Symptom

Audible air leak and fall in performance.

Action

Ensure that the dosing chamber lid is tightly closed. If the dosing chamber lid is loose or 
not correctly sealed, a large amount of air will leak from the machine. Turn the unit off 
and carefully wipe the inner Lid seal and Dosing Chamber sealing faces. Screw the lid 
on tightly until it has reached the end of its thread.

In order to ensure that the AquaCare continues to function safely and reliably, it is 
important that you contact your Velopex supplier to book an annual service and safety 
check every 12 months.

If during use there is a problem that could not be rectified after following the 
troubleshooting checks (as detailed on pages 36-38), then a service will be required to 
rectify the fault.

NOTE: On previous machines in the range, some of these tasks could have been 
performed by the end user, however the latest MK5 design does not allow access 
to the machine and therefore must be performed via Velopex support.

A. Replacing the air filters every 12 months.
B. Replacing the powder pinch tube every 12 months.
C. Replacing the powder pinch tube member every 12 months.
D. Dosing chamber - inspection required - replaced every 24 months.
E. Dosing chamber lid - inspection required - replaced every 24 months.

Annual service and safety check

The following elements will be addressed during the annual service.
