How often should all low water cut-offs be taken apart, cleaned, and inspected?

Yearly
Every five years
Every three years
Never

The correct answer is: Yearly

Low water cut-offs are critical safety devices used in boiler systems to prevent boiler dry fire conditions, which can lead to equipment damage and safety hazards. Regular maintenance of these cut-offs is essential to ensure they are functioning correctly. Taking apart, cleaning, and inspecting low water cut-offs on a yearly basis is recommended because it allows for the removal of any buildup of sediment, debris, or mineral deposits that can impede their operation. This annual maintenance helps to confirm that the cut-off responds as intended during low water conditions, thereby ensuring that the safety mechanism is reliable and reducing the risk of boiler failure or accidents. The other suggested intervals are either too long or, in the case of never, completely unacceptable for maintaining a safe and functional boiler operation. Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring continued compliance with safety regulations and operational effectiveness in any boiler system.
