How to Clean the Screen Filter
The purpose of the Screen Filter is to prevent large particles or other debris from entering the system. If the
Screen Filter becomes blocked with debris, then the Feedwater will not flow freely to the system.
It is recommended to clean the Screen Filter twice a year or whenever it may have become clogged.
