Servicing / repairs
Safety precautions
Before working on the hydraulics:
• put the plant or section out of operation
• close the stop valves
• release the pressure
Dirt filter
Dirt filters must be cleaned periodically, initially at short intervals.
Maintenance, spare parts
Check connections periodically for tightness and if necessary tighten again. For control and cleaning, the measuring chamber and the ring
piston of the meters DN15 ... 50 can be removed without dismantling the meter from the pipe.
The cleaning and revision cycle depends largely on the conditions of operation. Under favourable conditions 5 ... 10 years suffice. Check
the units for corrosion. When ancillary equipment is used, observe their mounting and operation instructions.
Spare part lists may be requested from Aquametro.

To restart the plant:
• slowly open the stop valves, avoiding pressure surges ('water hammer')
• vent the pipe well
• check tightness
