Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect the air vent regularly to ensure proper air release and prevent air-lock in the system.
-
Check flange connections periodically for leaks and tighten bolts as needed to maintain system integrity.
-
Monitor system pressure and flow to detect early signs of trapped air affecting efficiency.
-
Flush and clean the separator during routine system maintenance to remove any sediment buildup.
-
Schedule professional servicing if performance drops or excessive air remains in the system.
