AIR FILTER CLEANING/REPLACEMENT
Air filter cleaning or replacement: Remove compressor air intake filter and wash with soap and water or replace.
This should be done 2-4 times per year. Never re-install a wet or damp filter.
On the inside of the cabinet lid or the outside back cover of this Owner’s Manual, you will find a Vertex parts list
that provides you the necessary parts information for ordering replacement parts. Call Vertex at 844-432-4303
with your 4 digit system warranty number or serial number off of the silver ETL sticker, found inside the cabinet.
Vertex can also supply you with the necessary replacement parts information.
PISTON CUP REPLACEMENT
Under normal year-round, continuous use, the compressor piston cups typically last 12-36 months depending
upon the environmental conditions. As the piston cups wear out, you’ll notice a drop in air flow (despite air filter
replacement) resulting in smaller surface boils.
CABINET COOLING FAN REPLACEMENT
Cooling fans provide critical cooling for the cabinet components. If the cooling fans fail, cabinet temperatures will
drastically increase and damage the compressor system.
For systems that run continuously, we recommend replacing the cooling fans every two or three years during
compressor maintenance.
DISK FLEX-CLEANING PROCEDURES
Routine maintenance of the AirStation™ disks is recommended once per year. This procedure is known as disk
flexing. Over time organic matter and algae can settle on the AirStations™ and inhibit the release of micro-bubbles,
in turn reducing the effectiveness of the AirStation™.
Disk flexing helps unclog the pores in the membranes, reduces back pressure on the compressor(s), and restores
the performance of the AirStation™.
Disk flexing is very easy and is done from the cabinet valve manifold or valve box manifold location.
Open the cabinet and make a line with a permanent marker on each valve body and handle that line up with each
other in the valve’s present position. This will help re-balance the system once you finish flex cleaning the disks.
