How easy is the 17DA to service?
The 17DA was designed with serviceability in mind. For example, to service the impeller, you simply have to remove the suction elbow and take off a round plate to have complete access to the impeller and diffuser ring. In addition, our unique 'Atmospheric' lube system and slit-sleeve journal and thrust bearings lets you get at and inspect the bearings without having to wait 48 hours to pumpdown the unit. To inspect the bearings you simply remove the bearing hosing cover, unbolt the split bearing covers and roll out the bearings for inspection. With some of the competing machines you have to remove multiple covers or take off the coupling.
