Check the water pressure. If it's between 4 and 5 bars, clean the filter.

Filter cleaning
WaterFilter

  1. Shutdown the X-ray gun, wait for 10 minutes, then close the water source and drain valves.
  2. Locate the filter, note its up-down orientation and the positions of the Swagelok nuts (to avoid overtightening).
  3. Dismount the filter and clean it in an ultrosonic bath (using distilled or isopropanol) for 20 minutes.
  4. Flush the filter: first in the reversed water flow direction, then in the correct water direction.
  5. Reinstall the filter in the correct orientation, ensuring not to overtighten the Swagelok nuts.
  6. Open water circuit.
  7. Check for water leaks.
  8. Monitor the water flow for about 30 minutes. If the water flow decreases notably, repeat the cleaning procedure.
