Vent line
• Always install a vent line sloping down from
the filter to the tank.
• Fit the flexible vent line (hose) using suffi-
cient brackets to prevent sagging or the crea-
tion of a siphon - see drawing 3.
• If necessary, use rigid metal or plastic pipes
to cover large distances, always connect the
rigid pipe to the tank and No-Smell Filter
with short lengths of flexible hose.

3 Maintenance

Replace the filter element at least once a year at
the start of the sailing season or when the silica
gel is saturated with moisture.
• Check regularly if the silical gel is saturated
with moisture.
See drawing 4, 5 and 6 for checking the
filter elelement.
Silica gel granules when dry are amber and
when saturated with moisture are clear.
The top of the filter element is semi-transpar-
ent for visual inspection.
• Always replace the filter if liquid or foam has
entered it.
See drawing 7 to 11 for replacement of
the filterelement.
No-Smell Filter model NSF
• Clean the filter housing if dirt or algae growth
is present.
• Lubricate the O-ring and screw thread with
silicon oil or Teflon spray.
• Every year, check to see that the vent line has
not been blocked or damaged. Also check
the vent line fittings, see 'Installation, Air Vent
line' .
