BOILER INTERNAL INSPECTION
The boiler elements should be removed (see
Section 4.4.1 Element Removal
) after one month
of operation and the interior of the boiler thoroughly examined. If scale or sludge build-up is
observed, it should be removed and the water treatment supplier advised.
New gaskets must be fitted every time an element is removed. Subsequent interior examinations
should be carried out on a regular basis until satisfactory conditions are observed. Thereafter,
inspections should be carried out at three monthly intervals.
