ScubaTANK WX Recommended user 6 monthly checks • The pressure vessel should be drained and the pre-charge pressure checked with a gauge and if necessary corrected (refer to the Pressure Vessel Servicing section of this manual). • Undo the tank lid, and check the cleanliness of the pump inlet grating. Replace the lid. Essential 12 monthly (maximum interval) service ...
ScubaTANK WX Pressure Vessel Servicing Service information below is taken from the manufacturer's installation manual. Periodic maintenance Periodic maintenance is recommended at least twice a year and should be carried out by authorised specialised personnel only. 1. First check that the expansion or pressure tank is totally drained of water, and that the system is switched off and no electrical parts are live.
Page 46
ScubaTANK WX Verify the precharge pressure 1. First check that the expansion vessel is totally drained of water, and that the system is switched off and no electrical parts are live. Use the drain valve to drain the vessel. 2. Locate the vessel charging valve (either underneath or adjacent to the plastic cap on top of the vessel, and connect a portable pressure gauge which has a flexible hose and Sch ader-type connector to the valve.

ScubaTANK WX ELECTRIC SHOCK DANGER Before beginning to work on the vessel you MUST isolate the Electrical Supply and make sure that it cannot be accidentally reconnected. It is the installer’s responsibility to perform the connection in compliance with local regulations and all electrical guidelines.
ScubaTANK WX Pump Servicing The following information is extracted from the manufacturer's documentation. Routine maintenance The pump requires no detailed maintenance except to: • Periodically verify that the suction grate is clear • Periodically with the supply power turned off, check the condition of the cables and electrical power and earth connections.
