MAINTENANCE

Thanks to the self-cleaning pre-filter, the HYDRA RAINMASTER can provide long-last improved perfor-
mance if maintenance is correctly and regularly performed following the instructions indicated in ROU-
TINE MAINTENANCE and EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Self-cleaning pre-filter:
clean the filter cartridge in counter-current by opening the drain valve for 15/20 seconds. Washing in
counter-current is performed as indicated in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
If the cartridge is not perfectly clean after washing, repeat the operation with the same procedure one
or more times until the desired cleanliness is reached. If acceptable cleanliness is not achieved for
good filter operations, follow the extraordinary maintenance procedure described below.
Carbon filters:
- replace the CB-EC cartridge at least every 6 months or before the limit if odours, colours or bad
tastes are found in water and/or flow significantly reduces;
- replace the LA cartridge at least every 3 months or before the limit if odours, colours or bad tastes
are found in water and/or flow significantly reduces.
Post-filter (HYDRA RAINMASTER TRIO models only):
- replace the post-filter cartridge FA every 3-6 months when replacing the active carbon cartridge
or before the limit if flow significantly reduces.
NB: Dispose of used cartridges according to current laws.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Self-cleaning pre-filter:
in time, routine cartridge cleaning may become difficult due to build-up on the cartridge net. In this
case, extraordinary cartridge cleaning is required as follows:
- cut off water flow upstream from the filter;
- release filter pressure by opening the water tap downstream from the filter;
- open the filter unscrewing the cup from the head using the spanner (supplied);
- remove the cartridge (wearing protective gloves to prevent scratches due to worn mesh);
- clean the cartridge under a jet of cold water and use a soft brush to remove most impurities;
- insert the clean cartridge in the cup;
- screw the cup onto the head;
- follow the procedure under "FIRST USE" to reuse the filter;
- replace the self-cleaning filter cartridge every 24-36 months or before the limit if the cartridge
net is visibly torn.
Carbon filters and post-filter:
In the event of prolonged filter disuse, disconnect the device from the mains and remove cartridges,
storing them in a cool and dry place until next use.
