To make it easy, Aqua have compiled this handy checklist.
Safety Shower Maintenance Checklist
Surrounding area:
- Is the area well-lit and free of obstructions?
- Is the safety shower easily visible and well signed?
Visual check:
- Are there any signs of rust, damage or leaks?
- Is the shower clean and sterilised?
- Is the shower protected from frost?
Activate the shower:
- Does the unit operate with ease?
- Does the water flow within 1 second of activation?
- Is the water dirty or cloudy?
- Does the shower deliver tepid water? (between 16-38°C / 60-100°F)
For self-contained / tank-fed showers, it is also important to monitor the status of the water in the tank. Aqua Tank Showers are fitted with a water level indicator and water temperature display to make this quick and simple!
