10. Filtrate Tank Level Sensor and Switch Cleaning

FILTRATE TANK LEVEL SWITCH CLEANING

To maintain the proper functioning of the level sensors/switches in the holding tank after the Microscreen, it is necessary to periodically clean them to remove any accumulated solids.

LEVEL SENSOR/SWITCH CLEANING PROCEDURE

Follow the procedure below for cleaning the level sensor/switch:

  1. Ensure that both sections of the tank are empty before starting the cleaning procedure.
  2. Use a hose with a spray nozzle to wash down the level sensor tip and switches. Note: Do NOT use a power washer on the level sensor, as it may cause damage.
  3. Direct the spray nozzle towards the level sensor tip and switches, applying sufficient water pressure to remove any built-up material.
  4. Continue washing until all the solids have been completely removed from all the switches.
  5. Once the cleaning is completed and the switches are free from debris, ensure that the tank is refilled, and the system is ready for operation.

Perform this level sensor/switch cleaning procedure at least once a day to prevent any disruptions in their functionality. By maintaining clean level sensors/switches, you can ensure accurate level measurement and proper operation of the system.
