OVERVIEW:
Equipment entry is any item (pumps, valves, vehicles, buildings, pipe lateral, anything) for which you want to track maintenance. Each piece of equipment needs a unique set of numbers and/or letters to identify it. The Equipment# field has a limit of 28 characters. The maximum recommended length is 20 characters. This is in order to make the calendar more readable. If you do not have an existing equipment numbering scheme use simple abbreviations. The following table shows some common abbreviations.
| Equipment Description |

| Effluent Flow Meter |

| Influent Sampler |
InfSampler |
| Aeration Blower #2 |
AB2, AerBlwr2 |
| Final Clarifier |
