5 Common KENT RO Issues and How to Fix Them

Owning a KENT RO water purifier is a great way to ensure safe drinking water for your home. However, like any appliance, it can occasionally experience issues that affect its performance. Whether it's reduced water flow, unusual tastes, or persistent alarms, understanding the common problems with your KENT RO system and knowing how to fix them can save you time, money, and frustration. In this blog, we’ll discuss five of the most common issues with KENT RO purifiers and provide practical solutions. And when in doubt, you can always count on SORT SET’s expert technicians to handle more complex repairs.

1. Low or Reduced Water Flow

One of the most frequent issues with RO purifiers is reduced water flow. This can happen due to various reasons, including:

• Clogged filters: Over time, the sediment and carbon filters can become clogged with impurities, slowing the flow of water.

• Fouled membrane: The RO membrane, responsible for removing dissolved salts and impurities, can become fouled or damaged, resulting in slower purification.

Solution: Replace the sediment and carbon filters regularly, typically every 6 to 12 months. If the problem persists, it could be due to a fouled RO membrane, which may need to be replaced every 2 years. SORT SET offers fast and affordable filter and membrane replacement services to ensure your system functions at optimal performance.

2. Unusual Taste or Smell in Water

If you notice a strange taste or odor in the purified water, it’s a clear sign that your KENT RO system isn’t working as it should. This can occur due to:

• Expired filters: Old or ineffective filters allow impurities, including chlorine, dissolved solids, and bacteria, to pass through.

• Fouled membrane: A malfunctioning RO membrane might not be filtering out salts or chemicals effectively.

Solution: Check the filters and replace them if necessary. The carbon filter, in particular, is responsible for removing chlorine and odors. If the issue persists, contact SORT SET for a full system inspection to identify and replace any damaged components.

3. Persistent Filter Change Alarms

Many KENT RO models come with a filter change alarm to alert you when it’s time to replace your filters. However, if the alarm continues to go off even after you’ve changed the filters, it could indicate an internal issue with the sensor or another component.

Solution: Reset the filter change alarm following the instructions in your user manual. If the alarm persists, it’s best to call a certified technician. SORT SET’s experts can inspect and repair any faulty components to ensure your system works smoothly.

4. Water Leakage

Water leakage is another common issue that can occur due to:

• Loose fittings: Over time, fittings may become loose or wear out, leading to leaks.

• Cracked tubing or damaged parts: Excessive pressure, improper installation, or wear and tear can cause parts to crack and leak.

Solution: Check for any loose fittings and tighten them if necessary. If the leak is due to a damaged tube or internal component, contact SORT SET’s certified technicians for a leak detection and repair service. Prompt action can prevent further damage to your RO system and your home.

5. High TDS Levels in Purified Water

The TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level in your purified water should remain within a safe range. If the TDS level is higher than usual, it may indicate that your KENT RO system is not working effectively. High TDS levels are often caused by:

• Worn-out membrane: A damaged or clogged RO membrane may allow dissolved solids to pass through.

• Incorrect TDS setting: The TDS controller might be set too high, allowing more dissolved solids in the water.

Solution: Check the TDS level using a TDS meter. If the reading is higher than normal, it’s time to replace the membrane or adjust the TDS controller. SORT SET’s technicians offer TDS adjustment and membrane replacement services to ensure your water remains safe and healthy.
