Common Checks. Following are checks that are common to the entire hypochlorination unit.
(1)
Keep it clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem.
Clean as you work and as needed.
(2)
Rust and Corrosion. Check hypochlorination unit for rust and corrosion. If any bare metal or corrosion
exists, clean, and apply a thin coat of oil. Report it to your supervisor.
(3)
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition. You
can’t try them all with a tool, but look for chipped paint bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find a
bolt, nut, or screw you think is loose, tighten it or report it to your supervisor.
(4)
Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a bad
weld, report it to your supervisor.
(5)
Hoses and Fluid Lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings are tight.
Wet spots show leaks, but a stain around a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. If a leak comes
from a loose fitting of connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, report it to your
supervisor.

you see that they need to be done.

Leakage definitions operator/crew PMCS are classified as follows:
Class I
Seepage of fluid (indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
Class II
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not enough to cause drops to drip from item
being checked/inspected.
Class III
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked/inspected.
