Investing in a Smart Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is a great choice for those who want peace of mind that your drinking, cooking, and washing water is clean, safe, and delicious. Reverse Osmosis is a water purification process that involves removing impurities from water by forcing it through a semipermeable membrane, which removes contaminants like minerals, particles, and dissolved salts.
At Watermaker, we are proud to be a supplier of the Hero-385 Plus, a Smart Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System that is equipped with smart features for enhanced functionality and convenience. The Hero-385 Plus patented HydroLink Plus® Wi-Fi-enabled technology allows users to receive real-time monitoring through their smartphones, including product performance, alerts, water usage, and filter life information.
Once you’ve installed a smart RO system, you’ll need to download the app and connect it to the RO system. After the initial setup, you’ll be able to do things like set up alerts, see how many gallons per day your household uses, and see exactly when you need to do some system maintenance.
To keep your Smart RO System working at peak performance, here are five tips to maximize the benefits of your system.
- Regular Maintenance and Filter Replacement – Always follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your smart RO system, including replacing filters and membranes as needed to ensure optimal performance and water quality. On the app, you can see exactly how many days are left until the next filter or membrane change so you can plan ahead.
- Monitor Water Quality Regularly – A Smart RO System offers real-time monitoring features so you can regularly check the quality of your water. Keep an eye out for changes in taste, odor, or clarity, which may indicate a need for filter replacement, system maintenance, or a problem with your local water supply.
- Optimise Water Pressure – To ensure adequate flow and consistent performance throughout your plumbing system, you can optimize your water pressure by checking and adjusting your pressure regulator, inspecting your plumbing, and cleaning your fixtures. If necessary, you can install a pressure-boosting device. This helps your smart RO system function properly.
- Efficient Water Usage – Check your homes for leaks in plumbing fixtures, pipes, and irrigation systems to avoid water wastage. Even small leaks can add up to significant costs over time! Install water-saving appliances to reduce your water consumption. Adopt water-saving habits, like turning off taps while brushing teeth, taking shorter showers, and only running the dishwasher when full.
- Integrate with Smart Home Systems – We have so much technology at our fingertips. Let’s use it! Many smart home water systems are compatible with home platforms like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This allows users to control water-related devices and receive alerts using voice commands or through other connected devices.
