Have you ever noticed the bad taste of the water coming out of your water purifier? Or maybe the water pressure is so low that it takes many minutes to fill a glass of water? These are the signs that tell you it's time to repair and service the home water purifier. Water purifiers have become one of the main pillars of health in today's homes. Due to the low quality of tap water in many areas, it is necessary to use these systems to remove pollutants, chlorine and heavy metals. But like any other mechanical and electrical device, these devices also need constant maintenance.

In this article, we are going to discuss common problems, troubleshooting methods and periodic service steps in detail. If you are looking for professional services or high-quality parts, Oxos water purification site, as one of the pioneers of this industry, provides you with the best solutions and products. Don't forget that home water purifier repair and service not only increases the life of the device, but also guarantees the health of the water you drink.

The importance of periodic service of the water purifier

Why should we think about repair and service of home water purifier? The answer is simple: health and savings. Water filters have a limited capacity. When this capacity is filled, not only are they no longer able to purify water, but they can also become a source for the growth of bacteria. In addition, parts such as pumps, tanks and solenoid valves may suffer costly failures if they are not serviced on time.

Timely service helps to maintain the efficiency of the device. When the filters are clean, less pressure is applied to the pump and electricity consumption is reduced. Also, the quality of the outgoing water always remains at the highest standard. Oxos water purification experts recommend that you have a regular schedule for changing filters and checking the device's performance to avoid heavy repair costs in the future.

The right time to change water filters

One of the most important parts of home water purifier repair and service is timely filter replacement. Each filter has a specific task and a useful life is defined for it. Failure to replace these filters on time can cause serious damage to the main membrane (membranes).

1. Fiber filter (first stage): This filter has the task of removing sand, sand and mud. Usually, it should be replaced between 3 and 6 months. If the incoming water is very muddy, this time will be shorter.
2. Powder carbon filter and carbon block (second and third stage): These filters remove chlorine and organic matter. Their useful life is about 6 months. The penetration of chlorine into the next steps can destroy the membrane filter. Membrane filter (fourth step): It is the heart of the water purifier that removes nitrates, nitrites and heavy metals. Its lifespan is between 18 and 24 months, but it depends strongly on the performance of the pre-treatment filters.
3. Post-carbon and mineral filters (5th and 6th stages): These filters are used to improve taste and add mineral salts and are usually replaced once a year.

Common problems and how to repair and service the home water purifier

In the process of repairing and servicing the home water purifier, we face many problems. Knowing these problems will help you to act quickly in case of failure. In the following, we will discuss some of the most common faults.

The reason for not turning on the water purifier

If your device does not turn on at all and the sound of the pump is not heard, there are several possibilities:

• Power failure: Check the outlet and power adapter first.
• Low pressure switch: If the water pressure in the building is low or the water is cut off, this switch will cut off the power of the device so that the pump does not work without water and does not burn.
• High pressure switch: If the tank is full, this switch gives a shutdown command. If the tank is empty but the device does not turn on, this part may be damaged.
• Pump or transformer burning: In rarer cases, the pump or adapter may be burned and need to be replaced.

In such a situation, it is better to get the help of a technician or test the electrical parts with a voltmeter for repair and service of the home water purifier.

The reason for not turning off the device completely

One of the annoying problems is the continuous operation of the device. This issue not only increases the consumption of electricity and water, but also causes the pump to heat up and burn. The main reasons are:

• Water leakage: If there is a leak in the connections, the pressure of the tank never reaches the required level and the device works constantly.
• One-way valve failure: If the one-way valve (Check Valve) is broken, the filtered water returns to the membrane filter and the pressure drops. It can't.
• High pressure sensor failure: The sensor cannot detect the filling of the tank and the command does not stop.

The technical team of Oxos water treatment is ready to find out the reason why it is working all the time and fix the problem by carefully examining your device.

The reason for the decrease in outlet water pressure

Many users complain about the drop in water pressure. This problem is very common in the discussion of home water purifier repair and service. Its reasons include the following:

• Filters clogging: If the filters are capped, water will pass through with difficulty.
• Underinflation or hole in the tank tube: The storage tank has an air tube that provides the necessary pressure to release the water. If the wind in the tank decreases, there is water in the tank, but there is no force to leave it.
• Membrane damage: If the pores of the membrane are closed, water production will be greatly reduced.

Adjusting tank air is one of the most important steps in periodic service that is often overlooked.

Troubleshooting the taste and smell of purified water

The main purpose of buying a water purifier is to have access to pleasant and odorless water. If the output water smells or tastes bad, it indicates a malfunction of the system.

• Stale smell: If the water is left in the tank for a long time, it may smell. You have to empty and refill the tank. If the problem persists, bacteria may have grown in the tank and the tank needs to be flushed or replaced.
• Bitter taste: This is usually a sign of a properly functioning membrane filter that has completely removed the solutes. To remove the bitterness, you should use a mineral filter (step 6) or slightly open the mixing valve.
• Taste and smell of sludge: This is dangerous and indicates that the pre-treatment filters (steps 1 to 3) are rotten and should be replaced immediately.

To prepare plant carbon filters that improve the taste of water, Oxos water purification products are the best option.

