We drain and flush the seal pots on Plan 52 systems once per year. For plan 53, there should be less process contamination entering the pot. We change that barrier fluid every three years.

thank you for answering. Em.. is that just a guideline or already stated in API or any standard?
 
That is just our practice. I am not aware of any relevant standard.
