MAINTENANCE
OVERVIEW
Periodic routine maintenance will promote extended equipment life. While PoolComPak™ units use components that
are usually maintenance free and do not require service, a simple check could result in noticing possible problems before
they develop into major problems.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
• Pool water chemistry is a part of daily maintenance and it is recommended to follow National Spa and Pool Institute
standards. PoolPak™ International strongly recommends following the National Spa and Pool Institute values.
Table 5-1. Pool Water Chemistry
•
PoolPak™ International recommends daily logging of your pool water chemistry. MAINTENANCE AND YOUR
POOL WATER CHEMISTRY IS IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
•
Air Filters, inspect and replace or clean as applicable. Dirty filters restrict air flow and can cause improper unit
operation.
•
Ensure that the condensate collection pan is draining properly and the condensate is not overflowing or being drawn
into the supply air stream. Check the condensate and overflow lines to ensure that neither are clogged.
•
Check the operation of the blower motor and scroll. Ensure that the scroll does not rub the housing. Check for proper
belt tension. Worn or cracked belts should be replaced. Check fan and mounting brackets for tightness.
•
Ensure that the ALARM light is not illuminated.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
• Inspect the refrigeration and water circuits for leaks, wear or corrosion. Corrosion on the water piping or condenser
may indicate poor pool chemical maintenance and improper chlorine and pH levels.
• Check electrical components for loose wiring.
• Although the exterior of the PoolComPak™ units are powder coated, wipe down unit, particularly if installed in an
area subject to dirt or chemical concentration.
•
Wash, brush, or vacuum the evaporator and air condenser coils. This will ensure proper heat transfer and reduce static
pressure losses. Caution should be taken not to wet electrical components inside the unit.
NOTE
If service and inspections are not performed by a competent and experienced service firm, the manufacturer
warranty may be voided.
