  2. Maintenance Why Carry out Maintenance on your equipment?

  3. Maintenance • Keep equipment in good working condition. • Equipment ready to be deployed at any time. (Do you have time to carry out maintenance before emergency deployment?). • Ensures water you treat is Safe to Drink?

  4. Maintenance What part of the water treatment process is the most important to maintain?

  5. Maintenance PUMPS? WATER TREATMENT UNIT? DISTRIBUTION? STORAGE?

  6. Maintenance • If the pumps are broken, can you deliver safe, clean water? • If the water treatment unit is broken or dirty, can you deliver safe, clean water? • If the water storage is broken or dirty, can you deliver safe, clean water? • If the tap stands are broken, can you deliver safe, clean water?

  7. Pumps What Common problems have you experience with your pumps?

  8. Pumps Some Common Problems • Pump rusts in storage and stops working. • Water pump rusts solid and stops rotating. • Fuel tank – Old fuel blocks fuel filters • Any others?

  9. Pumps Rust • Keep pump out of rain. Store is clean dry place. • Spray oil / lubricant on outside of pump. • Flush pump with clean water after use. • Drain pump of water after use (bottom of pump chamber). Fuel System • Keep water out of fuel tanks • Drain fuel tanks before each use. (cost of fuel cheap, cost of fixing blocked pump – expensive)

  10. Filters • Algae can grow inside filters when in storage

  11. Filters • Backwash filters before each use use with clean water for minimum of 10 minutes to remove Algae from filter • Backwash filters after use with clean water for minimum of 10 minutes. • When place filters in storage, backwash filters with Chlorinated water (from water you have produced).

  12. Storage • Algae can grow in water bladders when in storage. • Any other problems?

  13. Storage • Flush water bladders with “shock dose” of Chlorine before use. Walk up and down on the bladder (without shoes), trying to clean the inside of the bladder • Flush water bladders with “shock dose” of Chlorine before you place bladders in Storage. • Make sure the bladders are dry before placed into storage Once Water Bladders have Algae growing inside them. Very difficult to clean.

  14. Distribution What Common problems have you experience when setting up tap stands?

  15. Distribution • Rusting and missing parts? • Missing tools? • Hoses leaking? • Any others?

  16. Distribution • Clean equipment once finished and store in clean dry place. • Check that all tools are stored with tap stands. • Check hoses for leaks.
