Resetting the TeFlow Water Re Circulator Air Filter Alarm

The VWR water re-circulator may display maintenance-related messages to indicate when routine servicing is required. Common messages include:

Service Air Filter and Reset

This notification indicates that the air filter requires inspection, cleaning, or replacement. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate within the filter, restricting airflow into the system. Reduced airflow can impair heat exchange efficiency, causing the unit to work harder to maintain the desired temperature.

The Fluid Should Be Replaced

This message indicates that the circulating fluid (typically water or a water-based coolant) has reached the end of its recommended service interval and should be replaced. Over time, the fluid can become contaminated with particulates, microorganisms, or chemical degradation products, which may compromise system performance.

To reset the alarm, follow the steps below:

  1. Make sure the water re-circulator is switched off or set to standby mode.

  1. Open the Front Panel by pulling forward. The air filter will then be accessible.

  2. Remove the filter and clean by brushing away excess dust. Once cleaned, reinsert the filter and securely close the front panel.