Step-by-step procedures for changing filters at home

If you intend to repair and service the home water purifier and replace the filters yourself, follow the steps below:

1. Closing the inlet valve and the tank: First, close the valve of the water inlet to the device and the valve on the storage tank.
2. Pressure release: Open the intake valve on the sink to drain some water and release the pressure inside the hoses.
3. Opening the housings: Using a special wrench, open the lower filter housings (steps 1 to 3). Be careful not to spill water inside them.
4. Housing washing: Wash the inside of the housings with water and a little clean detergent.
5. Installing new filters: Put the new filters in place. Make sure that the washers fit properly so that there is no leakage.
6. Carbon washing: Before connecting the output hose of the second filter to the third one, pass some water through the second filter to remove the carbon black. This is critical to prevent membrane failure.
7. Closing the housings and testing: Tighten the housings. Open the water tap and make sure there is no leakage.

If these steps are difficult for you, the experienced technicians of Oxos water treatment can do it for you in the shortest possible time.

Pump service and electrical parts of the device

The water purification pump is responsible for providing the necessary pressure for water to pass through the membrane membrane. Pump failure is one of the most expensive parts of home water purifier repair and service. Usually, pumps leak from the head area or their coil burns.

If the pump makes noise or vibrates a lot, its bearings are probably damaged or the base screws are loose. Timely servicing of the pump clutch and replacing its diaphragm can prevent the engine from burning completely. It is also important to check the transformer (adapter); Because the voltage fluctuation can damage the sensors and the pump.

The role of the tank in the operation of the water purifier

The tank of the water purifier is usually of the pressurized type. Inside these tanks there is a rubber diaphragm that occupies half of the tank space with air and the other half with water. During the repair and service of the home water purifier, the air pressure of the tank should be checked. Standard pressure is usually between 6 and 8 PSI.

If when you open the faucet, the pressure is good at first, but quickly drops and becomes a trickle (while the tank is heavy and full of water), that means the tank is empty or the tube is broken. If the tube is broken, the entire tank must be replaced. The antibacterial tanks offered on the Oxos water purification site have the highest standards and have a long lifespan.

water leakage; The nightmare of owners of purification devices

One of the main reasons for calling for home water purifier repair and service is water leakage. Leakage can be from fitting connections, hosings or hoses.

• Connections: Sometimes the plastic connections crack or their inner O-ring is damaged.
• Housings: If the O-ring around the housing thread is dry or poorly sealed, water will leak. It is recommended to use silicone grease to grease the o-rings.

Always wait a few minutes after performing any service and check all connections with a dry paper towel to make sure there are no leaks.

The importance of using original parts

Unfortunately, there are many fake and low-quality Chinese parts in the market of water purification parts. The use of fake filters not only does not purify the water, but also introduces poor quality chemicals into your drinking water. Also, weak pumps or low-quality tanks are damaged very quickly and multiply the costs of repair and service of the home water purifier.

Oxos water purification company guarantees that all the parts and filters provided meet international NSF and Water Quality standards. Buying from reliable sources is an investment in the health of the family.

Adjust water hardness (TDS)

One of the specialized steps in home water purifier repair and service is adjusting the water hardness. RO devices (reverse osmosis) are able to reduce the hardness of water drastically, which sometimes makes the water bitter. Using the Mix Valve, you can mix some of the purified water of the initial stages with the membrane water until the hardness of the water reaches the desired level (usually between 30 and 90 ppm).

The accurate setting of this valve requires a hardness meter (TDS Meter). If the water hardness is too high, sediment will form in the kettle and kidneys, and if it is too low, the water will become bitter and acidic. Oxos experts measure and adjust the hardness of the outgoing water exactly every time.

Aeration of the water purifier

Sometimes after changing the filters, air enters the system. This air can cause loud noise, knocking of hoses or milky color of the output water (small air bubbles). Airing the device is usually done by leaving the valve open for a few minutes. But in more severe cases, it may be necessary to slightly loosen the connections of the hoses to let the air out. The presence of air in the pump can cause dry operation and failure. Therefore, in the process of repairing and servicing the home water purifier, ventilation is an important principle.

Electric valve and intersection service

In older devices, a piece called a mechanical intersection was used, which had many problems and caused water wastage. Solenoid valves are used in new devices. The task of this piece is to cut off the incoming water flow when the pump is turned off.

If the device is turned off, but the sewage water is still flowing, it means that the solenoid valve is damaged and sedimented. This problem causes a sharp increase in the water bill. In household water purifier repair and service, checking the correct operation of the solenoid valve is very vital to prevent water wastage. Specialists of Oxos water purification site can optimize the performance of your device by replacing modern solenoid valves.

Installing and moving the water purifier

In addition to repairs, sometimes it is necessary to move the device from one house to another. Opening and closing the water purifier needs to be careful as it is for household water**. Usually, pumps leak from the head area or their coil burns.

If the pump makes noise or vibrates a lot, its bearings are probably damaged or the base screws are loose. Timely servicing of the pump clutch and replacing its diaphragm can prevent the engine from burning completely. It is also important to check the transformer (adapter); Because the voltage fluctuation can damage the sensors and the pump.
