from top of tank.
Note

B O S T E C L I M I T E D .
If the RED Liquid moves into the RED Zone the extraction system is not
working correctly – contact BOSTEC.
If the RED Liquid is in the Green or Amber Zones you are ready to spray.
With the extraction system running check each of the Front Wash Screens
has even water coverage and if necessary adjust the screws on top of the
Screens until you have an even water flow.
If there is too much water flowing from the top it may be necessary to
adjust the gate valves behind the Wash Screens.
Note
Never spray directly at one part of the Water Screen – this may
cause the water to split and the filtration system may not
effectively remove the paint from the air.

Maintenance Procedures
Water Treatment:
Depending on where you are in the country different water will produce different results
and require different solutions for your paint booth.
As standard we supply a denaturant that allows the paint to separate from the water and
this will then (typically) settle to the bottom of the tank and should be cleaned out as
advised below.
Please check the instructions supplied with the chemical additive to ensure this is being
carried out correctly.
Note
Biocide Additives
Spray booth biocide is specially developed for the complete microbiological
protection of the water within water wash paint spray booths. It is a red-brown
liquid particularly suitable for the elimination of offensive odours caused by bacteria
in the water.
Anti-Foam/pH Regulators
Occasionally the type of paint being used may promote excessive foam in the system
or the system may sometimes need treating with a pH regulator to maintain the
correct level of alkalinity to boost paint removal effectiveness.

Daily:
Check Filter condition using Manometer located on side of booth (see page 3).
Thoroughly clean down the Spray Booth area.
Check the water level and adjust accordingly
Weekly:
In addition to Daily checks:
Thoroughly clean glazing panels used for lighting (use thinners or other suitable
solvent if necessary).
Check the pump for direction and check for leaks
Check and adjust chemical level as required
Check the level of waste in the bottom of the tank. If the level is over 50% then the
tank will require emptying of paint waste deposits immediately to ensure correct
filtration is maintained.
Monthly:
In addition to Daily & Weekly checks:
Check belt tension on extraction fansets – replace if required.
If belts are adjusted run for 15-20 minutes and then re-check and re-adjust as required (as the
belts may stretch as they become warm).
From inside the extraction chamber (where possible) inspect and clean the fan impellor if any
paint buildup is apparent. Following cleaning lightly grease each impellor to aid easy cleaning
next time.
Check and clean the internal finger guard if any paint buildup is apparent. Check and
clean internal spray nozzles (behind the wash screens).
