operation of the Aquacom needs to be checked on
the basis of the different meters. For the
appropriate designation and the location of every
meter you are referred to section 6.3.
Replacement of the filter
The Aquacom unit hold one single filter, since only
the supply air passes through the unit. This filter is
applied to maintain a clean heat exchanger of the
Aquacom unit. If an external ventilation source
also uses filters, it is possible to remove the supply
filter after placement of the Aquacom. The
Aquacom unit itself has no filter message, since
most ventilation units have this. When the
ventilation unit shows a message to change or
replace the filters, this also needs to be done for
the Aquacom. When no message is available, it is
recommended to change the filter every 12 weeks.
The frequency of the cleaning/replacement
however depends on the degree of contamination.
New homes and new ducts contain relatively a lot
of dust. Therefore it is recommended to clean the
filter every two weeks, and every three months
change the filter. When the contamination appears
to be limited, the interval can be increased.
Replacement/cleaning of the filter is done in the
following way:
-
Disconnect the Aquacom plug from the wall
socket
- Disable the external ventilation source so no
pollution will enter the heat exchanger
- Open the front cover using the two clip
closures on top of the unit
- Lift up the filter on to the foam, and pull the
filter towards you, as shown below:
- Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner if it
does not need replacement.
- Clean the plate on which the filter rests.
Possibly there are larger contaminations like
stones and leaves.
- Put in the new filter. If there is an arrow on
the filter, this needs to point in the direction of
the heat exchanger.
- Close the front cover with the clip attachments
on top
- Reconnect the plug of the external ventilation
unit
- Reconnect the plug of the Aquacom unit
- Record the date of a possible filter
replacement in the schedule on page 31
Check the operation of the Aquacom
To guarantee the proper operation of the
Aquacom, there are several simple things you can
do during cleaning or replacement of the filters. If
you notice a problem during the next actions,
contact your installer.
-
Check whether the manometer shows the
correct pressure. This should be between 0.8
and 1 bar, and may not be higher than 1 bar.
- Check whether the flow meter shows a flow.
In order to do so, make sure the pump is
turned on.
For this, the plug must be
connected to the wall socket, watch out for
electricity and cabling!
If the pump is off, use
the function pump test as described in section
3.1 sub menu 4. The flow should be 6 l/min. If
the pump is working, but there is no flow,
check whether the main valve, and the valve
on the flow meter are open. Call your installer
in case of a defect pump.
- Check for leakage/damage.
3.4 Recycling of the Aquacom
If your Aquacom has come at the end of its
lifetime, do not dispose it in your household trash.
Consult with your supplier what he can do with the
unit. If he cannot take the unit back, ask your
municipality what you can do. Your municipality
has solutions for the recycling of components or
environment friendly processing of the materials.
The Aquacom is mainly made of metal and is
therefore particularly suitable for recycling.
