Maintaining your reverse osmosis (RO) membrane is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Regularly check and replace pre-filters to prevent contaminants from reaching the membrane. Periodically flush the membrane with a cleaning solution to remove any buildup of minerals or organic matter. Monitor water pressure and temperature, as extreme conditions can damage the membrane. Avoid using harsh chemicals during cleaning, opting for pH-neutral solutions instead. Additionally, inspect the membrane for signs of wear or leaks, and replace it every 2-3 years, depending on usage. By following these tips, you can extend the lifespan of your RO membrane and improve water quality.
