Pureit RO Water Purifier: troubleshooting and FAQs
Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Pureit RO Water Purifier.
Troubleshooting tips
If water flow is slow or stops, check if the inlet water supply is turned on and the sediment filter is not clogged. Replace the sediment filter every 3-6 months depending on usage.
If the purifier makes unusual noises, ensure the unit is placed on a flat surface and the water inlet pressure is between 0.3 and 3 kg/cm². If noise persists, contact Pureit support.
If the taste of water changes or has a foul odor, replace the carbon filter and check if the storage tank is clean. Clean the tank with a mild bleach solution and rinse thoroughly.
If the UV lamp fails (indicated by a red light or error code), reset the purifier by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. If the error persists, the UV lamp may need replacement.
If the purifier leaks, inspect the O-rings and connections for damage or misalignment. Tighten loose connections and replace damaged O-rings.
