What maintenance program for Cu-Ni-Cr processes?

We have acidic copper, bright nickel and chrome bath..and I want to make a maintenance program. Can you give any ideas about that.

Firstly I would set up a program of routine chemical addtions after first determining these by controlled sampling and analysis. I would also set up a schedule to clean filters, repack filters, change anode bags ⇦ huh?, add peroxide to the nickel bath (if plating steel)etc. Further maintenance schedules can be set for the mechanical equipment.

As for chemistry, in addtion to determining the standard addtions above, a routine time to analyze the baths and to run test panels from same should be set up.
