2. During use, the tank cap should rest on top of the screwed stem, but should
not be screwed on by more than a quarter turn, to allow for the passage and
elimination of the gas evolved during descaling. Check that the foam level
does not exceed the maximum lling level. If necessary, carefully add Goodway
defoamer P/N: Foam-Clear-01 to reduce foam – However, this will not stop or
slow gas generation.
3. The built-in ow reverser makes it possible to attack scale from both directions.
During descaling periodically move the ow reverser handle from one stop to
the other. This reduces descaling time considerably, and is more effective in
ushing out any solid matter, which will accumulate on the circumference of
the base of the tank. By attacking scale from both sides, it is possible to clean
piping which is almost totally obstructed.
4. Scale removal can be considered complete when bubbles no longer form in
the return pipe, and the solution is still acidic.
5. Check the pH of the circulating solution with a pH Sensor or Litmus paper GTC
P/N PH-TEST-PAPER.
6. Caps should be kept securely on all chemical containers while not in use. As a
matter of prudence, and to avoid splashes, operators should avoid standing
directly over the open neck of either chemical containers or the lling neck of
the descaling pump while pouring or adding chemicals.
7. If the pump is not to be used for a period of time, wash out the pump after
use by circulating clean water through it, to prevent any residues of descaling
process from drying and "gumming up" the rotor.
IMPORTANT: When working with acidic descaling chemicals always wear suitable
protective clothing and goggles, and check and observe instructions supplied with
descaling chemicals and refer to Material Safety Data Sheets.
PLEASE OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS:
• The temperature of the descaling / ushing solution must not exceed 120°F
(48,8°C). Monitor temperature closely when descaling plant / equipment
which may already have a high temperature, such as the domestic water coil in
storage water heaters, or large plastic injection molding tools.
• Do not dissolve solid or crystalline descaling chemicals directly in tank, as
this may choke the pump inlet and cause abrasion damage. Dissolve such
chemicals in a bucket rst.
• Always keep pump upright, particularly in transit, to avoid any liquid
penetrating lower electric motor bearing, or lower electric motor bearing may
wear prematurely.
