How to Clean Filters – Inline Pumps and Accumulators

You may need to clean the filters on your product when it has been slow to activate for some time, it has stopped coming on as quick as it should do, or when it isn’t coming on at all. In this case you need to check that the inlet filters aren’t blocked.

It’s easy to check the filters on a TapBoost, CombiBoost, or HomeBoost pump. First, turn off the isolating valves on the inlet and outlet, you may need to catch some backflow water in a towel. Then take off the inlet connection with the flat face nut and disconnect the outlet of the pump to remove it. Slide out the pump, and there should be an inlet filter washer inside the pump. Give this filter washer a quick clean under the tap, put it back inside the pump and return the pump to the installation. To recommission the pump, reopen the isolating valves and allow the pump to be filled with water.
