6.5 Storing the pump station
During the test run, the internal components of the pump station are wetted with test oil, which has a
preservative effect. The pipe connections are fitted with protective covers. Unless otherwise specified,
the outer parts of the pump station are preserved with a single-coat PU-based two-component paint.
The preservative applied at the factory will protect the pump station for about six weeks, if it is stored in
a dry and clean location.
The manufacturer offers a long-term preservation for storage times of up to 60 months. The pump sta-
tion is additionally packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.
