Empty And Clean Sediment Tank

Back to E-Drill Academy

The E-Drill system comes with a maintenance kit that includes a drain bowl and tank wrenches, which are used for servicing the tank. Follow these steps to clean the sediment tank:

  1. Loosen the knob underneath the tank and slide the tank drawer out. Position the drain bowl under the drain cap at the bottom of the tank. Remove the cap to empty the tank into the drain bowl.
  2. Once the tank is empty, use the provided strap wrench to remove the large cap on the side of the tank. Grip and pull out the pleaded sediment filter.
  3. With the filter removed, keep the drain cap open and rinse the inside of the tank with water to flush out any remaining sediment.
  4. Dispose of the sediment-laden water according to your facility’s guidelines.
  5. After cleaning the sediment, you can proceed to replace the filter if necessary. If the filter doesn’t need replacement, perform a system bleed and refill to restore it to working order.
