Maintenance 

 
Maintenance of your new water filter requires very little time or effort but it is essential.  Regular maintenance will ensure many 
years of efficient and trouble-free operation. 
 
1.

 

Periodically make sure your pump is performing satisfactorily to ensure sufficient water is available for backwashing the filter. 

2.

 

Check that the air charger is still drawing air for a minimum of 20 seconds or one third of the pump cycle time whichever is 
greater. 

3.

 

Periodically test your raw and filtered water to ensure conditions are still the same for your original settings and that the unit 
is working they way it is intended to. 

4.

 

Periodically check that the drainline and the line between the air charger and the pressure tank are clear and free from any 
obstructions.
