Water treatment should be checked and maintained whenever the boiler is operating. The boiler 
operator should be sure that the boiler is not operating for long periods without proper water 
treatment.  

Water treatment may vary from season to season or over a period of time. Therefore, the water 
treatment procedure should be checked not less than four times a year and possibly more 
frequently as the local water conditions may indicate 

 

3.6 SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

  

3 . 6 . 1   D A I L Y  

  Make visual inspection of gauges, monitors, and indicators and record readings in boiler 

log. 

  Make visual check of instrument and equipment settings against factory recommended 

specifications. 

  Check operation of float type low water cutoffs to ensure control is functioning. The lower 

piping connections of float type level controls should have a suitable blowdown valve 
piped into a proper drain. This valve should be opened periodically to allow any sludge 
accumulated in the control to be flushed out. Consult manufacturer's instructions. 

3 . 6 . 2   W E E K L Y  

  On units equipped with operating control, verify it is functioning correctly by adjusting 

control and observing if input changes accordingly. 

  Make visual inspection of all fuses and electrical components making sure they are in 

good operating condition.. 

  Confirm boiler area is free of combustible materials and that there is nothing hindering 

proper operation of the boiler.. 

  Check all limit controls as specified in Section 2.1 of this manual. 

 

Check float low water cutoff as described above.
