Problems requiring maintenance of water filters

Maintenance of water filters, if neglected, will make the filter a means of infection with diseases and viruses. Instead of being a source of avoiding and preventing these diseases. Regular maintenance of filters will extend their life. Learn with us in this article about the most common problems that require contacting maintenance experts and replacing appropriate spare parts before it is too late.

The taste and smell of water change after installing the water filter for a while

Certainly, the water becomes unhealthy after we exceed the permissible period for the life of the water filter plugs. The reason is due to the accumulation of sediment and bacteria on the filter plugs. Which increases the chance of multiplication and reproduction of bacteria on the candle. Thus, this leads to a large percentage of water leakage.

Therefore, it is always advised to focus on knowing when to change the spark plugs and to follow up on their maintenance permanently. This ensures that you eliminate bad water taste and keep your water filter running smoothly.

Infiltration of carbon particles (carbon explosion)

Experts emphasize the need to confirm and adhere to maintenance schedules and change the water filter plugs. And the need to do a periodic examination to ensure the percentage of salts. One of the most important benefits of the filter is the removal of excess salts through the carbon phases in the filter. If you neglect the maintenance of the filter, the result will be a carbon explosion, as small carbon particles infiltrate the water produced by the filter. Which is the cause of exposure to health problems, God forbid, because of these harmful particles.

Neglecting the maintenance of the filter tank

Experts recommend maintaining the tank and ensuring its proper functioning on a regular basis. And also to change it for a maximum of 3 years. This is due to the accumulation of bacteria inside it in large quantities. It should be noted the customer’s negligence in permanently replacing the tank. And they do not feel the existence of a problem only in the event of a problem with it. Therefore, we must emphasize the need to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the water tank. As we mentioned, it must be changed periodically to prevent the accumulation of microbes and bacteria inside it.

The second case that requires maintenance of the filter tank is when the air inside the tank is increased. It is not able to pressurize, and therefore water collects in the tank for a longer period than is allowed. Of course, this leads to an increase in the accumulation of bacteria and their gathering inside the tank in very large quantities. Therefore, we recommend changing the tank water daily, even if it is not used. It should be noted that by neglecting the maintenance of the tank, you will never benefit from the filter in a healthy and proper way. So, to ensure the safety of your health and your loved ones, make the most of the water filter.

Spare parts must be taken care of as much as possible and maintained periodically to maintain the efficiency of the filter, namely:

• The electric pump and its function are to pump water.
• Electric motor: Any filter needs a water filter motor to be maintained in order to ensure that it does not malfunction in the future.
• Any filter consists of several “cartridge” stages. For example, there is a 7-stage water filter, there is a 6-stage filter, and there are 5 stages…etc. The stages are among the most parts that need maintenance and periodic change, and they are the determinant factor for meeting water as well, so care must be taken to perform maintenance and change of your filter stages from time to time.
• You should also look at the drainage of non-potable water, and make sure that there is the drainage for it.
• It is also the parts that require maintenance, as mentioned above. The tank is used to collect filtered drinking water. At this stage, the filtered water is ready for drinking as it is free of impurities.

Problems that require water filter maintenance

There are common and widespread problems among water filter users, which affect the degree of water purity so that the filtered water becomes less pure than before.

Change the smell and taste of the water

I do not think that there is anyone who uses a water filter who has not faced this dilemma. This is the problem of changing the smell and taste of drinking water, and this problem is one of the most common problems.

In order to overcome this problem, water filters must be changed continuously. Because the filters work to purify the water from viruses, dust, impurities, and even unpleasant odors and chlorine. Therefore, changing the taste and smell of water is not surprising. It is expected to happen, and that is why you should be careful to change your water filters from time to time, especially when you notice a change in the taste and smell of drinking water, and in case you find that change. All you will have to do then is change the filters of the first, second, or third stage, or clean the valves so that the problem of not reaching the tap water does not occur at a later time.

When checking the first three possibilities, the problem still exists. There may be a problem with the collection tank and the common problem is that it has expired. And if you are wondering how to act if you know that the problem is in the collection tank. Then all you will do is contact a water filter maintenance company.

There is a problem with the pump “filter motor”

When the water filter has not been operated for a long time, damage to the pump occurs, and the water filter needs maintenance. The pump is the part responsible for pumping and transporting water in the filter to all its parts. Therefore, it is a very important part of any water filter. When you encounter such a problem, the fault is either a problem with the electrical connections connected to the water filter motor. There may be a malfunction in the transformer itself, and the solution here lies in checking the connections connected to the pump. And if you do not find a problem with it, ensure the problem is in the adapter. However, care must be taken when dealing with the pump and electrical connections in particular.

The pump is always running

One of the common problems that bother many users of the water filter is that the pump works continuously without stopping. Which causes inconvenience. When faced with this problem, there are three possibilities for the problem and they are:

• Perhaps the problem lies in the pump itself. Which requires maintenance or a complete change.
• One of the expected possibilities is that there is a malfunction in the quad valve, so do maintenance for it.
• The third and biggest possibility is a malfunction in the filter pressure sensor. It is located in the inlet tube of the first stage.
