Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection:

• Ensure the air vent is unobstructed and functioning properly to eliminate air from the system.

• Check the bottom drain valve for leaks and ensure it's operational for sediment removal.

• System Monitoring:

• Monitor system pressure and temperature to ensure they remain within the recommended ranges.

• Verify that flow rates align with system requirements for optimal efficiency.

• Cleaning and Maintenance:

• Periodically use the bottom drain valve to expel accumulated sediment, preventing blockages.

• Clean the air vent regularly to ensure proper air removal.

• Installation Considerations:

• Install the separator near the exit of the boiler and upstream of the circulator for optimal performance.

• Use isolation valves on both sides of the separator to facilitate maintenance without draining the entire system.
