Cold Water Systems Maintenance Phase 3

Why should we maintain cold water systems and components?

• To ensure system efficiency

• To identify any potential problems

• To prevent corrosion

• All of the above

What should be maintained within a cold water system?

• Flow rates

• Pumps and boosters

• Pressure switches

• All of the above

How often should cold water storage cisterns be checked and cleaned?

• Every month

• Every six months

• Every year

• Every two years

How should water treatment equipment be maintained?

• Cleaned and cleared of scale and sediment build-up

• Checked in accordance with the manufacturers' literature

• Both A and B

• None of the above

What should be checked when commissioning a pump?

• Pump inlet filter

• Valves

• Pipework for leaks

• All of the above

How can pressure switches/transducers be checked?

• By hand

• By using a pH indicator

• By comparing with calibrated gauges

• By checking for leaks around glands

How should accumulators be checked?

• By checking the vessel's pressure with a gauge

• By inspecting for leaks

• By checking for water damage

• By checking the flow rates

What should be checked during a visual inspection of pipework?

• Sagging

• Corrosion

• Water hammer

• All of the above

How often should TMVs be checked and cleaned?

• Every month

• Every six months

• Every year

• Every two years

What is the purpose of a planned preventative maintenance plan?

• To ensure system efficiency

• To identify any potential problems

• To keep components operating at design specifications

• All of the above
