Seasonal Suggestions for Ventilation level
Whilst your ventilation level is a personal preference and makes the HRV adaptable to any
home, it is suggested that you lower the ventilation level to 1 during the summer months
and increase it during winter to above 3. Having it above 3 in winter will ensure any
condensation is minimised.

I've had my HRV system for a while - why do I have a black ring around
my outlet vent?
In some houses, the air passing out of the outlets across the ceiling will cause a static
charge to build up. This can cause a build up of household dust from inside the room
attracted by the static charge. Simply wipe away the dust ring with a dry cloth, then turn
the diffuser plate of the vent open a little further to help stop this from recurring.
