MISC-1 DWYER FLOW METER SERVICEThe mechanical flow meter (part no. PL-FMT-XX) used on our manual watermakers can beopened for cleaning if it gets hard to read, or if the little ball in the flow meter is stuck at thebottom. If the ball is stuck, first try giving it a tap to break it loose.The flow meter will come completely apart for cleaning. First, remove the meter from the panel.Next, remove the four small screws that hold the stainless steel bracket in place. Carefully pryoff the bracket. On the very top of the meter is a clear plastic slide-off cover that covers a clearplastic allen screw. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to push the cover off. Holding the meterupright, remove the allen screw with a ¼” allen wrench. Invert the flow meter and catch the ballas it falls out. Now you can get inside and clean things up. You can use tooth paste or plasticwindow polish to polish the inside using a small bottle brush. Clean the ball and give it a fewcoats of wax. If the O-rings are damaged or the unit has been leaking, install new O-rings usinga little Vaseline or water maker grease to ease assembly. These are standard O-rings and shouldbe available at most larger auto parts or bearing stores. Reassemble in reverse.5/06/0425
