- Measurement of the sludge level in the sludge trap, preferably in the inlet area
- Check of the automatic closure device and any warning devices present
- Check the permeability of the coalescing device by visually inspecting the water level whilst water is flowing
Any defects found must be rectified immediately!
Maintenance in accordance with DIN EN 1999-100
