Purchasing a Septic Truck comes with the added responsibility of maintaining it and looking after it. If you do not drive the truck yourself, you will still have to learn the basic maintenance that goes with ensuring that the truck is in good working shape, as you will have the responsibility of forwarding that knowledge to your employees.
You and your employees will have to remain alert to problems that could arise in a septic truck. The best way to combat those problems is to deal with them now. Your team of employees will be in charge of looking after the transmission, motor, and making sure that it equipped with all the right parts.
To increase the life expectancy of a septic truck, you will have to keep track of the following things:
Understanding The Relationship Between Pumps And Tanks
The first lesson you need to learn is to understand the relationship between the pumps and the tanks. Since all the parts function in cohesion with each other, you have to ensure that all the accessories associated with the vacuum tank are installed properly. If the accessories are not installed or are missing, the pump will sustain considerable damage. You need to get into the routine of inspecting all your septic trucks to prevent damage.
The Two Types of Damages that Occurs in the Vacuum Tanks
When you use powerful pumps or when the pumps are not adjusted properly, it can result in a tank implosion. Tank implosions can also occur if the pressure is too high. Examine the pumps and valves in the septic truck to see if they are the correct size. Additionally, ensure that all the required accessories are in place. If they are not, the truck’s control system is at risk, as the basic purpose of the accessories is to protect the tank and pump.
The Important Accessories You Need to Protect the Tank
You need to equip the tank with two important accessories, a vacuum and pressure relief valve and pressure and vacuum gauge. A vacuum and pressure relied on valve shields the tank from an impending explosion by opening it and allowing air to pass out of it. A pressure and vacuum gauge allow the controller to read the pressure level of the tank to make sure that all the functions are working correctly.
