Maintenance And Servicing - Rinnai Enviroflo Operation Manual

Maintenance and servicing

For reliable operation the Rinnai Enviroflo Hot Water Heat Pump should be serviced
every two years. A typical service would include cleaning the evaporator, checking the
condition of the compressor and system connections, and ensuring there are no water
leaks. Regular servicing will help extend the life of the system. In addition to this we also
recommend the following.
Period
Every six months
Year five
Every 24 months after year five
In hard water areas the element must be periodically descaled. To do this the cylinder must be drained and the element removed.
1
TPR valve
This valve is located near the top of the
cylinder. It is essential for safe operation. The
TPR valve works by automatically venting hot
water if the temperature or pressure of the
water in the cylinder gets too high.
Every six months operate the easing gear to
remove lime deposits and to check that it is not
blocked. Easing the lever discharges hot water,
ensure no one is near the drain line.
DANGER
Failure to operate the relief valve
WARNING
easing gear at least once every six
months may result in the water heater
exploding.
Continuous leakage of water from the valve
may indicate a problem. It is important that you
raise and lower the easing gear GENTLY.
During the operation, if the valve does not
discharge water when the easing gear is lifted,
or does not seal again when closed arrange for
an authorised person to come and inspect the
system immediately.
During servicing of your cylinder the
TPR valve needs to be checked and/or

A TPR valve must not be replaced with one that
has a higher pressure rating than that specified
for the cylinder.
Clearing debris and pooling water
Ensure that water does not pool around the
cylinder base, and that debris around the base
is regularly cleared and does not build up.
Regular visual inspection
Regularly check your system to ensure there is
no buildup around or on top of the unit, and that
there are no water leaks. The exterior needs to
be kept clean.
