purification system. We also conclude a service contract, in which we determine the number of visits to the site.
As part of the maintenance, the specialist inspects the following elements:
- general operation of equipment (checking water filters);
- tightness of units associated with water flows, maximum and minimum values;
- parameters of equipment electrodes;
- aeration module for rust (cleaning is performed);
- the presence of leaks in the system;
- replacement of disposable cartridges (if used);
- correct operation of the control valve;
- washing filters, updating reagents and coagulants to normalize operation;
- Brine collection from the brine tank.
After a thorough check of all system units, a test run is performed, and a specialist carefully checks the correct operation of all equipment elements. Before starting work and after its completion, a specialist takes water samples and sends them for free chemical analysis.
Is it possible to carry out diagnostics on your own?
Sometimes, to save money, owners decide to independently check the correct operation of all system nodes. Some rely on their technical knowledge, some use instructions, and some invite unreliable workers. Unfortunately, this decision can be fraught with big problems.
The most harmless case in self-diagnosis is an incorrect assessment or adjustment of the system operating parameters, leading to water purification deterioration. However, we have also encountered more unfortunate situations when the equipment failed and required expensive repairs.
Any complex system requires professional control. A specialist can assess whether certain system components are working correctly or whether measures need to be taken to eliminate the defect.
The employees of “RO service in Zirakpur” have sufficient competence to determine the degree of wear of equipment units. Our technicians arrive at the site with a set of professional tools and a selection of spare parts that may be useful in the work. We carry out diagnostics qualitatively and professionally. Not a single defect will escape the experienced eye of specialists. After diagnostic measures, we will consult the owner on the features of the equipment’s operation and maintenance in specific conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What do you do if the water filter starts leaking?
First, check the warranty conditions and contact the service center. They will help determine the cause and offer a solution to the problem.
- How often should filter elements be changed?
Typically, filter elements are changed every 6 months, but this depends on the filter model and water quality. It is recommended that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Is it possible to extend the warranty on a water filter?
Yes, many manufacturers offer extended warranties that can be purchased separately. This will provide additional protection and service.
- What services are included in the after-sales service?
After-sales service may include consultation, technical support, and the replacement and repair of filter elements. The exact services depend on the conditions of the manufacturer and the service company.
- How do you choose a reliable service company?
Pay attention to the company’s experience, customer reviews, and availability of licenses and certificates. Ask questions about the services provided and guarantees for the work performed.
