AquaCare: Maintenance
Weekly Maintenance of the AquaCare
Once a week, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the AquaCare Unit in order to
maintain the unit’s performance. Failure to perform these maintenance steps may lead
to a drop-off in the performance of the unit.
Step 1
Turn off the unit, allow it to decompress (approx 30 seconds)
Remove the dosing chamber lids, clean out the inside of the lids using your aspirator
or air line. Wipe the rubber seals inside the lid with dry cloth.
Apply a small amount of chalk stick to the rubber seals. (The chalk powder lubricates
the seal and makes it easier to tighten the lids I/ASS9316A place).
Step 2
Remove the powder cartridge from the dosing chambers and remove any powder in
the chamber using a vacuum hose, and wipe out the dosing chamber with a dry lint-
free cloth
The dosing chambers and dosing chamber lids are made of special materials and are
repeatedly pressurised. They should be checked for any visible damage whenever the
powder is changed. If there is any damage visible, do not use the AquaCare unit until
it has been inspected by a Velopex representative or Authorised Distributor. These will
also be checked during the annual service and safety check, please see page 39.
Check that the powder in the cartridges is flowing freely by slightly rotating or shaking
them over your aspirator or sink. If the powder is not flowing well, try shaking more
vigorously. If this does not work, the powder cartridge should be replaced. It may
have encountered moisture ingress and may need drying out. Return the free flowing
cartridges to their dosing chambers and refit the dosing chamber lids, ensure that they
are fully tightened (this should be easier with the added chalk powder).
Step 3
Remove the Aquasol bottle (Cutting fluid), clean out the bottle reservoir (socket)
with a lint-free cloth or paper, check that there is no mould growth in the reservoir if
found.
Use a cotton bud soaked with AquaSol to clean the socket of any growths. If the
socket has accumulated powder/dust, use the AquaCare (position 1, Air, on the foot
pedal) to blow out the socket as required.
WARNING: Under no circumstances must any cleaning agent, including surface
wipes containing alcohol, come into contact with the case of the dosing
chambers.
