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 downpipe in situations where the discharge may
cause unsightly stains, eg. Colour bond Roofs.
Note: To control water volume to filter pad rotate filter 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.
