Water treatment systems are smart options for safer, cleaner, and better-tasting water in your home for years to come. When you’ve invested in a new water system from Holmes Water Treatment Co. in Wentzville, MO, it’s important to know how to care for it. Proper maintenance will extend the life of the system and prevent expensive problems.

How to Maintain Water Treatment Systems

1. Change the Filters

The filter and how many of them you have in your home will depend on the system you get. Know where each of these filters is in the home and how often the manufacturer recommends changing them. Keep a schedule handy, so you know when a filter change is due. These water filters improve clarity and safety by removing sediment and harmful contaminants from the water. Once the filter has reached its absorption limit, it will no longer clean the water; you want a new filter by the time it reaches this point.

2. Monitor the Operation

There are monitoring and testing equipment available that homeowners can purchase to keep an eye on the function of the system. These systems may tell you when a part needs replacement, give you information on the purity of the water you’re using, and report on the efficiency of the system. When you have a system installed, ask about your monitoring options.

3. Sanitize Annually

Some systems, such as reverse osmosis filtration systems, benefit from an annual cleaning. This can be accomplished by a professional the same time you have a filter that needs to be changed. Buildup can occur at any point during the system the same way plumbing can get a clog anywhere along its length. A sanitization runs through the system to kill any stray bacteria and flush out the buildup.
