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.
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
Before initial start up the straps, that prevent the float ball from moving during transport, as well as the protective
bag around this ball, need to be removed.
