8.2 Preventive maintenance

The preventive maintenance tasks recommended in this section are
common for all systems and for average operating conditions. In
case the operating conditions are unfavourable, the maintenance
tasks must be performed more frequently, and they can vary from
installation to installation, for instance due to unexpected changes
of the raw-water quality.
