Pressure Filter Removal & Cleaning
It is recommended to remove & clean the Pressure Filter
regularly - before each tank fill. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on the quality of water and chemicals used.
The Pressure Filter receives liquid from either the Product Tank
or the Rinse Tank via the spray pump.
The G-Hub Controller provides a Self Cleaning function
controlled by via an electronic valve.
This Self Cleaning function of the controller will only purge
some material from the screen. It is NOT a full reverse flush.
It is recommended to remove & clean the Pressure Filter after Quick Rinse, Basic
Rinse and Total Rinse & Decontamination procedures are completed in which
case self cleaning the pressure filter is already done.
Self cleaning the pressure filter at other times requires at least 200 litres of clean
water in the Product Tank.
