The Importance of Yearly Water Filtration Maintenance

Water filtration systems are essential for providing clean, safe drinking water to homes and businesses. However, even the best water filtration system can’t work properly if it’s not properly maintained. That’s why it’s important to schedule yearly water filtration maintenance.

Here are a few of the benefits of yearly water filtration maintenance:

  • Improved water quality: A well-maintained water filtration system will remove impurities and contaminants from your water, providing you with clean, refreshing drinking water.
  • Longer system life: Regular maintenance will help to extend the lifespan of your water filtration system, saving you money in the long run.
  • Fewer repairs: A well-maintained water filtration system is less likely to break down, saving you the time and hassle of dealing with repairs.
  • Peace of mind: Knowing that your water filtration system is properly maintained will give you peace of mind, knowing that you’re drinking clean, safe water.

What’s involved in yearly water filtration maintenance?

Yearly water filtration maintenance typically involves the following steps:

  • Inspecting the filter cartridges: The filter cartridges are the heart of your water filtration system, so it’s important to inspect them regularly for signs of wear and tear.
  • Cleaning the filter cartridges: Over time, the filter cartridges can become clogged with sediment and other debris. Cleaning the filter cartridges will help to improve the performance of your water filtration system.
  • Replacing the filter cartridges: The filter cartridges should be replaced every year or so, depending on the type of system you have and the quality of your water.
  • Sanitizing the water filtration system: The water filtration system should be sanitized once a year to kill any bacteria or mold that may have accumulated.

How often should you have your water filtration system maintained?

It’s important to have your water filtration system maintained once a year, or more often if you have a high-volume system or if your water is particularly dirty. If you’re not sure how often you should have your water filtration system maintained, give JKA a call for a consultation.
