E. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 

  

WARNING: 

The System has been 

designed and tested to offer reliable service, provided if 

it is installed, commissioned, operated, maintained and 

tested in strict accordance to the safety instructions 

contained in this manual. Failure to properly maintain 

the System will compromise performance and/or 

result in failure to control water quality which may 

lead to delivery of contaminated water. Consuming 

contaminated water could result in serious injury or 

possible death.

A Homespring Authorized Technician must perform all service 

and maintenance. As part of the annual maintenance, the 

Homespring Authorized Technician will perform an Integrity 

Test to check the condition of the System membrane and 

perform a cleaning procedure to clean the System membrane. 

This annual test and cleaning is mandatory as part of the 

5-year limited prorated membrane warranty.
If the Homespring Authorized Technician determines that 

the System has a high degree of debris and contaminants, 

causing an abnormally high reduction in System flowrate, 

the number of maintenance visits per year may be increased 

to ensure that the System functions within its acceptable 

operational parameters and to ensure that the limited 

warranty remains in effect.

Maintenance Schedule 

The following maintenance tasks must be performed every 12 

months unless specified otherwise. Refer to:

System Membrane Cleaning 

The following System cleaning procedures are performed 

by the Homespring Authorized Technician during the annual 

maintenance. 

  

WARNING: 

Disposable protective 

gloves must be worn during maintenance of the 

System to protect your hands. At the end of the 

procedure, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and 

water. Do not reuse the gloves. Dispose of the gloves in 

the garbage. 

Ensure that the two Mini Ball Valves are closed (To close, 

turn the handle perpendicular to the Plug/hose end). Remove 

the Plug from the Inlet Mini Ball Valve by depressing the lock 

ring and pulling on the Plug.
