Start 2025 with a perfectly maintained filtration system from Cintropur

This is a sine qua non for optimum operation of your filtration and water treatment equipment. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of filter screens, activated carbon or UV lamps are essential to guarantee consistent water quality. In this article, we’ll show you how to maintain your Cintropur systems and what maintenance intervals we recommend.

Domestic range: Filter screens and activated carbon

Filter screens
The filter screens in your Cintropur filters are responsible for removing solid particles such as sand, earth and rust particles. They should be replaced depending on the quality of the water and the frequency of use. We recommend that you check the filter screens regularly and replace them at least every 6 months.

Activated carbon
The activated carbon in your Domestic range filter eliminates unwanted tastes and odours as well as chlorine, pesticides and herbicides. The lifespan of the activated carbon depends on the application:

• Drinking water: every 3 months or at the latest after 20,000 times the volume of carbon used in your water filter.
• Other applications: at least every 6 months.

Regular replacement ensures the continued efficiency of your filters.

Semi-Industrial and Industrial ranges: Filter bags and activated carbon
In the Semi-Industrial and Industrial ranges, regular replacement of filter bags and activated carbon is also essential:

• Filter screens: check them regularly depending on use and water quality. At a delta P of 2 bars, we strongly recommend replacing them.
• Activated carbon: follow the same replacement recommendations as for the Domestic range.

UV filters: Replacing the UV lamp
UV sterilisers are a highly effective method of eliminating bacteria and viruses from water. To ensure their long-term effectiveness, it is essential to replace the UV lamps in good time. One important piece of information: the blue light from the UV lamp is not an indicator that it is working properly. After the recommended period of use, the lamp loses its effectiveness, even if it is still switched on.

Replacement intervals according to lamp type :

• Mercury lamp (UV2100 and UV4100 models): 1 x / year (12 months).
• Amalgam lamp (models UV6100 and UV10100) : Every 2 years.
• Lamp protection quartz: Every 5 years.

The indicator on the filter head gives you a clear signal when replacement is required.

Why is regular maintenance important?
The efficiency of a UV steriliser is only as good as its regular maintenance. Regular maintenance not only ensures the continued high performance of your Cintropur systems, but also extends their lifespan. A well-maintained system offers :

• Consistent water quality that meets your expectations: Clean, safe water for your home, business or industry.
• Efficiency: A well-maintained steriliser is an efficient appliance for consistent sterilisation quality.
• Durability: The more regular and timely your maintenance, the longer it will last.

Conclusion
Make the most of the start of the year to ensure effective maintenance of your Cintropur / Cintroclear filters and purifiers. Check and replace filter bags, activated carbon and UV lamps regularly, as recommended. This will ensure that your water filtration system is working reliably in 2025.
