Maintenance
General Maintenance
The MD1 pump requires very little maintenance. However, the pump and all accessories should be checked weekly. This is especially important when pumping chemicals that may have solids or precipitate. Inspect all components for signs of clogging, leaking, swelling, cracking, discoloration or corrosion. Replace worn or damaged components immediately.
Cleaning Ball Checks, Strainer, and Injection Valves
If pumping a solution that has particulate or may contain particles or precipitate, checking and cleaning ball check cartridges, suction strainer, and injection valve periodically will be necessary.
Replacing Diaphragms
MD1 pump DiaFlex diaphragms are guaranteed to last the life of the pump. Flex-A-Prene diaphragms will require normal replacement for wear. If a diaphragm failure occurs, please refer to the instruction manual for diaphragm replacement instructions. If there are any questions regarding a diaphragm failure or leak, please contact the factory for assistance. When contacting the factory, please provide the chemical, flow rate, system pressure, and pump serial number.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
MD1 Maintenance
- Is there a drawing of how the pump head valves should be assembled?is an MSDS the same as an SDS?
The Hazard Communication Regulation (Cal/OSHA, section 5194; Federal OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200) requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide safety data sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or material safety data sheets) for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on these hazards. The information contained in the SDS is largely the same as the MSDS, except now the SDSs are required to be presented in a consistent user- friendly, 16-section format.
Why can’t i strap my control and power cables together?Power cables and signal cables should not be run together because they can interfere with each other, causing signal distortion or loss. Power cables carry high currents and generate electromagnetic fields that can induce noise into nearby signal cables, which can lead to errors, data loss, or reduced signal quality.
Signal cables, on the other hand, are designed to carry low-level signals and are much more sensitive to electromagnetic interference. If power cables and signal cables are run together, the electromagnetic interference generated by the power cables can be picked up by the signal cables, leading to degraded signal quality and potential errors.
To prevent this interference, it is important to separate power cables and signal cables and run them in separate conduits or with enough physical distance between them. Additionally, the use of shielding and filters can help to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on signal cables.
