RecoupAerator Care Instructions
Thank you for choosing UltimateAir™ technology. The first step toward proper maintenance of your new
RecoupAerator energy recovery ventilator is filling out the Warranty Registration. Sending it in will ensure that
you'll receive reminders and important updates.
IMPORTANT
Before performing service to your RecoupAerator, TURN OFF and DISCONNECT power from the unit. You can
disconnect power by either unplugging the unit or by switching the applicable breaker in your breaker box to OFF.
Otherwise the unit's power supply will remain hot and could cause serious bodily injury!
Maintenance List
•
Aluminum Pre-filters: clean every 3-4 months if continuously operated, or every 6 months otherwise.
•
Heat transfer core filter ("pies"): check and if necessary replace every 6 months.
•
Exterior weather caps: check for obstructions regularly.
•

Aluminum Pre-filters
Aluminum pre-filters should be cleaned at least once every 6 months. Clean more frequently if necessary.
To
clean the filters:
1.
Disconnect the power to the RecoupAerator.
2.
Unscrew the thumbscrews on the top of the unit and remove the top sheet metal cover by lifting it free
and set aside.
3.
Remove the two rectangular Styrofoam inserts by grasping each at the recessed areas at the edges of the
inserts. They will easily lift free.
4.
Slide the aluminum pre-filters out, being careful not to bend the frames. There will be one long filter and
one short filter.
5.
Check the filters for build-up and replace if clogged. If it is soiled but not clogged, you should be able to
clean it by soaking it in warm soapy water, and rinsing. Dry pre-filters completely before reinserting it in
your RecoupAerator.
6.
Replace the filter
7.
Replace the Styrofoam inserts and the top door, and tighten the thumbscrews.
