FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

The filter should be checked and cleaned every 6-12 months, or more frequently if there are signs of debris buildup.

Can I install the filter myself?

While the installation is straightforward, it is recommended that you have some plumbing experience. If you are unsure, consider hiring a qualified professional.

What kind of debris does the filter remove?

The Sentinel Eliminator removes both magnetic and non-magnetic debris, including rust, sludge, and other particles.

Does the filter require any special chemicals?

No special chemicals are required for the filter itself, but it's recommended to use a suitable inhibitor in the central heating system to prevent future corrosion.

What is the lifespan of the filter?

With proper maintenance, the Sentinel Eliminator should last for many years. Regular cleaning and system maintenance will extend its lifespan.

What should I do if the filter becomes blocked?

If the filter becomes blocked, isolate it, clean the collection chamber, and inspect the magnets. Ensure the system is properly flushed to remove any remaining debris.

Troubleshooting
