2. Maintenance

The Combifoamer is maintenance-

cleaned at regular intervals (approx.
1-3 months) depending on the cal-
careous content of the water.

a scale loosening solvent until
the calcerous substance has
been dissolved.
5. Rinse the clean fi lter thoroughly
and remount.

2.2 Long stops

If long production stops are
plan ned (more than 6 months) and
the pump is emptied of water, it
is recommended that the pump is
protected as follows:
1. Remove the coupling guard.
2. Spray a couple of drops of
silicone oil on the shaft between
the pump head and the coupling.
Carefully follow the instructions
given in the manual provided by
the pump supplier.

3. Start

N.B. Do not start the pump until
it has been vented and fi lled with
water.
N.B. Check that the fl ow switch is
correctly fi tted, see Fig. 9. The fl ow
switch should be placed parallel to
the pipe so that the cable emerges
in the direction of fl ow.
