What is the frequency of routine RO disinfection?

Routine reverse osmosis (RO) disinfection is typically performed on a monthly basis. This regular frequency is essential for maintaining the effectiveness of the RO system by ensuring that any potential bacterial growth or biofilm formation is controlled. Monthly disinfection helps to sustain water quality and system performance, aligns with manufacturer recommendations, and adheres to regulatory compliance requirements.

Performing disinfection less frequently, such as bi-annually or annually, may not adequately prevent contaminants from building up, which could compromise the quality of the water produced and the integrity of the RO membranes. Regular monthly disinfection is therefore a proactive step to ensure optimal system operation and compliance with health standards.
