Blower kiosk maintenance
Please refer to the specific instruction manual supplied with the air blower. Warranty
is subject to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Weekly check:
• Air blower within the kiosk is operational
• Blower should be running, which can be heard externally, and the
air failure beacon should NOT be flashing
• If the beacon is flashing this indicates that the air blower is not
delivering air to the plant
Quarterly check:
• If in a location with prevailing temperature, dust and humidity conditions,
check air blower filter cleanliness and clean or replace the filter as necessary.
Six-monthly check - visual inspection of:
• Air blower inlet filter
• Kiosk is dry and clear of any leaves
• Aeration chamber and air diffuser has an even bubble pattern
• Clarifying chamber has a minimum build-up of floating scum
• External pumping chamber (if fitted), outlet sample chamber (if
applicable) all need to be checked and maintained as necessary
Sample chamber
To retrieve samples, remove the small lid on top. This should be undertaken by a
qualified service provider.
