MAINTENANCE
Planned Maintenance
Malfunction of Thermostatic Mixing Valves is almost always progressive in nature
and will be detected by the use of proper temperature checking and maintenance
routines.
Certain types of system can result in the valve having excessive ‘dead-legs’ of
pipework, or auxiliary cold water supply added to the mixed water from the valve.
Such systems can disguise the onset of thermostatic mixing valve malfunction and
should not be used.
We recommend a preventative maintenance procedure based on site conditions
and the risk to the user. All results must be recorded in a log book.
Healthcare
Healthcare applications are hospitals, aged person facilities, residential care homes,
etc. and any other applications where the user is similarly at risk.
Ultimately, the user or attendant must exercise diligence to make sure that the delivery
of warm water is at a stable, safe temperature. This is particularly important in such
procedures as supervised bathing where patients are unable to respond immediately
to unsafe temperatures.
Commercial
Check for correct blend setting every 6 months.
Follow the In-Service Test Procedure every 12 months.
Critical Components
Irrespective of supply and usage conditions or the evidence of in-service tests, critical
components should be replaced at intervals of no more than 5 years.
Note! During the replacement of critical components, it may be necessary to replace
other non-critical components.
Cleaning
External surfaces can be cleaned with products associated with basin cleaning
referenced in the NHS cleaning manual.
Caution: Plated or plastic fittings should only be cleaned using a mild detergent or
soap solution and wiped dry with a soft cloth.
