RO vs UV Purifiers: Common Repair Issues and Fixes

When it comes to choosing a water purifier, RO (Reverse Osmosis) and UV (Ultraviolet) purifiers are two of the most popular options. Both offer unique benefits and purification methods, but they also face specific technical issues over time. Understanding the common repair problems and their possible solutions can help you maintain your purifier better and ensure uninterrupted access to safe drinking water.
Low Water Flow (RO)
RO purifiers often face low flow due to clogged filters or weak water pressure. Fixing this usually involves replacing filters or adding a booster pump.
Bad Taste or Odor (RO)
If water tastes off, the carbon filter or storage tank may need cleaning or replacement.
UV Lamp Not Working (UV)
A non-functional UV lamp means no germ protection. It should be replaced every 12 months for effective purification.
