Prepare a tub with a 1/20 solution of detergent B01212
diluted in water.
Immerge the filter you have just washed in this solution to
eliminate alkaline detergent residue.
Make sure that the solution covers the entire filter
Do not use aluminium or galvanized sheet metal tubs.
10
Within 2-3 minutes you will note a slight chemical reaction
with the formation of foam. This indicates that the alkaline
residues have been eliminated
11
Rinse the filter again with a jet of water or with a pressurized
water cleaner at low pressure

Dry the electrostatic cells in a warm room or in direct
sunlight for a few hours.
Keep the cells up off the ground with two pieces of wood or
metal.
IONIZATION WIRES
Impurities may cause oxidation or encrustation on the
wires. These may be removed using a cloth soaked in
alcohol or with very fine grain steel wool.
Because of the high voltage that powers them, the
ionization wires are subject to wear. Yearly replacement
will prevent unexpected breakage.
If breakage occurs:
1. Remove all pieces of wire in the cell and remove the
spring that holds the wires taut.
2. Hook the spring onto the eyelet of the wire.
3. Grasp the ionization wire with a curved pincer.
4. Hook the end of the spring with the open eyelet to the
wire-tensioning rod of the electro-static cell
5. Holding the ionization wire taut with the other hand,
hook it onto the other wire-tensioning rod, again using
a curved pincer
STRUCTURE
Check the condition of the parts making up the structure.
Paint so as to eliminate or reduce oxidation at the points in the unit where this problem may occur. Check that the panelling is
fastened correctly. Poor fastening may give rise to malfunctions and abnormal noise and vibration.
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
Dust and deposits could cause obstructions.
Clean the tank, pour some water into the tank and check water flows normally.
