The engineer should:
i) Wash any particulate matter from the inline strainer under clean running water.
ii) Refit the inline strainer once totally clean or install a new one where necessary.
9.5 Log Book
Please complete the log book supplied with the Ecocent, stating what has been done, the
date of the service and the name/contact details of the servicing engineer.
9.6 Maintenance Requirements
There are no formal annual maintenance requirements. However, it is advisable to check annually:
a) That the pressure and temperature relief valve is still functioning well by turning the plastic
black cap around to make sure that water comes out of the valve when the clack cap is turned.
b) Filters for debris.
c) That the air outlet to outside to make sure that it is clear from foliage, nests, etc.
d) Check and clean the condenser of any obstruction. Care should be taken during this operation
as the condenser is very delicate and any damage will impair the efficiency of the Ecocent and
may invalidate the warranty.
Please note that the top cover of the Ecocent can be removed by a suitably qualified engineer/plumber so
that the evaporator can be cleaned of dust and debris.
10.1 FAQs
1.
Why does the compressor not start when I turn the unit on?
Answer: If the unit has recently been running, the compressor will not start within 3 minutes of shutting
down. It will start automatically once this 3 minutes is up.
2.
Why does the outlet temperature rise slowly at times?
Answer: There is a temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the tank if the unit has either
just been started or there has been an unusually large amount of hot water drawn off.
3.
Why does the temperature on the display decrease when the unit is actually heating?
Answer: As water is drawn off, cold water is let into the bottom of the tank. Due to convection, this will
mix with the hot water in the top of the tank until the temperature returns to the target setting.
4.
Why doesn’t the unit start when the temperature of the stored water decreases?
Answer: To ensure that the unit it not turning on and off too frequently, the controller is set to ignore
temperature drops of less than 5
°
C. When that limit is reached, the unit will start.
5.
Why does the temperature drop so rapidly in the tank?
Answer: If an unusual amount of hot water is drawn off such that the tank is depleted, then the cold (inlet)
waster will reach the tank-top sensor and the reading will drop rapidly.
