Plus
Frequently Asked
Questions – FAQs
Q.
How often do I clean the main unit of the ConDePhase®
Plus?
A.
Summit recommends you back-flush the unit when you change
the filter. A
complete draining and cleaning is recommended every two (2) years.
Q.
How often should I change the filter and where do I buy a
replacement filter?
A.
For most lubricants, the filter needs to be changed every 9
– 12 months. For
polyglycols, the filter needs to be changed every 6 – 9 months.
Replacement filters are available from your Summit
Distributor.
Q.
How do I know when my filter needs changing?
A.
There are three ways to know your filter needs changing:
1.
Water is coming out the “Oil Out” connection
2.
Take a small sample of water from the “Water Out” of
the carbon filter. If
you can see an oil sheen on the top, the filter needs changing.
3.
Send a 6oz. sample from the filter once a quarter to Summit
for a free analysis.
Q.
What is
causing a mist to come out the top of my expansion chamber?
A.
The automatic
drains are probably going off for too long a duration. Drains should be set to go off for no longer than five (5)
seconds with no greater than 125 psi.
Q.
I’ve just changed my filter and still getting oily water
from the filter. What
is going on?
A.
New filters must be pre-flooded with clean water before
attaching to the ConDePhase® Plus.
Without pre-flooding with clean water, the charcoal will
tend to channel the condensate thru the filter without sufficient
absorption time.
Q.
How do I dispose of the carbon filter?
A. ConDePhase®
filters are disposed of in the same manner as the air compressor
separators and filters. These
are usually licensed companies approved for handling oily waste.
