Maintenance; Health & Safety; Guarantee - Delta FOUL V3 Installation Manual

7. Maintenance

7.0 MAINTENANCE
Sump pumps must be maintained. We recommend a qualified engineer examines and services
equipment every year. Pumps running frequently due to higher water table, water drainage,
or weather conditions should be examined more frequently, we recommend every 6 months.
Sump pumps, being mechanical devices, may fail if not maintained which could lead to a flooded
basement and costly repairs.
Regular servicing of sump pumps will increase efficiency and extend the life of the pump. All Delta
Membrane pump systems can be maintained by our recommended pump service providers or
installing contractor.
7.1 HEALTH & SAFETY
In order to minimise the risk of ill health or accidents when installing and/or servicing pump
chambers, workers must be fully trained, competent and follow the health and safety
guidelines below: Do not work without a risk assessment being in place.
• Work in accordance with the control measures identified in the risk assessment.
• All personnel must be vaccinated against diseases to which they may be exposed to, i.e. Tetanus,
Polio, Hepatitis A&B, etc.
• At the time of writing, due to there being no vaccine against leptospirosis/weil's disease,
where rats may be present, ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (skin
protection) is worn and ensure any cuts or abrasions are fully covered.
• There should be no eating or drinking during works and only afterwards following a change of
clothing and washing.
• Ensure electrical power to the pump is turned off/isolated before carrying out installation
or maintenance.
• A suitable first aid kit must be close to hand.
