Pre-Monsoon & Summer Maintenance Checklist for Solar, RO, Softeners & Pumps

Solar and water systems are built to last for years — but only if they're maintained. A little care before summer and the monsoon prevents breakdowns, keeps efficiency high and protects your investment.

Rooftop solar panels

• Rinse panels every 2–4 weeks in dry months — Bangalore dust can cut output noticeably.
• Check for bird droppings, leaves and new shadows.
• Inspect cables, MC4 connectors and earthing before the monsoon.
• Compare monthly generation on your app; a sudden drop means a check is due.

Solar water heaters

• Clean collector glass every few months.
• Descale the tank and collectors yearly in hard-water areas.
• Check the magnesium anode and replace if consumed.
• Test the electric backup and thermostat before the monsoon.
• Check insulation on hot water pipes.

Heat pumps

• Clean air filters every 3–6 months.
• Keep the outdoor unit's airflow clear.
• Listen for unusual noises; check for leaks.

Softeners, RO & filters

• Top up softener salt every 2–3 months.
• Replace RO pre-filters every 3–6 months and carbon cartridges every 6–12 months.
• Check output TDS monthly.
• Sanitise storage tanks twice a year.

Pressure pumps

• Clean the inlet strainer every 6–12 months.
• Check pressure settings and the non-return valve.
• Keep the pump dry and ventilated during the monsoon.

Rainwater harvesting

• Clean the roof and gutters before the first rains.
• Inspect the filter mesh and flush the waste outlet.
• Desilt recharge pits once a year.
