Look, maintaining your RO system is not exciting. It’s like flossing for your pipes. But if you skip it, you’ll eventually drink water that tastes like a dusty basement with notes of regret. Change the pre-filters every six months, sanitize annually, replace the membrane every three years, and don’t let the tank go flat.
Your water gnome will thank you. And you’ll never have to explain why your ice cubes taste like a retired plumber’s socks. Go forth, hydrator. Go forth and maintain.
