When your water filter isn’t working properly, follow these steps to identify and fix the problem:
✅ Check the filter replacement schedule – Filters should be changed every 3-6 months. ✅ Inspect for leaks – Look for loose connections or worn-out O-rings. ✅ Flush the system – Running clean water through the system can remove clogs. ✅ Test the water quality – A TDS meter can check if your filter is effectively removing contaminants. ✅ Ensure correct installation – Double-check if parts are assembled properly.
Common Issues with Water Purifiers
1. Filter Not Removing Impurities: Indicates an expired or malfunctioning filter. 2. Bad Smell in Water: Can be due to bacterial growth in the system. 3. Excessive Waste Water: Reverse osmosis filters can produce too much wastewater if membranes are faulty. 4. Water Filter Slow Flow: Often caused by clogged filters or airlocks. 5. Cloudy Water from the Tap: A sign of filter inefficiency or sediment buildup.
To prevent these issues, clean and replace filters regularly, follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guide, and get professional servicing when needed.
