MAINTENANCE General Maintenance must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel. Warning! Isolate power supply and water supply when any maintenance work is carried out on the Digital Mixing Valve (DMV). The DMV may contain hot water, so care must be taken when draining any residual water.
Cleaning External surfaces can be cleaned with products associated with basin cleaning referenced in the NHS cleaning manual. Caution: Plated or plastic fittings should only be cleaned using a mild detergent or soap solution and wiped dry with a soft cloth. It is understood that additional chemical disinfection is widely used to clean water systems.
Pall medical water filters can easily be installed onto the Rada Acu Spout by using a Pall Filter Connector (refer to section: ‘Spare Parts’). Filters and Non Return Valves Hot water entering the cold supply, or vice versa, indicates that immediate maintenance of the non return valve is necessary.
