Ensuring that the AQUAvalve floods
and drains correctly
Care and maintenance
Making sure your AQUAvalve floods and
drains correctly is simply achieved and
only takes a few seconds.
Hold the AQUAvalve at eye level so that
you can see the yellow silicon fitted to the
top float resting on the hole below it.
The yellow silicon must create a tight seal
when touching the hole.
If it looks like it is not sitting parallel on
the hole below, simply lift the top float and
apply pressure to one side of the yellow
silicon, drop the float and hold at eye level
again. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
At the end of your growing season, clean
the AQUAvalve using warm soapy water.
Using an old tooth brush will help.
The AQUAvalve is easily disassembled.
The top float will slide all the way across
and the bottom float is unclipped from its
pivoting position. The circular discs fitted to
the top float can also be removed by using
pliers to grip the raised point.
At this point is it advisable to remove the
yellow silicones to avoid them being lost.
It is also handy to have a paper clip or
pipe cleaner to hand so that you can push
it through the AQUAvalve nozzle, this will
remove any lime scale build up that may
have occurred during the growing season.
Blowing through the AQUAvalve nozzle will
also help to remove any build up. Do not
under any circumstances use a drill & drill
bit to clear the AQUAvalve nozzle.
This will potentially damage the
AQUAvalve beyond repair.
