A Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purifier is essential for providing clean and safe drinking water. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity, your Sanaky RO water purifier requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Over time, filters can clog, bacteria can build up, and components may wear out, affecting the efficiency and purity of the water.
This guide will cover step-by-step cleaning methods, filter replacement schedules, troubleshooting common issues, and best practices to keep your Sanaky RO system in top condition.


Why Regular Maintenance is Important

 

Maintaining your Sanaky RO purifier ensures: 
✔ Consistently clean and safe drinking water – Prevents bacterial contamination. 
✔ Efficient filtration – Avoids clogged filters that slow down water flow. 
✔ Longer lifespan of the RO system – Reduces wear and tear on components. 
✔ Lower maintenance costs – Prevents expensive repairs and replacements.
Neglecting maintenance can lead to foul-smelling water, slow filtration, and a drop in water quality.


Regular Cleaning Schedule for Sanaky RO Purifiers

 

To keep your RO system running smoothly, follow this cleaning and maintenance schedule:

ComponentCleaning FrequencyCleaning Frequency
Sediment FilterRinse every 3 monthsReplace every 6–12 months
Carbon Pre-FilterRinse every 3 monthsReplace every 6–12 months
RO MembraneFlush every 6 monthsReplace every 2–3 years
Post-Carbon FilterClean every 6 monthsReplace every 12 months
Storage TankSanitize every 6 monthsReplace every 3–5 years

If you notice a drop in water pressure or a change in taste, check the filters sooner than scheduled.


Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Sanaky RO Purifier


Step 1: Turn Off the System
✔ Shut off the water supply valve and power source. 
✔ Drain the storage tank completely.


Step 2: Clean the Pre-Filters
✔ Remove the sediment and carbon pre-filters. 
✔ Rinse under running water to remove dirt and debris. 
✔ If clogged, replace with new filters.


Step 3: Flush the RO Membrane
✔ If your RO system has an auto-flushing feature, activate it. 
✔ If manual, disconnect the membrane housing and rinse with clean water. 
✔ Do not use detergents; only use RO membrane cleaning solution if necessary.


Step 4: Sanitize the Storage Tank
✔ Mix a solution of 1 teaspoon of unscented bleach or hydrogen peroxide with 1 liter of water. 
✔ Pour the solution into the tank and let it sit for 30 minutes. 
✔ Rinse thoroughly with clean water until the smell disappears.


Step 5: Clean the Tubing & Pipes
✔ Detach tubing and flush with water. 
✔ Use food-grade hydrogen peroxide to sanitize, then rinse completely.


Step 6: Reassemble and Flush the System
✔ Reconnect all components securely. 
✔ Turn on the water supply and let the system flush for 5–10 minutes before use.
After cleaning, discard the first 2–3 liters of water to ensure no residual cleaning agents remain.


Troubleshooting Common RO System Issues


Even with regular maintenance, you may encounter some issues. Here’s how to fix them:


Slow Water Flow or Low Pressure

✔ Possible Causes: Clogged filters, low water pressure, or faulty pump. 
✔ Solution: Replace clogged filters and check if the booster pump is working properly.


Unpleasant Taste or Odor in Water

✔ Possible Causes: Expired post-carbon filter, bacterial buildup in storage tank. 
✔ Solution: Replace the post-carbon filter and sanitize the storage tank.


Continuous Water Running (System Not Shutting Off)
✔ Possible Causes: Faulty auto shut-off valve or leak in tubing. 
✔ Solution: Check for leaks and replace the shut-off valve if necessary.
If problems persist, contact Sanaky customer support for professional servicing.


Best Practices for Long-Lasting Performance


✔ Use only genuine Sanaky filters and spare parts to maintain efficiency. 
✔ Check TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels monthly to ensure proper filtration. 
✔ Keep the purifier in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth. 
✔ Flush the system after long periods of non-use to remove stagnant water. 
✔ Schedule professional servicing every 12–18 months for deep cleaning and inspection.
If you live in an area with high sediment or chlorine content, replace pre-filters more frequently.
