Many homeowners are unaware that a domestic water filter is installed in their drinking water installation - let alone that it needs to be serviced regularly. The filter not only protects the water quality, but also the entire domestic installation. Those who ignore this simple measure risk damage and hygiene problems - and a lot can be achieved with little effort.
Why a water filter is important
Drinking water always contains small amounts of sand, rust particles or deposits from old pipes. These particles can damage fittings, clog appliances or affect the water pressure. A domestic water filter - usually installed directly behind the water meter - traps these substances. This protects the entire system from the cellar to the kitchen and extends the service life of all water-bearing appliances.
Observe maintenance obligation
DIN 1988-200 stipulates that domestic water filters must be serviced or cleaned regularly - usually every six months for backwash filters and at least every six to twelve months for non-backwash filters. Maintenance can be carried out by specialist companies, but some models can also be serviced by the user. If you neglect to do this, you not only lose your warranty claims, but also risk damage due to contaminated water.
Clever use of service intervals
Many installers offer maintenance contracts or reminder services - a good solution to ensure that filter maintenance is not forgotten. The condition of the water filter should be checked especially before moving into an existing property. Up-to-date maintenance documentation can also inspire confidence when buying or selling - and shows that the property has been looked after.
Conclusion
Maintaining the house water filter is a small measure with a big impact. Owners who carry out regular checks prevent damage - and ensure clean water and safe technology in the home in the long term.
