Maintenance Tip: When the system pressure gauge rises about 8‑10 psi above the clean start‑up level, it’s time to rinse the cartridge. Shut off the pump, relieve system pressure, then remove the lock ring, pull out the cartridge and hose it off thoroughly. Inspect the O‑ring and lock ring for wear, replace if needed, reassemble the tank, prime the pump and check for proper operation and absence of leaks.
