Easy Access
The cold water basin section is easily accessible from
ground level. The basin is provided with solid access panels
which are designed to protect the basin water and heat
transfer coil from direct exposure to sunlight and debris.
The access panels are light-weight and easy to remove.
With the access panels removed a service mechanic has
complete access to the basin floor, heat transfer coil, float
assembly and pump strainer.
