14.0 Pump Maintenance
Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on
or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on
solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.
14.1
Routine Inspection and Maintenance
The pump requires very little maintenance. However, the pump and all accessories should be
checked weekly. This is especially important when pumping aggressive chemicals. Inspect all
components for signs of leaking, swelling, cracking, discoloration or corrosion. Replace worn
or damaged components immediately.
Cracking, crazing, discoloration and the like during first week of operation are signs of severe
chemical attack. If this occurs, immediately remove chemical from pump. Determine which
parts are being attacked and replace them with parts that have been manufactured using more
suitable materials.
14.2
How to Clean and Lubricate the Pump
When changing the pump tube assembly, the pump head chamber, roller assembly and pump
head cover should be wiped free of any dirt and debris.
100% silicon lubrication may be used on the roller assembly. Refer to
www.blue-
white.com/resources/videos
for roller assembly maintenance video instructions.
Periodically clean the back flow prevention check valve assembly, especially when injecting
fluids that calcify such as sodium hypochlorite. These lime deposits and other build ups can
clog the fitting, increasing the back pressure at the pump (reducing tube life) and interfering
with check valve operation.
The motor does not require maintenance or lubrication.
