Is Your Reverse Osmosis System Working Properly? Here’s How to Know

Reverse osmosis systems provide excellent drinking water, but like any filtration system, they need regular care to keep working at peak performance.

At All Around Water Services, we help Cape Coral and North Fort Myers homeowners maintain and service their RO systems—so every glass of water stays clean, crisp, and safe.

How to Tell if Your RO System Needs Attention

Even high-quality reverse osmosis systems can lose effectiveness over time. Look for these common signs that yours may need maintenance:

• Drop in water pressure from the RO faucet

• Water tastes flat, salty, or metallic

• Filters haven’t been changed in over a year

• Tank takes too long to fill or won’t fill at all

• Visible sediment in drinking water

• Unusual smells or cloudy appearance

If you notice any of these, your filters or membrane may be clogged, worn, or failing.

Key Components That Need Regular Replacement

1. Pre-filters (sediment and carbon): Typically replaced every 6–12 months

2. RO membrane: Usually lasts 2–3 years

3. Post-filter (carbon): Replaced annually

4. Storage tank & faucet: Checked for pressure and flow consistency

Sticking to a maintenance schedule ensures your system continues to remove contaminants like chlorine, lead, bacteria, and more.

Florida-Specific RO Issues

Local water conditions can speed up wear on your system. Florida’s water often contains:

• High mineral content (hard water)

• Chlorine and chloramines

• Organic material from natural aquifers

• Sediment, especially in well water

That’s why local water systems need local service. We tailor our RO recommendations to your home’s unique water profile.
