▪ The mechanical seal is low in maintenance. Replace wear parts as necessary.
▪ Proper operation includes regular checks of the temperature and leakage
(drainage) and of the mechanical seal's quench liquid pressure and fill level.

reworked and all elastomer joint rings and springs should be replaced by new
ones. KSB is available for inspecting the mechanical seal.
