Once installed, it operates continuously as part of your irrigation system, requiring no direct user interaction for its primary function.

6. Maintenance

The integrated filter within the ring-socket is washable and designed for easy maintenance. Regular cleaning of the filter is recommended to ensure optimal water flow and prevent blockages in your irrigation system. To clean:

1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Unscrew the ring-socket from the tap or programmer.
3. Remove the mesh filter.
4. Rinse the filter under running water to remove any accumulated debris.
5. Reinsert the clean filter and reattach the ring-socket, following the installation instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your irrigation programmer, consider the following in relation to the ring-socket:

• Leaks at Connection: Ensure the ring-socket is properly tightened and that the rubber washer (if applicable) is correctly seated and not damaged. Overtightening can also cause damage.
• Reduced Water Flow: A clogged filter is a common cause of reduced water flow. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
• Cracked or Damaged Housing: If the old ring-socket was cracked due to frost or impact, replacing it with the CLABER 91006 will resolve leaks and restore system integrity.
