Ducted Evaporative Air Conditioning
W ATER M ANAGEMENT
All evaporative air conditioners need some water to go to
waste to prevent build-up of mineral deposits in the system.
Your unit has been supplied with a dump valve as well as a
bleed control to provide maximum options for best water
management.
The correct setting of the dump valve and bleed will
ultimately govern the life of the unit. Should there be
evidence of a build up of mineral deposits in the unit, review
the dump and or bleed-off values.
Failure to manage the correct levels of dissolved solids in the
unit will void warranty. Refer to your local dealer for best
settings.
Dump Valve
The dump valve provided with your unit is able to be
operated with various timed dumping options (0, 1, 2, 4, 8,
12, 24 hours).
Dumping cycles will have to be activated (refer to the setup
section of this document) and set in accordance with the
water quality in your area. In areas of good water quality, the
correct dumping cycle only may suffice and the bleed-off
function in the Dialflo may not be required. Increased water
hardness may require a bleed rate as well as a dump cycle
and increased maintenance.
Drainage from the dump valve must be plumbed away in
accordance with local and state plumbing requirements.
However this water could also be stored in a non drinking
water tank for other use.
Set the Water Distribution Flow Rate
To set the water distribution rate locate the DIALFLO
externally on one of the unit corner posts. Rotate the filter
knob (the outer knob) anti-clockwise for more water and
clockwise for less water. Do this before setting a bleed
rate.
Set the BLEED-OFF Rate.
Use the DIALFLO to rotate the BLEED knob (the inner
knob) clockwise for more water flow and anti clockwise for
less.
Note: Hold the distribution knob (Filters) while setting the
bleed rate as the distribution flow rate may go out of
adjustment.
