Cleaning the water inlet filters

The water inlet valves are protected by two filter screens. They need to be checked approx. every 6 months. If there are frequent interruptions to the water network, they may need to be checked more frequently.

Cleaning the filter in union of the inlet hose

Close the tap and unscrew the threaded union that connects the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock.

Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess.

Use flat pliers to grasp the plastic filter piece 2, then remove the filter.

Clean the filter. Reverse the instructions to re-insert the filter and seal.

To clean the filter in the water inlet valve

Use adjustable pliers to carefully loosen the ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve and unscrew.

Use flat pliers to pull the filter out by the fin, and clean it. Reverse the instructions to re-insert and secure the parts.

Both filters MUST be re-inserted after cleaning.
