For facility managers, the most stressful problems are the unexpected ones. Unplanned shutdowns do more than disrupt production, they drain budgets and throw operations into chaos. Industry surveys highlighted by WorkTrek estimate that unplanned downtime costs manufacturers over $125,000 per hour on average. Studies on pump and filtration systems published on ResearchGate show that without structured maintenance, operators face higher risks of failure, shorter equipment life, and higher total operating costs.
Tekleen’s six month and twelve month maintenance programs, centered on genuine spare parts, take the guesswork out of upkeep. With parts, checklists, and timing in place, maintenance becomes planning rather than scrambling.
Why proactive maintenance is smarter
As outlined in Facilities Dive, reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to run critical systems, leading to emergency service calls, higher labor costs, and downtime that ripples through entire facilities. Preventive programs reduce maintenance costs by up to 23 percent and cut unplanned downtime by as much as 30 percent. The American Water Works Association reinforces this perspective, noting that preventive maintenance is essential to protecting water infrastructure investments and improving long term performance.
Making maintenance simple and reliable
Six Month Interval
- Inspect and clean coarse and fine screens
- Check valves, pressure, and connections
- Replace upper and lower O-rings (x2), cover seal, and piston repair kit
Twelve Month Interval
(plus all six month tasks)
- Inspect cover seal, piston, and bearings for wear
- Clean or replace dirt collectors and nozzles
- Inspect and replace air and water connections if needed
- Replace piston assembly, DP switch, bearings, and collector fins as required
By following these intervals, customers can align maintenance with their operational schedules, reduce emergency calls, and build confidence that systems will run as intended.
