3.3 Testing
When the pump is on standby mode,
the switch is not lit up. To power up the
Milliflex Oasis
®
pump, touch the front of the
pump between the two switches with your
fingertip.
Note: If starting a filtration without a
filtration unit placed on the filtration
head, you will hear a whistle noise, this
is due to a check valve found in each
pump head and is perfectly normal. If
the pump is started after having placed
a filtration unit on the pump head, this
noise will not be heard.
• Place the Milliflex Oasis
®
filtration unit
on the pump head, lining up one of the
unit’s frosted strips with the pump’s
colored background

rest the cover back on the plate
• When the liquid is totally filtered,
touch the switch once more to stop the
filtration, the membrane dry-out will
automatically start
