2 Transportation and Storage
• Insure system is drained of any water.
• Remove transducers to ensure that they do not freeze.
• System may be top-heavy, brace to keep from tipping.
2.3.1 Long term storage
The following procedure applies to Boosters and HVAC Packages.
1. Customer furnished equipment and accessories that are not offered as standard or
optional by the factory must be handled in accordance with the respective
manufacturer's recommendations.
2. Storage longer than one month Is considered long term storage.
3. Pumps should be prepared for storage using the following procedure.
SAFETY
• Select a storage location that will prevent potential hazards to persons allowed access
to the storage area.
• Appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure safe on-site receipt and transit.
• Potential energy risk should be minimized. Keep product at ground level and prevent
stacking or other unsafe positioning that could result in falling, dropping, and/or
tipping.
LOCATION AND TREATMENT
• Indoor Storage
• Outdoor Storage
• Installed But Not in Service

– Little extra preparation is needed if indoor storage area is dry and clean.
– Care should be taken to prevent extremes In temperature (below 32°F and above
110°F). Also, keep the pump out of direct sunlight and covered to protect it from
dust and dirt.
– Care should be taken to prevent moisture build-up around the pump, either by
allowing proper ventilation or tightly sealing the pump in the cover with a suitable
amount of desiccant to ensure dryness.
– If indoor storage area is humid or dirty, such as an unfinished building, treat the
pump as if it were to be stored outdoors.
– If exposure to condensation is expected, un-painted external steel or cast-iron
surfaces should be coated with rust-inhibiting oil such as Cortec's VCI-329.
– Storage location should also provide minimal exposure to vibration and other
damage potentially transmitted from adjacent operating equipment.
– Product supplied in factory cartons, pallets or similar Xylem packaging should be
kept in 'as-shipped' condition where possible.
– Inspect suction and discharge manifold flange covers.
– Pump should be covered to protect it from weather and direct sunlight.
– All coverings should be property secured to withstand high wind.
– Care must be exercised in covering pumps to prevent moisture build-up under the
cover. This can be done either by allowing proper ventilation or tight sealing cover
with suitable amount of desiccant to ensure dryness.
– Extreme heat and cold are to be avoided, as rubber parts and seals could age
prematurely (below 32°F and above 110°F).
– Storage area should be inspected weekly, and after storms for damage to
protective covers.
– Inspect suction and discharge manifold flange covers.
