Keep the exteriors clean: It is as important to keep the exteriors of your best RO water purifier clean, as it is to keep the inner machinery working and clean. With a clean piece of soft cloth, wipe the outside of the water purifier unit regularly, and make sure that there is no fungus growing on the dirty water discharge pipe. Make sure you also clean the tap and the smaller parts that are easy to miss out on - with a damp clean cloth, at least one every few days.
Clear the filter: The filter collects all the dirt and impurities that are taken out of your drinking water, to deliver only the highest quality drinking water for your consumption. This filter needs to be cleaned regularly, so it is clear and does the job of filtration effectively, as long as you use the water purifier with copper tank.
Fix drips and leakages: Minor breakages and leakages in your RO water purifier unit could cause major trouble in delivering good quality water. Also, water that drips and accumulates leads to the growth of funguses, and when accumulated long enough, could also foster disease-causing mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water. Dampness also causes a spreading of a variety of viruses and bacteria, leading you to a range of illnesses that you do not want.

Copper needs special care: Your water purifier with copper tank need special card as they differ from the stainless steel tanks in a variety of ways. Avoid abrasive products that might react with the copper metal to result in undesirable effects, and reduce the life of your product, while also making it more difficult for it to clean your water effectively.
