Bleed-off
All evaporative air conditioners need some water bleed-off to prevent build-up of
mineral deposits in the system. The correct setting of the bleed rate will ultimately
govern the life of the unit.
With normal town water supply, bleed rate should be adjusted so that the discharge is
not less than approximately 10 litres per hour. Increased water hardness may require
a higher bleed rate and increased maintenance.
The method for setting the bleed rate is to adjust the patented DIALFLO unit located
externally on the unit.
It is recommended to plumb the bleed-off away from the unit to a down-pipe in
situations where the discharge may cause unsightly stains, e.g. Colorbond Roofs.
Note: To control water volume to filter pad rotate the filter dial anti-clockwise for more
water and clockwise for less water. To control bleed-off rate rotate bleed dial
clockwise for more water and anti-clockwise for less water.
Note: Always set the water volume to the filter first before setting the bleed off rate.
