Water from rivers, lakes, reservoirs and from the tap has the same physical structure of atoms and molecules, but the chemical composition is different. The results of numerous studies show that often without pre-treatment, water is not suitable for industrial, domestic and, especially, food purposes. Carrying out modern water treatment systems helps to solve the problem. They are divided into industrial and domestic, simple and complex, budgetary and expensive.
The importance of maintenance of water treatment systems
The task of mechanical cleaning is to remove large and harmful particles from the surface of industrial reservoirs. Due to heavy loads, the treatment plant must undergo regular quality service, as harmful impurities settle on the parts.
In enterprises, as a rule, they install a complex liquid purification system. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the amount of spent fuel and electricity, to increase the volume of water reuse.
In everyday life, special nozzles for the crane, as well as pitcher filters, are used. Their advantage is compact size, ease of use, reasonable cost. In order to not reduce the effectiveness of cleaning equipment, thorough and regular maintenance is required.
A regular check of the water treatment is required to obtain softened clean water for reuse in the heating and water supply communication network. Checking the status and performance is carried out for the following types of equipment:
- units intended for ozonation and disinfection;
- disk, mesh and cartridge filters for mechanical coarse cleaning;
- ion exchange units;
- reverse osmosis systems;
- nano and ultrafiltration units.
Large companies that have proven themselves well, on contractual terms, carry out maintenance, replacement of parts and repair of water treatment structures.
Maintenance of water purification equipment
Specialized organizations serve water treatment equipment. As a rule, their work includes the following list of activities:
- Drawing up a plan for the frequency of work performed.
- Regular testing of unit performance.
- Full maintenance and equipment setup.
Service Stages:
- Laboratory analysis of the chemical and biological composition and quality of water.
- Check the pressure at the inlet to the system, if necessary, adjust.
- Diagnostics of the work of the working site pouring in containers with a special reagent.
- Maintenance of filtering equipment, regular cleaning.
- Recovery, including filter maintenance, filling the required reagents.
- Visual control of equipment operation, full recovery of performance and power in case of breakdown.
Express analysis allows you to assess the condition and quality of water by chemical and biological parameters. Also, with its help it is possible to calculate which of the filter parts does not cope with the task.
Low pressure in the pipes adversely affects the quality of the cleaning fluid. Water pouring in the tank should be carried out without failures and stops. After checking and repair, make a trial run and check the pressure.
Special companies have developed programs for servicing equipment.
- Comprehensive diagnostics. The equipment is studied not only visually, but also instrumentally, which allows you to identify obvious and hidden breakdowns.
- Technical supervision - regular diagnostics, reloading of filters and reagents. A full range of services is guaranteed after signing the contract.
- Replacement filters, reloading reagents. During continuous operation, the very first filters fail, since they have the largest load. Solving problems allows regular cleaning or filter replacement, the addition of chemicals.
If it was not possible in a timely manner to find a malfunction and eliminate it, order repair services. Reconstruction is the preferred option for working but outdated water systems.
Specialized organizations provide a full package of services of various levels of complexity. The program is compiled individually depending on the preferences of the customer, for example, service is provided on an ongoing basis or once.
Most common breakdowns
Owners often turn to specialized workshops because of the same breakdowns. In water supply equipment, the following work units usually fail:
- Softener malfunctions are a common failure when a large amount of salt deposits build up on the surface of the reagent tank float switch. For this reason, reagent is not taken from the tank and the water remains dirty.
- If the degreaser has stopped functioning correctly, a greasy build-up has formed in large quantities on the inside of the control valve. As a result, the piston mechanism sticks, the rings break, and the water is continuously discharged into the drainage, or further spreads through the untreated pipelines.
- The aeration column has stopped working - a high concentration of iron in the water causes the air vent valve to clog. This results in airing of the system or continuous discharge of water into the drain.
The cost depends on the type of service. The average price in Russia for a single visit of a master to establish the cause of a breakdown is from 2000 rubles. The cost of annual planned accounting (4 visits within 12 months) - from 14,000 rubles.
If the equipment is outdated, but the loads are large, it is recommended to give preference to scheduled annual inspections. The conclusion of such an agreement may reduce the costs of the owner of the water treatment equipment. However, you need to apply to trusted organizations with a good reputation, otherwise the money will be wasted.
The optimal frequency of maintenance is once every three months, if there is no need for an extraordinary check and troubleshooting. A guarantee of the absence of serious damage is a regular check of the condition and performance of the equipment, cleaning and replacing filters.
