Maintenance Parts Set

The parts required for performing maintenance are included in the maintenance parts sets. A distinction is made between the maintenance parts sets for wear parts for use after 1 year and after 5 years.

See chapter 7.2 Maintenance parts sets for details and chapter 7.2.5 Using the maintenance parts sets.

The following additional tools are required for maintenance:

  • Water hardness test kit (provided with the system)
  • Multimeter
  • Clamp-on ammeter
  • Flow rate meter, e.g. Kestrel 1000
  • Thermometer
  • Salinometer, density range 1.180 – 1.240 g/cm³
  • Titration kit for chlorine
  • Stop watch

Maintenance Check List

The process and scope of the maintenance work is in accordance with the maintenance checklist, VD314-4. The specified sequence of operations must be adhered to. Details on performing the various steps of the maintenance procedure are given in chapter 7.4 Detailed maintenance work.

The maintenance checklist must be properly completed and signed and then returned to Evoqua Water Technologies (required for any defect liability claims).
