FAQs
What impurities do Reliance water filtration systems remove?
Our multi-stage systems target sediment, chlorine, lead, cysts, pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bad taste/odour, and, in reverse-osmosis (RO) models, dissolved salts (TDS), nitrates, fluoride, arsenic and some pharmaceuticals. Independent lab tests verify that each cartridge stage meets or exceeds NSF/ANSI performance standards for the listed contaminants.
How often should I replace the filters or membranes?
Typical service life is 6–12 months for sediment and carbon pre-filters, 24 months for carbon block post-filters, and 2–5 years for RO membranes (depending on feed-water quality and usage). A pressure drop, noticeable taste change, or reaching the rated gallon capacity—whichever comes first—signals replacement time. Each system ships with a maintenance schedule and colour-coded cartridges for quick swaps.
Will the filtration system work with my existing plumbing?
Yes. Reliance under-sink and whole-house units are supplied with standard ½″ or ¾″ NPT fittings, flexible braided hoses, and push-fit adapters that match typical copper, PEX, or CPVC lines. Installation requires only basic hand tools; no soldering is needed. For non-standard setups, we offer adapter kits, and our technical support can guide you or your plumber through the connection process.
What is the difference between carbon, UV and reverse-osmosis options?
• Carbon filtration physically adsorbs chlorine, organics and odours, improving taste. • UV disinfection uses ultraviolet light to inactivate bacteria, viruses and protozoa; it adds biological protection but does not remove chemicals. • Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, stripping 90-99 % of dissolved salts and heavy metals. Many customers pair RO with carbon pre/post-filters and optional UV for a comprehensive solution.
What routine maintenance does the system require?
Beyond scheduled cartridge changes, flush the system for 3–5 minutes after each filter replacement, sanitize RO storage tanks annually with a food-grade disinfectant, and check O-rings for wear. UV lamps should be cleaned every six months and replaced yearly to maintain germicidal intensity. Whole-house units may need periodic back-washing or media re-bedding, which the built-in controller will prompt automatically.
How do I choose the right capacity or model for my home or business?
Count fixtures and occupants: a 3–4 GPM under-sink RO suits a household of up to five, while an 8–12 GPM whole-house system matches 2–3 bathrooms. For commercial sites, size to peak demand (gallons per minute) and daily volume. Our online calculator factors in inlet TDS, pressure, and temperature; you can also email a recent water test and we’ll send a tailored quote within 24 hours.
