Maintenance
ATTENTION!
Before carrying out any work, disconnect the pump from the electrical system and secure it from being
accidentally switched on again. Check the discharge pipe line for damage.
To avoid danger if the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person.
If there are problems, please contact your GC and G.U.T. partner.
We recommend regular maintenance in accordance with DIN EN 12056-4, DIN EN 12050-3, and
DIN 1986/100 (by a qualified specialist) to ensure the long-term operational safety of your system.
Purpose
Maintenance serves to care for a system and to extend it's service life. The aim of maintenance is to
prevent malfunctions, minimise wear and tear, and detect as far as possible, wear at an early stage,
in order to avoid unplanned downtimes, an operational standstill, or cost-intensive consequential
damage to a system.
Safety
Check especially the prescribed electronic test according to VDE function test to minimize unplanned
malfunctions and major consequential damage.
Effort
The maintenance costs of a system depend on, among other things, it's age, running time, load, and
installation type of the system. Because the time required can also vary from one maintenance interval
to the next, maintenance is usually calculated on a flat-rate basis. Replacement of necessary compon-
ents or wear parts are charged according to time and effort.
Intervals:
The intervals must not be greater than:
-
1/4 year for systems in commercial establishments
-
1/2 year for systems in apartment buildings
-
1 year for systems in single-family houses.
Warranty
In order for the operator to be able to make use of any warranty claims in accordance with VOB or
DIN a maintenance contract must be concluded after acceptance of the new system. Please note that
for a warranty claim, corresponding evidence of the maintenance work carried out must be submitted.
