vermin and unauthorised access ! All openings of
the assembled unit components are closed and must only be
opened when required during installation.

unauthorised access.
It is imperative to remove the preservative prior to normal
commissioning by flushing through the system.

New pump / unit
New pumps / units are specially preserved in the manufacturer’s
factory. The preservative must be removed before normal
commissioning of the pump/unit, by flushing the system
