Grit never sleeps — and if you don’t stay on top of it, it’ll take over. Keeping your plant running smooth comes down to daily habits that make a difference.
Here’s a quick checklist to keep grit in its place:
Start with Screens – Kick off your shift with a walkthrough of headworks. Clear out debris before it builds up.
Flush It Out – Regularly rinse channels and hoppers to prevent settled grit from becoming a concrete-like nightmare.
Log Everything – Little changes in flows or pressure? Make notes. Grit problems creep up slowly, and your logs are your first line of defense.
Check Equipment Wear – Grit chews through parts. Give pumps, valves and grit removal systems a daily once-over to catch wear before it becomes failure.
Keep It Moving – Stagnant zones are grit’s best friend. Watch for dead spots and keep those flows healthy.
A few minutes a day keeps the grit away — and keeps your plant flowing like it should.
