Application Notes: As the filter is used, foreign particulates and vapor can cause a build-up to occur in the polyester filter. It is essential to monitor pump performance and to regularly check on the status of the polyester filter to ensure excessive build-up does not occur. Welch reccomends changing the filter every 6 months on pumps which are regularly used, and every 12 months on pumps with sporadic or occasional use.
