6 Maintenance

For continuous smooth operation of the water management system make
regular checks of the following:
• Water level in the overflow box - adjust the flow valve as required
• Water level in the reservoir – top up with RO water as required
• Water level in the sump, check that the top-up float valve is
operating correctly
• Micron Filter Bags – check that water is flowing through the bags
and clean/replace as required
• Surface skimmer combs – remove any deposits that reduce water flow
• Pump outlet nozzle – check for blockages and build-up of algae
Micron Filter bags
It is recommended to have at least 3 sets of filter bags.
There are a few options for cleaning the filter bags:
Quick and effective – Spray the outside of the bags with a powerful
water jet such as a garden hose to back-flush the detritus from the felt.
More thorough – soak the bags in bleach or diluted vinegar for 24 hours
prior to spraying as above. Rinse well to remove all chemicals before
returning to sump.
The filter bags can also be put in a cold wash in a washing machine with regular
detergent or with vinegar (may require approval from a higher authority).
