4 - MAINTENANCE
Before undertaking any maintenance,
disconnect the device from the electricity and water supply!
Periodically check that the amount of water reaching the slinger is correct, if necessary adjust the flow regulator.
Keep the disks, the tank and the internal components clean, and prevent dirt accumulation on the lid.
4.1 Cleaning the disk
Keep the disk clean to avoid the formation of calcareous deposits or accumulation of dirt, which could cause an
increase in vibration or coarse nebulization.
To clean the rotating disk, simply use a soft damp cloth and a non-toxic and solvent free detergent, and be
careful to rub without excessive pressure.
Do not use solvents.
The fixed disk should be cleaned with a small brush with stiff bristles, rub the teeth, being careful not to damage
them.
Any eventual limescale can be removed with muriatic acid diluted with water.
4.2 Cleaning the tank
Periodically clean the water tank.
To access it, unscrew the two screws on the lid and pull gently, grasping the grip.
To ease the cleaning, it is possible to remove the float’s ball and the pump.
To remove the ball it is necessary to unscrew the plastic arm of the float (Fig. 4.1).
To remove the pump it is necessary to operate while holding with a no. 13 spanner the stop ring that blocks the
pump and pull gently the pump up to complete removal.
Once all these operations have been completed, it is possible to clean the interior of the tank with a cloth or a
sponge, rubbing gently on the walls.
Do not use solvents
.
It is necessary to periodically check the functioning and the cleanliness of the pump and the float.
Each 2-3 months clean the internal parts of the pump with warm water.

the stop ring that blocks he pump with a no. 13 spanner and pull the pump gently up to complete removal.
Remove the nylon pawl from the pump supply and fit it onto the new pump. Repeat the sequence backward,
being careful to reposition the float so that the water level inside the tank covers the pump completely.
