Bleeding AC unit: Bleeding the unit means letting the air out of the system until
there is a steady flow of water to cool unit. On Altair the unit is bled from the AC pump
strainer. First turn the unit on to restart the Air conditioning pump. Give the cap on the
strainer a few turns counterclockwise until you start hearing air and water coming out
the top (do not take the strainer all the way off). Once there is a steady flow of water
tighten the cap on the strainer and check that water is coming out the side of the
vessel. The Ac strainer can also pick up seaweed and debris and might require cleaning
at times.
Speak to the manager on duty before attempting to bleed AC-Unit.
