Vortex Dual Operating Manual
English
3.6 Special Operating Notes
During standard operation, the High Pressure switch will reset when the head
pressure drops below approximately 425 PSI (2.9 MPa, 29 bar), and
Vortex Dual will restart automatically.
4.0 Maintenance
With minimal but important maintenance, Vortex Dual can provide many
seasons of reliable service. After each use, clean Vortex Dual with a damp
cloth to remove dirt and oils.
Do not use gasoline or other hazardous solvents to clean Vortex Dual;
this can damage the plastic enclosure. Standard household detergent or
isopropyl alcohol may be used, but do not allow liquid to penetrate the outer
case.
Make sure the inlet and discharge ports are protected during transit and
storage; keep the inner diameter and the outer threads clear and clean.
NOTE: For best results, leave the filter connected to the inlet port,
and change the filter regularly.
