of local water conditions may indicate that more frequent maintenance is desirable,

a high proportion of solids, eg, sand. Maintenance must include the following:
1. Check and clean fi lter
2. Manually check the operation of the temperature relief valve.
3. Manually check the operation of the expansion relief valve.
4. Check discharge pipes from temperature and expansion relief valves are free from

areas.
