RO vs UV Purifiers: Common Repair Issues and Fixes

RO Purifier

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.

 Indicator Malfunction (UV)

Faulty lights or sensors can cause confusion. This is often fixed by replacing the indicator or checking internal wiring.

 Water Leakage (Both)

Leaks in RO or UV units are usually due to loose connections or worn-out seals, which can be repaired quickly by a technician.
