How can I keep the equipment together and protected?

How do I identify the replacement part I need?

Tell Inyathi which pole, syringe or other equipment you already have and which component needs attention. This helps avoid assuming that a replacement part will match your setup.

Maintain the equipment you already have

A practical benefit of the Inyathi system is that individual components are available separately. Replacement parts and maintenance items can help users keep existing equipment in service rather than automatically replacing the complete setup.
