How often should I clean my Rain Harvesting RHMLO1 Maelstrom Rainwater Filter?

[McAlexis]

To keep your Rain Harvesting RHMLO1 Maelstrom Rainwater Filter working at its best, regular cleaning and maintenance are key. How often you need to do this depends on where you live and how much debris gets into your rainwater system. Start by checking the primary and secondary filters after the first rainfall. This will give you an idea of how often you'll need to clean it. To clean your Maelstrom Filter, follow these steps:

1. Unlatch and remove the lid of the filter.
2. Grasp the handle at the front of the filter and lift it upward to remove it.
3. Release the four handle clips, slide the handle off the primary filter, and remove the secondary filter.
4. Use a hose to wash out the secondary filter. If there's stubborn debris, use a brush.
5. Lift out the mosquito-proof screen and brush or hose off both sides of it.
6. Put the mosquito-proof screen back in place securely, then replace the secondary filter and re-secure the handle.
7. Put the filter back into its housing and clip it back in place.
8. Put the lid back on and latch it.

Following these steps will help ensure your Maelstrom Filter continues to provide clean rainwater. For more detailed instructions, always refer to the installation and operating guide provided by Rain Harvesting Pty Ltd.
