Maintenance
Overview
Periodic routine maintenance will promote extended equipment life. While ComPak® units use components
that are usually maintenance free and do not require service, a simple check could result in noticing possible
problems before they develop into major problems.
Daily Maintenance
• Pool water chemistry is a part of daily maintenance and it is recommended to follow National Spa and Pool
Institute standards. PoolPak® LLC strongly recommends following the National Spa and Pool Institute values.
Table 5-2. Pool Water Chemistry
• PoolPak recommends daily logging of your pool water chemistry. MAINTENANCE AND YOUR POOL
WATER CHEMISTRY IS IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS.
Monthly Maintenance
• Air Filters, inspect and replace or clean as applicable. Dirty filters restrict air flow and can cause improper
unit operation.
• Ensure that the condensate collection pan is draining properly and the condensate is not overflowing or
being drawn into the supply air stream. Check the condensate and overflow lines to ensure that neither are
clogged.
• Check the operation of the blower motor and scroll. Ensure that the scroll does not rub the housing. Check
for proper belt tension. Worn or cracked belts should be replaced. Check fan and mounting brackets for
tightness.
• Ensure that the ALARM light is not illuminated.
Annual Maintenance
• Inspect the refrigeration and water circuits for leaks, wear or corrosion. Corrosion on the water piping or
condenser may indicate poor pool chemical maintenance and improper chlorine and pH levels.
• Check electrical components for loose wiring.
• Although the exterior of the ComPak® units are powder coated, wipe down unit, particularly if installed in
an area subject to dirt or chemical concentration.
• Wash, brush, or vacuum the evaporator and air condenser coils. This will ensure proper heat transfer and
reduce static pressure losses. Caution should be taken not to wet electrical components inside the unit.
