Finally, keeping your components accessible is the best way to keep them in
view, and therefore remember where they are. They are also especially helpful in
aiding a new owner, pumper or maintenance person in figuring out where
components are located.
WHAT DO YOU
MEAN YOU CAN'T
CHANGE THE OIL?
These are the problems with non-accessible systems:
• Since no one can easily look at them, no one does. This means that if they
have problems no one knows until they are bigger and harder to fix.
• If and when someone does decide to look in on the system, they will have to
dig up the yard. This can cost a lot of money and really wreaks havoc on
those new flower beds you spent all weekend on.
If you have a system that does not have accessible components, you must
seriously consider making them accessible for monitoring and maintenance.
Having your system inspected by a knowledgeable operation and maintenance
(O&M) provider can help you identify access problems and how to fix them. It
may cost a little money to upgrade your system, but you could be saving the cost
of a full replacement if it's not maintained properly.
MA'AM, THE HOOD
IS WELDED SHUT.
I CAN'T EVEN
CHECK IT.
