Hero of the day:
It does not need to be washed enough to change. The pre-filter mesh cleans the water from large mechanical impurities, but at the same time it gradually clogs, as a result, the pressure in the water supply drops and the water pressure becomes noticeably weaker. So it's time to carry out maintenance of the water filter, that is, it needs to be cleaned. From the tools you only need an adjustable wrench and a small brush. How to clean the coarse filter: Turn off the tap on the water supply in front of the filter. Unscrew the cover on the coarse filter. rinse it. If the mesh is very dirty, you will have to go through the mesh with a brush, for example, an old toothbrush. Rinse the filter housing and cover. Check the condition of the gasket between the cover and housing and, if necessary, replace it. what needs to be done in order to clean the coarse filter with an oblique or straight line. How often you need to clean the filter depends on the quality of the water. In some cases, the sump can work without maintenance for more than one year, while the sump will remain almost empty, in others, it will need to be cleaned regularly.

The revision plug should not have a seal, and the filter mesh is freely available, although I saw some idiots put a seal there, why the hell is it asked?
Vladimir:
take it off and clean it. there shouldn't be a seal

They do not need to be changed - unscrewed, washed the mesh, shook out the dirt from the cover, twisted it back; it is only important to install them correctly, so, for example, for installation on vertical sections, with the direction of water movement from the bottom up, there is only one filter model with a negative angle - Valtec VT.386:
svan:
It has been standing for 6 years and has never been cleaned, in the summer I will change the meter itself there and see, although I know that there is a nefik to clean
Neighbor Cat:
Usually these filters are enough for the operation of water meters - at least 3-5 years. So when you check or replace water meters, it is advisable to change filters with check valves.
Alexander Pak, healer:
1. the filter must be under a seal, i.e. you cannot clean it without legal procedures 2. there is one metal plate with fine perforation in the filter under the nut, the blockage is removed and cleaned on the spot with improvised means, .
Grandfather Au:
if it is not sealed, unscrew the plug-nut, clean the mesh and put it in place. under the nut it is better to buy a new paronite gasket
Przhevalsk:
nonsense all why change them, the pressure is normal at home? If the pressure drops, then it is necessary to clean - prevention can be done once a year
Denis:
No dismantling required. I have a water filter installed with a permanent Fibos cartridge with a water filtration fineness of one micron. The filter is anti-infectious and anti-bactericidal, with an automated system. The system does not clog, but discharges precipitation into a special flask, which can be easily cleaned of impurities by unscrewing the valve. Filter replacement is not required, and the cartridge is recommended to be changed only once every 10 years.

To prevent this from happening, a coarse mesh (oblique) filter is placed in front of the counter and then all the garbage accumulates in it, and it is not difficult to clean it because it is not sealed ... And now, if the seal binds both nuts, then you need to call the sealing organization anyway ... Well, of course, at your expense.. All that after the water valve in the apartment is the property and responsibility of the owner of the apartment ...

And how much time does it cost? The counters have a warranty period, for cold 6 years, for hot 4 years.
Mikhail Godunov:
you can clean it yourself by unscrewing the “plug”. solve your problem 3 min.
White Oleg:
Did the installer put a filter in front of the counter? Do you have water at all? Or is the counter itself not spinning - the impeller is clogged? If so - 100% fault of the mantazhnik ...
Pavel Kharlamov:
Installation and maintenance of intra-apartment metering devices is carried out exclusively at the expense of the homeowner. If there is a fault of the installer, then he must eliminate it, but this must be agreed with the water utility. They must come, remove the filling, then come again and put it in. If no one is to blame that you have problems with the device, then a plumber for a fee can fix the problem.
Olga:
The plumber has no right to touch the counter. You yourself say that it is sealed.
Andrey Zlakov:
Grind the sealing eyelet on the filter with a file, then it will not be sealed together with the water meter samastroyka /pochistit-filtr-schetchika-vodu But this can only be done before installing the meter
Filter types
All devices exclude the ingress of contaminants into the consumer watercourse. Differences in types provide choice to the buyer and greater compliance with volumes.
Reticulate
The most common and compact type of coarse cleaner, often referred to as a sump cleaner.
It consists of two nozzles - inlet and outlet - and a grid, in front of which there is a reservoir for collecting contaminants.
- In most cases, the tank is equipped with a removable lid to enable the elimination of deposits. Before cleaning it, turn off the water supply, drain the dirt from the storage tank, and, if possible, remove and clean or replace the grid. A sump with a flushing system is the same strainer with a reservoir, during installation of which a bypass system for supplying water in the opposite direction is provided. Then you do not need to remove the grid - just direct the flow in the other direction. It is very convenient if a drainage drain is created into the sewer system.
- According to the configuration, the mesh apparatus can be straight and oblique - the name indicates the location of the sump. Installation of a direct filter is only possible on a horizontal pipe section and requires a little more space below. An oblique cleaner can also be installed vertically if the water is supplied from above.
- According to the method of attachment to the water supply system, the devices are flanged and coupling. The flange connection is used on large diameter pipes, for example when installing a pre-filter before entering the system of an apartment building. Coupling fasteners are used on pipes of smaller diameter, in particular for devices for individual use. Their installation is not difficult, it is carried out using a wrench and union couplings, usually included with the filter.
Cartridge or cartridge
Stationary filter type for indoor use. It is a volumetric flask, with a replaceable cartridge through which water passes. Eliminates both large and small impurities.
It is often used as an individual device for water that has undergone general house cleaning. The replacement element is made of plastic (disposable) or corrosion-resistant metal (reusable).
The design is attached to the wall, access to the cartridge is carried out using the key included in the kit.
pressure system
High-speed pressure coarse cleaning system: it is an impressive flask filled with a cleaning compound, inside which water is filtered.Pollution from 30 microns is retained.
The system is equipped with a device that regulates the composition of water. This type of filter must be connected to the sewer - pollution is removed through the drainage drain. Thus, the whole structure is a self-cleaning device.
The kit includes pressure gauges at the inlet and outlet, it is possible to regulate the pressure inside the system. Operation is possible only in a room with a positive temperature. Due to the size and cost, it is advisable to use at the entrance to the house.

Installation and maintenance of the coarse filter
You can install and clean the filtration devices yourself, since there are no instructions and regulations on their mandatory sealing.
It should not be forgotten that there is free access and sufficient space required to install and maintain filtration systems and meters.
The installation process of the filter device is divided into several stages:
First you need to assemble a structure consisting of a shut-off valve for supplying water to the apartment, the filter itself, a meter and a check valve
At the same time, it is important to monitor the tightness of the connection of all elements.
- Then a section is cut out in the pipes, equal in length to the above-mentioned composite element, and a thread is cut for its connection.
- Next, the filter / meter system is screwed into the pipe using an adjustable wrench and must be checked for correct assembly and tightness by supplying water to the resulting system.
Important! When installing the filter, you must make sure that the direction of the water coincides with the indicators of its movement on the device body and the sump is directed downwards. If the installation of a filtration system is a process that requires special knowledge and skills, then even an inexperienced owner will be able to figure out how to clean the filter on their own, and the water pressure from the taps will serve as an indicator of the need to clean the device.
