How To Remove, Clean or Install a New Inlet Air Filter

RP aluminum washable air filters are designed to provide excellent filtering efficiency with a high dust holding

capacity and a minimum amount of resistance to air flow. Since they are constructed entirely of aluminum, they are

lightweight and easy to service. Optimum filter performance is maintained by recoating the filters after washing with

RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. To achieve maximum performance from your air handling equipment, air filters should

be cleaned on a regular basis.

The inlet air filter is located behind the right side panel. To access the filter, pull from slot on top cover. The filter may

now be cleaned or a new filter installed.

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Flush the filter with warm water from the exhaust side to the intake side. DO NOT USE CAUSTICS.

2. After flushing, allow filter to drain. Placing it with a corner down will assure complete drainage.

3. Recoat the filters with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. When spraying filter do so from both sides for

maximum concentration of adhesive.

Blower motor requires no maintenance. All bearings, shafts, etc. are lubricated for the life of the motor during

manufacturing.

If one of the condenser impeller motors (ambient impellers) should fail, it is not necessary to remove the air

conditioner from the cabinet or enclosure to replace the blower. The condenser blower is mounted on its own

bulkhead and is easily accessible by removing the front cover.

Each air conditioner is thoroughly tested prior to leaving the factory to insure against refrigeration leaks. Shipping

damage or microscopic leaks not found with sensitive electronic refrigerant leak detection equipment during

manufacture may require repair or recharging of the system. This work should only be performed by qualified

professionals, generally available through a local, reputable air conditioning repair or service company.

Refer to the data on the nameplate which specifies the type of refrigerant and the charge size in ounces.

Before recharging, make sure there are no leaks and that the system has been properly evacuated into a deep vacuum.

Operation of the air conditioner in areas containing airborne

caustics or chemicals can rapidly deteriorate filters, condenser

coils, blowers and motors, etc. Contact Pentair Technical Products

for special recommendations.
