omeowners in Coolidge often ask us if they should fix an old drinking water filter or just get a brand-new one. If you have a small issue, like a leaky plastic hose or a broken sink faucet, a simple repair is usually the best and cheapest option. Aqua Science can service most major brands to get your current system working properly again without a huge cost.

However, if your Reverse Osmosis system is more than ten years old, the plastic housings can get weak and start to crack under normal water pressure. If you are dealing with constant leaks under your sink or you can no longer find the right replacement filters, upgrading to a modern system is the smarter choice. New systems run faster, waste less water, and prevent water damage in your kitchen cabinets.

To make sure your water stays completely clean, you must change the filters on a regular schedule. In Coolidge, our water can have a lot of dirt and sediment that clogs up filters very quickly. If you wait until the water flow slows down to a trickle at the faucet, the filter is already overworked and allowing dirty water to pass through into your glass.

Aqua Science recommends changing your main drinking water filters every 6 to 12 months. This keeps your family’s drinking water safe and also protects the more expensive parts of the system, like the RO membrane, from getting damaged. Regular filter changes are the simple key to making your purification system last a long time.
