📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

Safety first: Unplug your Water Purifier from the main power socket before performing any physical inspection.

Check the inlet water pressure — RO systems need min 40 PSI. Low pressure causes slow output.

Inspect all push-fit connections for drips — press the pipe firmly into the fitting to reseat.

Check if the UV indicator lamp is glowing — a burnt-out UV lamp means water is not sterilised.

Flush the system: remove the product water line and run for 10 min to clear air pockets.

After performing these checks, reconnect power and test the Water Purifier through a full cycle.

If the problem persists, avoid further DIY. Continued operation with a hardware fault can cause secondary damage.

💡 Preventive Maintenance Tips

● Check the inlet water pressure — RO systems need min 40 PSI. Low pressure causes slow output.
● Inspect all push-fit connections for drips — press the pipe firmly into the fitting to reseat.
● Check if the UV indicator lamp is glowing — a burnt-out UV lamp means water is not sterilised.
● Flush the system: remove the product water line and run for 10 min to clear air pockets.
● Service your Water Purifier every 6 months to prevent costly failures.
● Change sediment + carbon filters every 6 months. Replace RO membrane every 12–18 months.
● Document your Water Purifier model number and purchase date — it speeds up any future repair.
