Cleaning the water pump filter
The function of the water pump filter
The pumps in the water reservoir are fitted with a foam filter that envelops the pump.
This filter has two functions:
1.
Sound absorption
: The filter prevents contact noise between the pumps and the
water reservoir
2.
Keeping the system free of obstructions
: The filter catches particles in the
water, which would otherwise be sucked in by the pump and foul the system
(obstructions in the system would reduce cooling performance).
Cleaning the water pump filter
Perform the following operation at the same time as
"Draining the water reservoir" on
page 14
.
1.
Remove the foam filter from the pump.
2.
Rinse the filter clean using fresh tap water.
3.
Refit the filter around the pumps and put them back in the water reservoir.
Note
If you do not refit the filter, the system will become fouled. The
OXYCELL must be replaced if it is allowed to become fouled.
The pumps in the water reservoir are maintenance-free. The materials used are
environentally safe and will not affect the taste or smell of the water.
