During colder months we often have an increased amount of service calls caused by problems that can often be avoided.
By following the below maintenance guide, you can keep your Decon\/Welfare units running problem free avoiding costly down time and additional service costs.
Alternatively, we have a variety of useful user guides which show operations of all of our equipment including Decon\/Welfare units, click here to view<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. <\/strong>It’s vital that when you’re leaving site for the evening or weekend or finishing a job you drain down the boiler in the unit.
All boiler units have a drain value usually located under the boiler itself. Open the valve to release any water and leave open until next use.

2.<\/strong> Ensure that shower units & sinks are drained of water. Again, this is vital to the close down of the unit to make sure no water is left in the pipes . Frozen pipes can be costly and time consuming to repair. If you require a run down of the process call us on 0800 0182932.<\/strong>

3.<\/strong> Make sure that you have enough supplies of Gas, Water and Electric.\u00a0 All too often we can forget the basic supplies we need to run the units competently or have adequate replacements or alternatives if supplies run down or are impinged.

4.<\/strong> DO NOT relight your boiler if it is frozen.\u00a0 Trying to relight a frozen boiler can cause a whole host of problems. Make sure it is adequately thawed out first before ignition. If in doubt call us first and we can run through the procedure.

5.<\/strong> Frozen pipes can be a common occurrence when units aren’t drained adequately. Make sure any frozen pipes are adequately defrosted by covering with hot water (not boiling) if available prior to using the unit.
If in doubt call us on 0800 0182932<\/strong> to run through the procedure. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

Our mobile service engineers are available to fix almost all decontamination\/welfare unit issues onsite. Plus, they can service units and perform electrical and gas checks too.
For all other issues non-repairable onsite, we can hire you a replacement unit until yours is repaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
