CWST Cleaning explained
CWST cleaning is a drain, physical clean, inspect and sample cycle, with the report and sample result issued for your water safety file.
- Drain down and physical clean: Confirm where condensate should discharge and whether the obstruction, pump or drainage arrangement is responsible.
- Sediment removal: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.
- Surface and joint inspection: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.
- Post-clean water sample: Water condition, cleaning and equipment suitability should be checked against the manufacturer’s requirements.
Interpreting the reported fault
A planned visit should establish condition and identify deterioration. An existing fault may need separate diagnosis and parts. Agree which assets, cleaning tasks, functional checks and records are included, and base the interval on manufacturer guidance and operating conditions.
- Reported symptom: sediment, scale or biofilm in a stored water tank
- Record when the problem started and any recent changes
- Keep fault codes and model details for the assessment

CWST cleaning is a drain, physical clean, inspect and sample cycle, with the report and sample result issued for your water safety file.
What the reported symptom tells us
sediment, scale or biofilm in a stored water tank. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.
