Why Routine Maintenance Is Important

Regular drinking water system maintenance and service protect your investment while ensuring your family continues to receive high-quality water. Routine service can help:

  • Maintain water quality
  • Improve system performance
  • Extend equipment life
  • Reduce unexpected repairs
  • Identify worn filters before they become ineffective
  • Detect small issues before they become major problems

Water conditions change over time, especially in Austin and throughout Central Texas. Periodic maintenance helps ensure your equipment continues to perform as designed.

What’s Included With Drinking Water System Maintenance?

Every system is different, but a typical maintenance visit often includes:

  • Water testing
  • System inspection
  • Filter replacement(s)
  • Reverse osmosis pre- and post-filter replacement
  • UV lamp replacement (for ultraviolet light disinfection systems)
  • RO membrane replacement (about every 3 to 5 years)
  • System cleaning and sanitization when appropriate
  • Pressure checks
  • Leak inspection
  • Flow testing
  • Programming or controller adjustments (if applicable)
  • Performance testing
  • Recommendations for future maintenance

We’ll also inspect the system for worn components that may need repair or replacement.

Signs Your Drinking Water System Needs Service

Your filtration system may not stop working all at once. Instead, it often shows signs that maintenance is needed. Common warning signs include:

  • Water tastes or smells different
  • Reduced water pressure
  • Slow reverse osmosis faucet flow
  • Cloudy or discolored water
  • Visible leaks
  • System alarms or error messages
  • Unusual noises
  • Hard water returning and related issues (scale buildup, poor soap lathering, spotty dishes, appliance issues, dry skin, etc.)
  • Poor overall water quality

If you notice any of these problems, scheduling drinking water filter service can help restore system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drinking Water

  • How long do drinking water systems last?

    Most systems provide many years of dependable performance when properly maintained. While filter cartridges require regular replacement, larger components often last 10 to 20 years depending on the type of equipment, water quality, and maintenance schedule. Professional maintenance can help maximize the lifespan of your investment.

  • How do you maintain an RO system?

    Routine maintenance for reverse osmosis systems includes replacing filters, inspecting tubing and fittings, checking water pressure, sanitizing the system when needed, and verifying that the membrane and storage tank are operating properly.

  • How frequently should reverse osmosis filters be changed?

    Most RO pre-filters and post-filters should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. The exact schedule depends on your water quality and household water usage.

  • How often should a reverse osmosis membrane be replaced?

    Most RO membranes last about 3 to 5 years with proper system maintenance. Regular filter replacements help extend the life of the membrane.

  • Do drinking water systems need to be sanitized?

    Yes. Some drinking water systems, especially RO systems, benefit from periodic sanitization to help reduce bacterial growth and keep the equipment operating properly.

  • Can I replace reverse osmosis filters myself?

    Some homeowners choose to replace their own filters, but professional service helps ensure the correct filters are installed, the system is sanitized when appropriate, and all components are working properly afterward.
