How to Service

Servicing a Flotender Grey Water System is simple and can
be accomplished within minutes


 

 

Simple Serviceability

The Flotender Grey Water System is both simple and convenient to service. The frequency of service depends on usage, for most people who have a washing machine connected* once a month is common for routine maintenance (see below). The System will tell you when it needs to be cleaned by the position of the system indicators (learn more).

*Washing machines produce lint which when collected, amounts to much higher quantity than the debris that is collected from a shower or bathtub. When only showers and bathtubs are connected to the Flotender, the unit can go much longer between service times.

 

 

Routine Maintenance

The Filter Basket in the Flotender collects all the
debris from the home’s grey water sources.

When the system is not in use, remove the Access Cap and pump the collected debris (using the included hand pump) at the bottom of the Filter Basket into the overflow pipe (typically 4 or 5 pumps) or into a watering pail.

Unscrew the clear filter cover and remove the filter element. Rinse off collected debris from the element and the element mat, then reconnect.

Occasional Thorough Cleaning

The through cleaning does not need to be performed as often as the routine cleaning but should be performed on occasion to rinse off debris missed by the spray jets. Through cleaning is commonly performed every 6 months (depending on usage).

    For a thorough cleaning, lift and remove the filter basket and remove the filter bracket on the bottom of the basket to release the filter screen. Using the spray nozzle on your garden hose, dislodge the remaining debris by spraying from the outside in. Reconnect the filter screen and return the Filter Basket back into the Flotender.
