V. 2.0
6.4. After use
– It is essential, in order to avoid damage to the pump, to wash it after use. This should
be done by running the pump under pressure for a few minutes with clean water. You
should then empty it by reducing the pressure to "0" and leaving it to run dry for a few
minutes.
– Where there is a danger of freezing it is necessary to empty out all residual water. It is
a good precaution to mix an anti-freeze (of a type used with cars) with the cleaning
water. This will protect the pump even in relation to any liquid residues left inside it.
– The pump and system components (hoses, clamps, connections etc.) should be
periodically inspected (at the end of each operational season). Replace any component
that shows signs of wear. If the membranes and all rubber parts are replaced at the end
of each operational season (annually) this serves to preserve the pump and reduces
costs resulting from unexpected breakages during the following season to a minimum,
hence avoiding needless loss of time and money.
