Troubleshooting - Atlas Filtri HYDRA Serie Handbuch Für Installation, Gebrauch Und Wartung

- insert the clean cartridge in the bowl;
- screw the bowl onto the head;
- follow the procedure under "FILTER START-UP" to put the filter in service.
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.
