Water runs through your home every single day. Regular maintenance ensures your filtration system continues to perform as intended.
Staying on top of maintenance helps:
It's a small commitment that protects a long-term investment.
Filter replacement timing depends on your system type, household size, water source and local conditions.
For most mains-filtered homes, a 6-12 month cycle is typical. Replacing filters as recommended keeps water quality and flow consistent. Overdue filters can gradually reduce performance and place unnecessary strain on the system.
You can find detailed step-by-step guidance on replacement timing and procedures on the Filter Replacement page.
Whole home systems typically require annual filter replacement. Between services, simple visual checks of housings and fittings help identify issues early. Monitoring pressure and flow at taps also provides reassurance that the system is operating efficiently and protecting water quality throughout the home.
To maintain high-quality drinking water, filters should be replaced at least every 12 months. Waiting for flow to slow is a common misconception, as many impurities are tasteless and odourless, meaning water quality can decline before any visible change. Following a regular service schedule ensures effective filtration. Because the RO membrane is a delicate component, servicing and replacements are best carried out by a qualified technician to maintain performance and warranty coverage.
Rainwater systems require periodic inspection of pre-filters for sediment build-up and regular monitoring of the UV lamp. The UV lamp must remain powered consistently to operate correctly. Interruptions to power or missed lamp replacements can compromise disinfection performance. The UV lamp should be replaced every year. Routine checks ensure your rainwater remains safe, clear and properly treated year-round.
Ongoing care does not require tools or technical knowledge.
Simply:
Never dismantle sealed components or modify plumbing connections, as this may impact safety and warranty protection.
Your warranty protection depends on proper installation and ongoing maintenance.
To maintain coverage:
Skipping maintenance or using unapproved parts can void warranty protection.
A reverse osmosis filter is a water filtration system that uses pressure and a semipermeable membrane to remove impurities from drinking water, producing highly purified water.
