4.3 Replacement of the filter cartridge
•
Stop the unit.
•
Close the main intake valve (V1).
•
Open the filter by unscrewing the tightening nut using the filter spanner.
•
Free the used cartridges by setting down the filter bowl.
•
Replace the used cartridges with a genuine new one (see colours).
•
Wipe and lightly oil the seal with a food graded grease.
•
Reset the filter after having checked the cartridge position.
•
Screw the tightening nut by hand.
Do not reverse the 20µ and 5µ cartridges.
(The center of the 20µ cartridge is of red or pink, that of the 5µ is of green).
The filter bowl is designed for a 10" cartridge. There are also 9¾" cartridges (American standard) on the
market, but they do not provide a seal inside the bowl resulting in insufficient filtration to ensure the
protection of the membranes. If this type of cartridge is used, with or without a foam seal to
compensate for the difference in height,
service life of the membranes. If the user wishes to use this standard cartridge, he must replace the 10
"filters with a model compatible with the 9¾" cartridges.
