Preseason Maintenance
The Hardy Heater is designed for ease of operation and ease of service. There is
maintenance that has to be done for proper operation of your new unit. Each year
before the heating season begins, you should check your heater to insure that
everything is ready for the heating season.
WATER QUALITY – The Hardy Heater is designed not to lose heater water through
evaporation. At times during the year, accidental overheating can occur, and the water
will evaporate. The evaporation causes a concentration of chlorides (salts) and other
minerals. To protect your heater from this build up of chlorides (salts) and other
minerals, we recommend to drain your heater each year at time of startup for the
heating season and refill with rain water or bottled water with a chloride concentration
of less than 15 parts per million. This will add to the life of your stainless steel tank.
DAMPER AND DRAFT SYSTEM – When you plugged in the power cord, the damper
solenoid should have opened the draft lid on the draft blower. The forced air draft
blower should also have come on. If both of these components are working correctly,
unplug the power cord. Open the clean out lid beside the draft blower and check for
any build up of ash, tar, or any other material that could restrict the amount of
combustion air entering the heater. Check the seal on the clean out lid to assure a
good air tight seal is still established. Lift the damper lid on the draft blower and inspect
the blower wheel for any build up of lint, dust, creosote, or any other substance that
could affect the performance of the draft blower. Spray the damper lid hinge, and the
damper solenoid plunger with WD-40, or its equivalent. Oil the draft blower motor with
electric motor oil, or 10 weight no detergent motor oil. Do no use WD-40, or machine
oil. Check the grates inside the heater to see if there is any ash build up or if the grates
are warped. Also at this time check the smoke stack for blockage, and the flame/baffle
in the C5 model
WATER PUMP – Unplug the power cord going to the water pump. Close the valve
above the water pump and the return water valve at the bottom of the heater. Remove
the pump motor from the pump housing by removing the four bolts in the pump
housing. Remove the impeller cartridge assembly from the pump housing. Check the
impeller to determine if it is free by spinning the impeller in the cartridge. Check the
pump housing for rust or any other build up that could impede the flow of water.
Reassemble the water pump, making sure the “O” ring in the cartridge is seated right.
Once the pump is reinstalled, open the water valve above the pump and the return
valve.
