Hydraulically Activated Pumps- They should be inspected quarterly to confirm the hydraulic level is within the safe and optimum range if they have been used continuously.

The suction and discharge check valves of both the pumps should also be inspected for signs of wear & tear especially between the ball and seats. What are Chemical Resistant Pumps? Chemical Resistant pumps are used in a variety of process applications due to their reliability and less operating costs.
