How to install a pressure box replacement
Preparation
- Unpack the new pressure box that you have received and note down the MAC address, a hexadecimal code which can be found as a sticker, usually at the bottom face of the pressure box.
- Vent the pressure in Bluelake.
- Close Bluelake.
- Go to the black regulator under the left side of the C-Trap, see Fig1 & 2. Pull the cap on the regulator up and rotate anticlockwise until the pressure gauge shows 0 Bar.
- For older systems, the pressure regulator may be in a different location, follow the airline from the pressure box towards the table to find the regulator.
