Bleed Off - BONAIRE Durango 3500M Owner's Manual

BONAIRE PORTABLE COOLER
Maintenance

Bleed Off

The bleed off rate is factory preset and is adjustable. It is critical to the life of the
product that the bleed off function is not restricted in any way as this may void unit
warranty and will cause damage to your filters and cooler.
The function of the bleed off must be inspected by the owner on a regular basis to
ensure the bleed off continuously flows when the unit is operating "COOL" mode.
Setting the BLEED OFF Rate
To set the bleed rate locate the patented DIALFLO externally on front panel. Rotate the BLEED knob
clockwise for more flow and anti-clockwise for less flow.
Note: Hold the water flow knob while setting the bleed rate as the water flow rate may go out of
adjustment. It is recommended that the bleed water is plumbed away to waste in accordance with local
and state plumbing requirements.
Setting the Water Flow Rate
To set the water flow rate to the filter pads, rotate water flow knob anti-clockwise for more water and
clockwise for less water.
Note: Hold the bleed knob while setting the water flow rate as the bleed rate may go out of adjustment.
All evaporative coolers require water bleed-off to prevent build-up of mineral deposits as the result of the
evaporative cooling process. This will maximize the life of the premium Filtercool filter pads and minimize
mineral deposits inside the cooler. The bleed off function only operates in COOL mode (when the water
pump operates).

Please Note: - Any additional pipe work fitted to the bleed off by the owner must slope away from the unit
in a downhill manner.
If water discharge is not an option because of location or cost of water, you may coil the bleed hose
inside the cooler opposite the Float Valve so the water recirculates back into the tank. Please be aware
that this will result in the Filtercool Pads needing to be changed more frequently.
