Express Drains’ Post

Some areas of the country are experiencing a warming trend, while others are feeling chilly. Regardless, the end of winter is near, and it's time to see if your furnace is still standing. One no-no in a well-operated furnace is a black furnace filter. Change the filter before you shut it down for the season, but get it inspected by a local HVAC technician, too. A black furnace filter may signal professional attention, depending on the diagnosis. Maintain healthy indoor air and get your furnace inspected one more time before it goes into storage for the season. #homeimprovement #homeimprovementprojects #diy #diyproject #heater #heating #furnace #furnacerepair #furnacereplacement #furancemainteance #furancetuneup #heatingrepair #heatingmaintenance #heatingtuneup #heatingreplacement #home #house #apartment #loft #condo #townhome #townhouse #duplex #furnacefilter #indoorairquality #healthyindoorair #airpollution #carbonmonoxide #winter #spring #changethefilter #realestate #finance #financing #maintenanceplan #hvaccompany #hvacrepair #hvactechnician #hvacexpert #hvacprofessional #ductwork #thermostat #hvacunit #storage #womenshistorymonth #february #march #april #hvacinspection #furnaceinspection #heaterinspection #annualinspection #test #easter #safety #hazardous https://lnkd.in/gSmguDhQ

🛡️ **Decanter Safety and Maintenance Guidelines - Continued** Before operating your decanter, adhere to these critical safety and maintenance practices: 🔍 **Thorough Inspection**: Ensure the decanter is in optimal working condition. Do not operate if any rotating components, cover, frame, electrical components, or other critical parts show damage or severe wear. ⚡ **Electrical Checks**: Avoid operation if the insulation on electrical cabling is damaged or if connections are loose. 🔒 **Secure Covers and Guards**: Make sure all covers and guards are properly closed and secured. 🔗 **Check Feed and Outlet Connections**: Verify that all connections for feed to the decanter and outlets are secure. ⛔ **Avoid Open Outlets**: Do not operate with open or accessible outlets, as process material may exit at high speed and temperature. ❄️ **Material Condition**: Do not start with frozen or hard material inside the decanter to prevent unbalances. 📉 **Monitor Vibration Levels**: Ensure vibration levels remain within the limits specified in the manual. 🌡️ **Check Bearing Temperatures**: Keep bearing temperatures within safe limits. 🦻 **Hearing Protection**: Always use hearing protection, as sound levels can exceed safe exposure limits of 80 dB(A) for long-term and 85 dB(A) for short-term exposure. ⏱️ **Limit Idle Running**: Avoid running at full speed for over 2 hours without feed or flushing with water to prevent overheating and wear. 🛠️ **Speed Adjustments**: Reduce main and differential speeds if the decanter must run idle without feed. 💧 **Coordinate Discharge**: Never start the feed pump or flush the decanter before opening discharge valves or starting discharge pumps. 🛑 **Immediate Stop Protocol**: Immediately stop feed flow if discharge pumps or conveying systems are halted or if outlets are blocked. By following these guidelines, you ensure the safety and efficiency of your decanter operations. Regular monitoring and proper training are key to maintaining peak performance. 🌟 #SafetyFirst #OperationalExcellence #DecanterCentrifuge #IndustryBestPractices #MaintenanceMatters

How Does A Sewer Cleaning And Inspection Work? Curious about what is happening inside your sewer line? Most people would respond NO until they begin experiencing a problem. Then their curiosity grows. Here are a few facts about a cleaning and sewer line inspection. Cleaning should be the first step in conducting a camera inspection since a clean pipe is easier to evaluate. Hydrojetting the sewer line will remove dirt and debris and allow trained technicians to see the type and condition of your sewer line and identify possible problems that may be brewing. Using a camera mounted on a long cable, the technician inserts the cable down branch lines from faucets, sinks, and tubs into the sewer line. Above ground, a device takes in and records signals from the camera to complete the inspection. We offer cleaning and inspections of sewer lines in Clarksville.
