What is meant by free cleanings per year? Is this related to cleaning the multi-user electric pump between clients?
Multi-user pumps do not have to be professionally cleaned between clients. Some models of multi-user pumps occasionally become infested with insects (mostly roaches). Most vendors recommend insect infested pumps be professionally cleaned by the manufacturer. Contract 01910 allows for 100 free cleanings per state annually for insect infested pumps. Vendors can provide more details if this issue arises in your state.
