Machine Support
Please refer to your user manual to help diagnose what the different flashing codes mean.
- Disconnect the pipe system from the inlet spigot and run the machine to eliminate blockage in the pipework/system, if the alarm continues, move onto the next step, if the alarm does not occur, check the pipework and system for blockages.
- If the blockage is in the pipe system remove the blockage and retest.
- If you have new filters, replace the old filters with the new filters individually starting with the pleated bag filter, shutting the door, and starting the machine on every change to determine which filter is blocked, start with the pleated bag filter then work your way up to the main filter. If you have no new filters, take your filters out individually and start the machine to determine which filter is blocked.
- Whichever filter the alarm does not occur on is the filter that is blocked/exhausted.
- If the problem continues, contact the Purex technical support team here.
- Check if the filters are in good condition, change them individually and run the machine after every change to determine if a filter has been contaminated.
- If the issue continues disconnect the pipe system from the inlet of the Purex machine and start the machine without anything attached to the inlet, the reason for this is the gas sensor in the machine may have detected the gas but the gas will need flushing out of the sensor, do this for around 30 minutes to 1 hour, if this resolves the issue reattach the system with filters in and start the machine.
- If the problem continues, contact the Purex technical support team here.
