Top Tips: Little and Often
Klafs Equipment is an investment and much like any other piece of equipment it requires maintenance to avoid those costly breakdowns. The key is to take a ‘Little and Often’ approach. Schedule weekly, monthly and quarterly tasks that ensure each part of the equipment is thoroughly checked. Take the proactive approach and carry out regular servicing as well as those general checks reducing the need for reactive action and costly downtime.
Inspect hinges , handles and door seals and repair or replace as nececessary. Loose hinges and damaged seals allow heat or moisture to escape increasing the time needed for the cabin to reach and indeed to maintain its optimum operating environment. Oil and tighten screw regularly and check seals for any signs of wear and tear.
Sauna sensors and bulbs can be subject to less than favourable water ingress from clients who are a little too vigorous with the raponsing bucket. Check weekly and keep stocks on site to avoid unnecessary cabin closures or downtime. It’s also good practice to check over the bench supports and structures, maintaining where required.
Steam Generating equipment is easily checked, cleaned and maintained. In fact, our generators have removable key parts which require regular replacement for efficient output. How regular will depend on level of use. A cabin which runs continually for 18 hours a day, 7 days a week will require mini services quarterly while a cabin situated in private residence will need only an annual service.
Developing a suitable routine is key. Operating an efficient maintenance schedule takes very little time yet offers long term cabin efficiency. Don’t forget to talk to our team, we are only a click or call away and can offer advice, answer those maintenance questions or send over manuals as needed.
