Changing Filters - Omegasonics Viking PDX3 Operation & Instruction Manual

Changing Filters

Disposable
 Prior to changing the filters, the water level in the tank must be no higher than the
level of the spray bar.
 Filters should be changed periodically depending on the usage of the equipment and
the contaminants being removed. If water is not flowing more than a trickle from the
spray bar holes, it is time to replace your filters.
 Individually unscrew counterclockwise the two (2) large blue filter cartridge holders.
The cartridges will be full of water.
 Pour the water out of the cartridges and remove the filters. Be careful not to lose the
rubber O-ring gasket located on the inside of the filter cartridge. Absence of this
gasket will cause the filter(s) to leak.
 Replace with new filter(s) and re-install the cartridges.
 The 50 Micron Polycarbonate Filter is the primary filter for Tanks 1 and 2 and is
located on the right side of each filtration system.
 The Carbon Filter is the secondary oil filter for Tanks 1 and 2. Their canisters are
located to the left of each primary filter. The Carbon Filter removes oil and grease
and will require changing more often than the 50 Micron Polycarbonate Filter.
Reusable Stainless Steel
 Clean the outside of the filters in a sink.
