Declaration Of Compliance - Atlas Filtri HYDRA Notice De Montage, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

WARNING: at re-start after every maintenance operation, when the filter's bowl is unscrewed from
head, change the o-ring with a new one and carefully lubricate with original lubricant Lubrikit before
tightening the bowl to the head. Make sure that there are no water leaks from the product and
especially control the tightening beteween the housing head and the housing bowl. Continue
checking that the tightening is good and there is no water leakage for 48 hours following the
installation and start-up. In case of leakage, open the housing, remove the o-ring from te bowl,
place a new o-ring and apply lubricant, then re-tighten the bowl to head and repeat the leakage
check as above. Use only original Altas Filtri o-rings, otherwise the warranty is void. Ask your Vendor
for original o-rings, Lubrikit and other spare parts.
Remark: after the maintenance, slowly turn on a water supply (tap) downstream the installed unit
and let the water flow for at least 5 minutes before the use.
WARNING: for persistent encrustations onto the filter net or if the pressure difference between the
two manometers remains above 1 BAR after cleaning the filter, replace the filter cartridge with a
new one.
WARNING: filter cartridges and the transparent bowl have an average working life, for that reason
we recommend replacing RLH and RSH plastic net cartridges at least every 24 months and RAH
stainless steel net cartridge at least every 48 months. The filter bowl must be replaced with a new
one at least every 5 years.
Follow the local regulation in force when disposing cartridges and bowls.
