How often does cyclonic cone require cleaning?
Encyclon cones never require cleaning unless the strainer that stops large debris from reaching the cyclone pump is missing from your installation. Since all debris removed must pass through nozzle at the end of the ceramic cone, any particle larger than the 0.25 inch diameter hole in the ceramic cone can block the discharge. To prevent clogging the larger particles must not reach the hydro-cyclone. We specify a grate or strainer basket with a maximum of 1/8-inch diameter perforations to catch the larger debris ahead of the sump. In the unlikely event that the cone becomes clogged, simply use a wire clear the obstruction inside the tip or unscrew the lower ceramic for access.
