MAINTENANCE
OVERVIEW
Periodic routine maintenance will promote extended equipment life. While PoolPak™ 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 that National Spa and Pool Institute standards
are followed. PoolPak™ International recommends daily logging of your pool water chemistry.
MAINTENANCE
AND POOL WATER CHEMISTRY ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE PROTECTION OF YOUR
WARRANTY RIGHTS.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
NOTE
To prevent personal injury, disconnect all electrical power to the unit prior to
performing any of the following maintenance procedures.
Perform the following on a monthly basis:
1. AIR FILTERS: Check and replace as necessary. On average, filters need to be replaced every three months.
2. FANS AND DRIVES: Check for worn or loose belts and adjust or replace as necessary. When it is necessary to
replace one belt in a set, the entire set of belts should be replaced. Fan belts can be retightened 24 to 48 hours after
replacement with BX style cogged belts.
3. BEARINGS: For Comefri fans, use SHC-100 Mobil Synthetic bearing grease to lubricate the ball bearings every six
(6) months, the spherical roller bearings every month. For Lau fans, use standard lithium bearing greases to lube fan
bearings every month. DO NOT GREASE ANY MOTOR BEARING WITH BEARING TYPE ENDING IN “ZZ”.
This information can be found on the motor nameplate
4. COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL: The ideal time for checking the oil level is during an extended period of operation
because then there will be the least amount of refrigerant mixed with the oil. The compressor should have been
in operation for at least 15 minutes and the crankcase should feel warm or hot to the touch. During the period of
operation, the refrigerant will be pumped out of the oil until only the normal quantity remains. Each compressor
system is equipped with an oil sight glass for checking oil level. Oil should be added to the system by a qualified
refrigerant service technician only. The oil level in the compressor is correct when oil is visible between the bottom
and two-thirds of the sight glass.
