How do I clean Vacuum
lines
-
Always
use a non-forming, enzymatic cleaner that is
recommended for vacuum pumps.
This is especially critical in the Dry Vac systems.
This is because the floats in the tank that protect
the motors will not be activated by the foam, thus
allowing the foam to get to the motors. This will
cause rust and eventually cause terminal failure.
-
Bleach
is no longer the preferred cleaner of the vacuum
pumps. it is cheaper and easier to obtain, but it is
found to damage the pumps. If the bleach was used
straight or in high content mixture it is capable of
breaking down the screens and brass components in the
wet pumps. It doesn't happen overnight, but it has
happened in as little as 3 weeks.
-
You
should clean your vacuum lines everyday, to increase
the life of the pump & the efficiency of vacuum. Using
the cleaner keeps debris from building and growing in
the pumps and tanks. It also helps keep the lines
clear of bacteria in the lines, which in turn allows
debris to move easier, cutting down the possibility of
restriction.

Check
the "Traps" weekly on the vacuum pump.
