PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
REMEDY
Pump doesn’t run – Unit
is calling for cooling (i.e.
console control switch is in
cool or summer position)
and reservoir is full .
1. Electrical connections (low voltage)
1. Verify all electrical connections. Verify correct voltage at pump terminals H
& J in REC junction box. See wiring diagram and Paragraph 4.0.
2. Electric float switch.
2. Check position of the actuators on the electric float switch.
3. Dirty pump.
3. Clean pump. See Paragraph 6.0.
4. Defective pump.
4. Replace pump.
Required water level (3”)
not being maintained
(pump & float control
system)
1. Float valve
1. Adjust float valve. See Paragraph 3.2.3.
2. Optional drain and fill valves
2. Check valves for proper operation. See
FIGURE 9.
3. Incorrect overflow pipe nipple (should
be 3-1/2”).
3. Replace pipe nipple.
4. Drain leaking.
4. Tighten drain fittings
Water running off of media
pads
1. Excessive water flow
1. Adjust ball valve in distribution line. See Paragraph 5.0.
2. Media pads need cleaned or replaced 2. Clean or replace media pads. See Paragraph 6.1.
Water not distributing
evenly
1. Distribution line clogged.
1. Flush distribution line. See Paragraph 6.2.
2. Holes in distribution line turned
2. Check position of distribution line. Holes should be spraying upward
toward diffuser. If not positioned with holes toward top, adjust position of line.
3. Pump not running on correct voltage. 3. Check voltage at pump terminal in cooling module junction box
Media pads becoming
clogged and discolored
quickly (scale and salt
deposits)
1. Bleedoff line clogged or inadequate
bleedoff (pump & float control system)
1. Clean bleed line. See Paragraph 3.2.3. A uniform buildup of minerals on
the entering air face of the media indicates insufficient bleedoff. Increase the
rate until the mineral deposits dissipate.
2. Excessive water flow.
2. Reduce flow by adjusting ball valve in distribution line. See Paragraph 5.0.
Water blowoff from media
pads or water being pulled
from reservoir.
1. Media pads installed incorrectly.
1. Install media pads correctly. See Paragraph 6.1.
2. Requires moisture elimination pad
(over 600 FPM).
2. Install moisture elimination pad. Follow instructions, Paragraph 3.1.2.
3. Water level not 3” (pump & float
system).
3. See second problem listed (Required water level not being maintained)

WARNING: Disconnect the power before servicing the cooling
module. Failure to do so can cause electrical shock, personal
injury, or death.
