MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

Checks and Adjustments

COLD WATER BASIN AND BASIN STRAINERS
The cold water basin should be inspected regularly. Any debris which may have accumulated in the basin or on the
strainers should be removed.
Quarterly, or more often if necessary, the entire cold water basin should be drained, cleaned and flushed with fresh
water to remove the silt and sediment which normally collects in the basin during operation.
If not removed periodically, this sediment can become corrosive and cause deterioration of the metallic basin
fittings.
When flushing the basin, the strainers should be left in place to prevent the sediment from re-entering the unit
system. After the basin has been flushed, the strainers should be removed, cleaned, and replaced before refilling
the basin with fresh water.
Remote Basin
The water level in the basin of equipment designed for remote basin operation is a function of the circulating water
flow rate, water outlet connection size, quantity and location, and outlet piping size and configuration. The remote
basin unit is supplied without a water make-up assembly and the basin operating level during remote basin
operation is not adjustable.
OPERATING LEVEL AND MAKE-UP
Operating height is the water level above sump bottom during operation.
