MALFUNCTION
Leaks between
housing sump
and housing
head.
Leaks in
inlet / outlet
connections.
CAUSE
a. Housing not
sufficiently
tightened.
b. O-ring affected/old.
a. Not enough sealant
and/or connection
not sufficiently
tightened.
b. Improper
connection type.
REMEDY
a. Tighten further the housing with
the wrench.
b. If the housing still leaks, change
the housing’s o-ring with a new
one (use original replacement /
spare parts).
a. Remove the previous sealing tape
from the fitting and place more
sealing tape and or tighten the
connection properly.
b. Use only housings that match the
type of fittings as indicated in the
data plate.
NPT tapered fittings fit only to
housings with NPT indication in
the data plate. BSPP parallel
fittings fit only to housings
without NPT indication in the
data plate.
After carrying out maintenance operations, run the tap
for at least 5 minutes before using the water.
At re-start after every maintenance operation change the o-ring with a new one
and carefully lubricate before tightening the sump to the head, then make sure
that there are no water leaks. In case of leakage, remove the o-ring from the sump,
place a new o-ring and apply lubricant.
