Get a Water Test to Check Everything is Working Efficiently
Water softeners and filters are extremely important because they purify your water, making it taste and smell better as well as decreasing water risks. So it’s vital all your equipment remains in good working order, otherwise you’ll end up with water that’s harder and less pure than it should be.
The secret to ensuring your water treatment system always works effectively is to keep it clean, fully replenished and properly maintained. You can do some of this yourself but often a professional Kinetico maintenance will be simpler, quicker and show far better results.
Why Water Quality is Important
Whatever type of system you have, Kinetico water softener maintenance, Kinetico dechlorinator maintenance or a K5 drinking water station maintenance will ensure it:
- lasts longer, since problems that are detected during the maintenance can be fixed and will prolong the life of the equipment. Leakages, blocked filters and power fluctuations can lead to more serious problems later on. If there’s a build-up of limescale, corrosion or changes in pressure, these can eventually all cause damage to the system and lead to sudden failures
- performs at peak efficiency since regular preventative maintenance will reduce fouling, ensure maximum cleanliness and that everything is fully charged so all parts of the system work better
- works more reliably with fewer breakdowns. Regular maintenance will detect clogged filters, worn parts and anything that will prevent the equipment from working correctly, eventually leading to power wastage and failure
If you already have problems, such as water that remains hard or doesn’t smell or taste right, then corrective action will be necessary. You should check for leakages, valves not opening correctly, blockages or if the system needs cleaning or re-filling. At Kinetico, we can help to sort out your problems.
How to Maintain Kinetico Commercial Water Systems
Kinetico whole house reverse osmosis systems are designed for a long life and require little regular maintenance although all systems will benefit from a visual inspection every year. The supplied user instructions will tell you when filters need to be changed and any other tasks that are necessary.
One of the biggest tasks may be to clean a water softener’s brine tank to prevent a build-up of minerals in it. To do this:
- Shut off the water softener.
- Drain all water from the brine tank.
- Remove the water softener salt, including any salt bridges that have formed, and dispose of it.
- Clean the brine tank with a long-handled brush using a soapy, warm water solution.
- Rinse out the brine tank with clean water.
- Sanitize the brine tank using bleach dissolved in water, scrubbing all the surfaces with the mixture.
- Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water then dry it.
- Refill the brine tank with salt then restart.
You should periodically check salt levels while water softeners require the filters to be changed at prescribed intervals. Some of the care and maintenance are relatively easy to do and you can no doubt manage them yourself while certain aspects are more complicated.
If you don’t feel confident or haven’t the time, we can arrange to cover all your maintenance needs. This will ensure a fully professional job and result in your equipment working more efficiently and for longer at least cost so get in touch now to get started.
