Keeping your water filtration system in top shape doesn’t have to be complicated. But let’s face it—sometimes the simplest maintenance tasks slip through the cracks, turning into costly headaches down the road. At Everfilt®, we’ve pinpointed some common oversights that are easy to fix if caught early. Here’s the scoop:
1. Y-Strainer Screen TLC
Think of the Y-strainer screen as your system’s unsung hero. It’s small, but it’s a big deal because it keeps clean water flowing to the backwash valve, allowing it to function smoothly. A dirty or clogged screen can mess up the entire process, causing inefficiency or even breakdowns. Make it a habit to check and clean this screen regularly—your system will thank you!
2. Nailing the Right Filtration Media
Choosing the right filtration media—and using the right amount—is like finding the perfect ingredients for a recipe. Get it wrong, and your system won’t perform at its best. Worse, you might end up causing unnecessary strain on your equipment. Double-check that your filtration media matches your system’s needs and swap it out as required to keep things running smoothly.
3. Dialing In Your PD Switch
The pressure differential (PD) switch is your system’s backup plan—it’s there to prevent over-pressurizing and safeguard your filter station. But here’s the kicker: it only works if it’s properly set up. Regularly test and adjust your PD switch to make sure it’s doing its job and keeping your system safe.
The Bottom Line: A Little Effort Goes a Long Way
Skipping these easy maintenance tasks might not seem like a big deal initially, but the long-term consequences can hit your wallet hard. By staying on top of routine care, you’ll save money, boost your system’s efficiency, and dodge major downtime.
If you’re unsure where to start or need a little help, Everfilt’s team has your back.
