FAQs
How often should I schedule routine maintenance for my home water purification system in Ocoee?
For most whole-house and under-sink systems, we recommend maintenance every 6–12 months. Ocoee’s municipal water is moderately hard and typically treated with chlorine, which can shorten the life of filters and membranes. An annual service visit allows our technicians to sanitize the unit, replace pre-filters, check pressure and flow rates, and verify that your system is meeting NSF/ANSI water quality standards. High-usage households, well-water homes, or properties with older plumbing may benefit from semi-annual visits.
What does a routine maintenance visit include?
A standard visit covers: 1) a full system inspection (housing, fittings, valves, and pressure gauges); 2) replacement of sediment, carbon, or specialty cartridges; 3) RO membrane performance testing, if applicable; 4) sanitizing and re-pressurizing storage tanks; 5) water quality testing for TDS, hardness, chlorine, and pH to ensure the system is functioning within design specs; 6) verification that drain lines, shut-off valves, and leak detectors are working; and 7) a written report with any recommended upgrades or repairs. The entire process usually takes 45–90 minutes.
How can I tell if my purification system needs service before the scheduled visit?
Common warning signs include a noticeable drop in water flow, cloudy or unpleasant-tasting water, frequent filter clogs, or the sound of the system cycling constantly. RO systems may discharge more wastewater when membranes foul. If you see leaks near filter housings or storage tanks, call us immediately. In Ocoee, seasonal spikes in algae blooms on Lake Apopka can affect municipal source water and overwhelm filters faster, so stay alert during late summer.
Will routine maintenance improve the taste and smell of Ocoee tap water?
Absolutely. Ocoee’s water is safe to drink but usually contains 0.8–1.2 mg/L of residual chlorine and 8–11 grains of hardness. Regular filter changes remove chlorine, chloramines, sulfur odors, and sediment that cause off-tastes. We also check for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals; replacing carbon blocks and polishing filters ensures fresh, crisp water year-round.
How much does annual maintenance cost and is it worth it?
Most homeowners in the Ocoee area spend $120–$180 per year for standard cartridge-based systems and $180–$250 for multi-stage RO units. This includes labor, replacement filters, performance testing, and a 12-month workmanship warranty. Routine service prevents premature membrane failure ($150+), reduces the risk of plumbing leaks, and maintains water quality; skipping maintenance can double your long-term costs and void most manufacturer warranties.
Can I replace the filters myself instead of hiring a plumber?
DIY filter changes are possible, but there are risks. Incorrect installation can strip threads, damage O-rings, or create slow leaks inside cabinets and walls. Our licensed plumbers are trained to shut off municipal supply lines properly under Ocoee’s cross-connection regulations, pressure-test the system, and dispose of spent filters in an environmentally responsible way. If you choose to DIY, follow the maker’s torque specifications, sanitize housings with food-grade peroxide, and verify TDS and chlorine levels afterward; otherwise, professional service is the safest route.
