If you use a water treatment system
(filtration, softener, UV disinfection, etc.), 
regular maintenance is crucial for its effectiveness. Please note that not all water wells need to have treatment. The information below is for homes with treatment only. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions for maintenance. You should always follow the maintenance schedule provided by your water treatment professional.
Routine Maintenance for Common Systems:
- Sediment Filters: Replace every 3–6 months to prevent clogging
- Water Softeners: Check salt levels monthly; clean brine tank annually
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: Replace pre-filters every 6–12 months; membranes every 2–5 years
- UV Purification: Replace UV bulbs annually for optimal disinfection
Signs Your System Needs Attention:
- Water has an off taste or odor
- Scale buildup or staining returns
- Reduced water pressure or slow filtration
Pro Tip: Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and keep records of filter changes and service.
