FAQs
Why is routine maintenance important for my home water purification system in Ocoee?
Regular maintenance keeps filters, membranes, and UV lamps working at peak efficiency, ensuring your family always has clean, great-tasting water. Ocoee’s municipal supply contains moderate hardness and trace amounts of chlorine and chloramine; if cartridges clog or wear out, those contaminants can slip through, damage appliances, and shorten the life of the filtration unit. Scheduled tune-ups also prevent leaks that could raise water bills or create hidden mold problems in Florida’s humid climate.
How often should I change filters and membranes in my reverse-osmosis or whole-home water filter?
Pre-sediment and carbon cartridges typically need replacement every 6–12 months in Ocoee, where average household usage is about 80–100 gallons per day. RO membranes last 2–3 years, and whole-house media tanks last 5–10 years, depending on hardness and chlorine levels. A licensed plumber will test incoming water, measure flow rates, and adjust the schedule to your exact conditions.
What signs indicate that my water purification equipment needs servicing?
Common red flags are a noticeable drop in water pressure at filtered taps, metallic or chlorine tastes, cloudy or tinted water, and beeping or warning lights on digital control heads. You might also see white scale spots on dishes or fixtures sooner than normal. Any puddling around filter housings, softener brine tanks, or RO systems means a seal or fitting may be failing and should be inspected immediately.
Can I perform basic maintenance myself, or should I call a licensed Ocoee plumber?
Homeowners can replace standard sediment or carbon cartridges if they are comfortable shutting off water, depressurizing housings, and following the manufacturer’s sanitation steps. However, tasks such as sanitizing RO storage tanks, re-bedding carbon media, calibrating electronic valves, and pressure-testing for leaks are best left to a licensed plumber familiar with Florida building codes. Professional servicing preserves warranties and documents compliance if you ever sell the home.
Does Ocoee’s municipal water quality affect the type of maintenance my system needs?
Yes. Ocoee’s Water Quality Report shows moderate hardness (8–10 gpg), residual disinfectants, and seasonal spikes in organics after heavy rains. Hardness exhausts softening resins faster, while disinfectants reduce carbon life. A plumber who monitors local water data can pre-program valve settings, recommend catalytic carbon for chloramine removal, and adjust maintenance intervals before issues appear.
What is included in your professional water purification maintenance visit and how much does it cost?
Our standard visit includes a 15-point inspection: incoming pressure test, hardness/chlorine/iron sampling, pre-filter and post-filter TDS readings, replacement of sediment and carbon cartridges (parts extra), RO membrane check, softener brine draw and regeneration test, UV lamp intensity check, sanitization of housings, valve calibration, and a written water quality report. The labor fee is $149 for homes within the Ocoee city limits; filters or UV lamps average $40–$120 depending on model. Annual maintenance plans start at $12 per month and include priority scheduling and a 10% parts discount.
