BASIC MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
To ensure that the Heatstar is operating to full efficiency, it is recommended that a service is carried out by
suitable qualified personnel at six monthly intervals.
It is also recommended that the fuel boiler and pool water filtration plant are also regularly serviced.
In addition to this, it is recommended that the following be periodically checked :
POOL ROOM AIR FILTER :
The pool room air filter is positioned within the air duct spigot connection sucking air from the pool room.
The purpose of the pool room air filter is to prevent the finned air heat exchange coils within the Heatstar from
becoming blocked.
The type of air filter used is a cardboard box panel containing a filter material. When dirty, the entire air filter is
simply disposed off and a new filter fitted.
If the air filters are allowed to become blocked, the airflow to the Heatstar will be restricted, resulting in inefficient
running or, in extreme cases, damage to the internal motors.
Shortly after the system is initially started, it may be necessary to renew the air filter. This is because there is
likely to be excessive dust in the pool room during this period.
To remove the filter from the access slot provided, switch off electrical power to the Heatstar, release the two
screws holding the slot cover in place and simply pull the filter towards you.
Replacement air filters are available from your supplier.
Please note : The Heatstar should not be operated while building work or tile cutting is still in progress for the
dust will quickly block the air filter.
FRESH AIR FILTER :
A fresh air filter is used to filter the incoming fresh air. The Fresh air filter is accessed by removing an access
panel on the top side of the unit, nearest the fresh air intake duct connection.
CONDENSATE WATER DRAIN PIPE :
Any dust etc. which may accumulate on the air heat exchange coils within the Heatstar may be washed down
into the condensate drain pipe.
If allowed to build up, such dust may cause a blockage in the pipe, resulting in over flowing of the condensate
water collection tray within the Heatstar.
Therefore the pipe should be periodically inspected to ensure that it is clear.
