Operation Considerations for
Accessories
Basin Heater (Optional)
One or more electric immersion heaters prevent the
cold water basin from completely freezing over and
damaging the unit during shutdown or standby. The
heaters are sized for the specific unit. The heating
element has an enclosure that is suitable for outdoor
use. Annually, inspect the basin heater prior to the
risk of reaching freezing operating conditions.
Operation
Ensure that the heating element is completely
submerged before energizing the main disconnect.
For installations that have a BAC Controls Enclosure,
please consult the submittal package provided with
the unit and contact your local BAC Representative
for support. For installations that use a stand alone
BAC heater control panel, see below.
ATTENTION:
The basin heater is not
designed to prevent icing during
unit operation.
