7.2Wet End Removal, Inspection, & Reinstallation
IF THE DIAPHRAGM HAS FAILED, PROCESS FLUID MAY HAVE CONTAMINATED THE PUMP ECCENTRIC HOUSING (ALTHOUGH NORMALLY, ANY PROCESS FLUID BEHIND A FAILED DIAPHRAGM WOULD PASS THROUGH THE BOTTOM DRAIN HOLE). HANDLE WITH APPROPRIATE CARE.

OMNI® diaphragms do not have a specific cycle life; however, the accumulation of foreign material or debris sufficient to deform the diaphragm can eventually cause failure. Failure can also occur as a result of system over pressure or chemical attack. Periodic diaphragm inspection and replacement are recommended. Each user should perform regular inspections to determine the replacement interval that is appropriate to their system conditions.
