PRATT PORTABLE DECONTAMINATION SHOWER
SHOWER SET UP OPERATION & TAKE DOWN:
1. Attach water supply hose to inlet hose nozzle.
Minimum water pressure should be 210kPa.
2. Ensure shower valve is turned off (T handle
is horizonal).
3. Turn water supply on.
4. Test shower by turning on shower valve (T handle
is vertical) and operate for 15-30 seconds to ensure
correct operation.
5. Turn shower valve off. Shower is now ready for use
when required.
6. After use, shower should be fully de-contaminated,
cleaned and dried.
7. Shower should also be inspected for damage,
or missing parts and should be completely
dry before storage.
8. Disassemble and store in carry bag to protect shower
from sunlight and other environmental conditions.
HOW TO USE THE SHOWER:
1. Open the shower valve (T handle is vertical). Allow about
10 seconds to reach full spray pattern.
2. Stand within water spray pattern and rotate body slowly
to receive full benefit of decontamination spray.
3. Remove any contaminated clothing.
4. Continue to rotate body and remain within shower for
at least 15 minutes.
5. Seek further medical attention.
EFFECTIVE SPRAY PATTERN:
1. The most effective spray pattern creates a wall of water
by overlapping the spray and keeping the spray
in a vertical plain with the upright portion of the shower.
2. All shower spray nozzles should be facing inward
so that the water sprays meet at the centre.
3. The optimum spray pattern can be attained with
a minimum pressure of 210kPa.
SHOWER INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
1. As with all emergency equipment this shower unit
should be inspected regularly to ensure all components
are included in the carry bag.
2. Also conduct a visual inspection of the components
to ensure there is no damage or missing parts or affect
from other contaminants.
3. It is recommended the shower unit is assembled and
operated on a regular basis to ensure proper operation
and that the connectors and seals are in good condition.
4. Occasional coating of a silicone based lubricant on the
connectors will ensure they function smoothly. 850mm
