Maintaining the Boiler 13
4.3 Cleaning the Inlet Water Filter (DHW
side)
To clean the filter:
1. Drain the DHW side of the boiler. Refer to “4.2 Draining the
Boiler” on page 12.
2. While the filter is removed, rinse it with clean running water
(cold) and, if necessary, scrub it clean with a brush.
3. Reinsert and tighten the filter.
4. Fill the boiler and check for proper operation.
5. Close off any heating zones that do not require draining and
open a purge valve to drain the space heating side. Open all
domestic hot water faucets completely to drain the water
heating side. The water that remains in the plumbing lines will
drain out.
