The advantages and disadvantages of one-way water purifier valves
Advantages
The one-way valve is a fairly common product on the market, easy to find and affordable. It has a simple operating mechanism, is less prone to damage, so users also require less repair and maintenance. Moreover, the valve is used in many different environments with various functions.
Disadvantages
One common issue with one-way water purifier valves is the rubber cushion being open, thin, and easily damaged, causing the sealing gasket to become loose and resulting in fluid leakage. Therefore, when purchasing a one-way valve, you need to carefully check to avoid wasting money on unusable products.
How to check for some common faults of one-way water purifier valves
During usage and installation, one-way water purifier valves often encounter some basic minor issues as we share below. You can refer to and apply them to suit your family's situation.
- The water purifier operates continuously throughout the day without interruption: When encountering this situation, you need to check the water purifier's pipelines and joints to see if there are any leaks at the connections or any water leakage. If so, tighten the connections or replace the valve to ensure safety.
- If it's not due to a faulty valve, you need to check the RO membrane inside the water purifier by: locking the pressure tank valve and disconnecting the water supply line to the tank. If pure water continues to flow out steadily, then the RO membrane in your family's water purifier is still functioning normally and not faulty. However, if water drips or does not flow out, the RO membrane may be clogged, and you need to replace it with a new one for the water purifier to continue operating.
