Suction Strainer in Cold Water Basin

The pan strainer as shown in Figures 8, 9, 10 and 11 should be removed and cleaned monthly or as often as necessary . The
suction strainer is the first line of defense in keeping debris out of the system . Make certain that the strainer is properly located
over the pump suction, alongside the anti-vortexing hood .

Cold Water Basin

The cold water basin should be flushed out quarterly, and checked monthly or more often if necessary, to remove any
accumulation of dirt or sediment which normally collects in the basin . Sediment can become corrosive and cause deterioration
of basin materials . When flushing the basin, it is important to keep the suction strainers in place to prevent any sediment from
entering the system . After the basin has been cleaned, the strainers should be removed and cleaned before refilling the basin with
fresh water .
