Water Purifier Not Working? Here's What to Do

A properly working water purifier ensures you and your family get clean, safe drinking water. But what happens when your purifier suddenly stops working or shows signs of trouble? Don’t panic.

At SR Enterprises, we’ve helped hundreds of customers in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad troubleshoot and fix water purifier problems—fast and affordably. Here’s a practical guide on what to do when your water purifier isn’t working:

Check the Power Supply

Start with the basics. Is your water purifier plugged in properly? Is the power switch turned on?

Make sure the socket is working by testing it with another device.

Check if the power light or display panel is responsive.

If everything seems connected but the unit doesn’t power on, there might be an internal electrical fault that needs professional attention.

Inspect the Water Supply

Sometimes the issue isn’t the purifier—it’s the input water line.

Ensure the tap supplying water to the purifier is turned on.

Check for low water pressure or blockages in the inlet pipe.

If your area is facing a water supply disruption, your purifier may shut down automatically.

Look for Filter or Membrane Clogs

Over time, the filters in your RO or UV purifier can get clogged due to sediment, dirt, or impurities.

Signs of clogged filters:

Unusual taste or smell in water

Slow water flow

Continuous purification cycles

SR Enterprises offers quick and affordable filter replacements for all major brands like Kent, Aquaguard, Livpure, Pureit, and more.

Reset or Restart the System

Some advanced water purifiers have reset or diagnostic buttons. Check the user manual to see if a system reset resolves the issue.

Look for Leaks or Noises

Dripping or leaking around the unit could indicate a loose pipe or damaged part.

Loud humming or vibrating sounds may point to a pump or motor problem.

Don’t try to fix internal components yourself—it could void the warranty or cause more damage. Our expert technicians are trained to repair all types of water purifier issues on-site.

Check Indicator Lights

Modern purifiers show errors using indicator lights or digital codes.

Blinking lights or color changes often mean:

Filters need to be replaced

UV lamp malfunction

Water level sensor issues

If you're unsure what the indicator means, SR Enterprises can inspect and repair the unit with genuine parts.
