Plastic Skid Systems

Troubleshooting

Caution: Skids contain chemicals and use electrical components. When troubleshooting issues with skids and pumps, always wear proper safety gear and safety glasses. Adhere to local safety protocols. Contact the factory when unsure about the proper operation of components or systems. Refer to a licensed electrician when modifying or testing electrical.  

Common Issues 

Air is entering the skid/pump. Check the suction lines to ensure all connections are tight. Check the level of the chemical tank. Remove obstructions and clean strainers. Replace O-rings as necessary to ensure the best seal.  

Pump is not accurate or no flow.  Check the suction line and clean the strainer. Check for closed valves and obstructions in suction lines, discharge lines, and injectors.  Check the condition of the pump. Check discharge pressure and pressure relief valve for bypass.   

The valves or fittings are leaking.   Identify the exact location of the leak.  Determine if the leak is from a location with an O-ring, weld, or crack. Take pictures and forward them to Blue-White customer service.  Simple O-ring seating or replacement may be needed. Ensure any replaced O-rings are of proper material.  Pre-manufactured pipe sections can be purchased from Blue-White.  

Electricals 

Check the specific instructions for the component. Remove the power and check the wiring connections. Use caution when working with wiring. Contact an electrical professional if you are unsure of the requirements. Keep power wiring separate from signal wiring. Use shielded cables for all signal wiring.
