When a technician installs a water purifier, they typically perform a series of steps to ensure proper installation, functionality, and safety. Below is an outline of the work a technician generally does during the installation of a water purifier:

1. Pre-Installation Preparation

  • Site Assessment: The technician inspects the installation site to check if it’s suitable for the purifier. This involves looking for a nearby water source, power outlet, and ensuring there’s enough space for the unit.
  • Check for Equipment: Ensures that all the parts of the water purifier (e.g., filters, membrane, pipes, mounting hardware) are available and in good condition.
  • Customer Briefing: Explains the installation process to the customer and confirms details like the preferred location for the purifier.

2. Water Supply Connection

  • Turn off Water Supply: Shuts off the water supply to avoid any leaks or spills during the installation.
  • Install Inlet Pipe: Connects the water purifier to the main water supply by installing the inlet pipe. This step may involve cutting or adjusting existing pipes to ensure a proper fit.
  • Install Outlet Pipe: Ensures that the purified water outlet is connected to the designated point where the treated water will be dispensed.

3. Mounting and Positioning the Purifier

  • Install Mounting Bracket: If required, the technician installs a wall mounting bracket or places the purifier in a suitable location on the counter or under the sink.
  • Secure the Unit: Ensures the purifier is securely mounted or positioned, ensuring stability and ease of access for future maintenance.

4. Electrical Connections

  • Check Power Supply: Ensures that the power outlet is properly connected and functional.
  • Connect Electrical Components: For purifiers with electrical components (like UV lights or pumps), the technician connects the device to the power supply and ensures it's safely wired.

5. Filter Installation

  • Install Filters/Cartridges: Places the required filters (e.g., pre-filters, carbon filters, UV or RO membranes) into the purifier unit. This step may involve inserting or replacing the cartridges and ensuring they're sealed properly to prevent leaks.
  • Check Alignment: Ensures that all filters and components are properly aligned for optimal performance.

6. Initial Testing

  • Check Water Flow: The technician turns on the water supply and checks for any leaks in the pipes or connections.
  • Run the System: Turns on the purifier to check if all components (e.g., filtration, UV, pump) are working correctly.
  • Flush the System: If necessary, the technician may flush the purifier for a few minutes to clear any impurities from the system before it begins normal operation.

7. Quality Check

  • Water Quality Test: Depending on the model, the technician may perform a water quality test to ensure the purifier is effectively removing contaminants.
  • Pressure Test: If applicable, the technician checks the water pressure to make sure it’s within the recommended range for optimal filtration.

8. Customer Briefing

  • Explain the Features: The technician explains the purifier’s functions, including how to operate it and any features such as changing filters, using UV or RO technology, etc.
  • Maintenance Tips: The technician provides guidance on regular maintenance, such as cleaning the filters, changing cartridges, and scheduling professional servicing.
  • Demonstrate Usage: Demonstrates how to use the water purifier properly, including how to set up and monitor water output.

9. Final Checks

  • Check for Leaks: Ensures that there are no leaks around the system or connections after the installation is complete.
  • Clean the Area: Cleans up the installation site and disposes of any packaging or leftover materials.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Ensures that the customer is satisfied with the installation and answers any final questions.

10. Documentation

  • Provide Warranty and Receipt: Gives the customer the warranty information and a receipt for the service.

11. Post-Installation Service

  • Schedule Follow-Up: If needed, the technician may schedule a follow-up visit for maintenance or to address any potential issues.

This list covers the general scope of work involved in water purifier installation, though specific steps may vary depending on the type of water purifier and the manufacturer.
