Whirlpool and Brita central water filtration systems require minimal maintenance. The internal filter is programmed to be cleaned every 14 days. To keep the filter in good condition, it is important to rinse, clean and drain it regularly. Maintenance and cleaning of storage tanks (if used) is also necessary.
Today, several types of water treatment technologies are used in public water and wastewater facilities. These treatments include flocculation, aeration, coagulation, filtration, lime softening, disinfection, etc. Many of these same concepts have been reduced and are used in residential point-of-entry equipment. Despite this, some impurities can pass through public systems.
In addition, the chemicals used in public systems are reacting with the aging and deterioration of the distribution system's pipes, so homeowners want to receive more treatment for their peace of mind. Buying and installing a home water filtration unit is a great first step in providing clean, healthy water for you and your family. Regular testing is also important to ensure that the system is working as it should. Residential water treatment technologies can include reverse osmosis (RO) systems, whole-house filters, water softeners, UV lights, ionizers, etc. The easiest water filtration system maintenance you can perform is to replace the filter regularly.
