				ERV Quest ions & Answers   
					What is the difference between an HRV   
					and damp situation. In fact, about 2/3 of the energy   
					used by the air conditioner system is to remove   
					moisture. Therefore, when ventilating in the summer,   
					less moisture brought into the home means less work   
					for the air conditioner, and energy savings for you.   
					and an ERV?   
					The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)   
					transfers heat from one air stream to the other. This is   
					called sensible heat. The term ERV (Energy Recovery   
					Ventilator) is usually used to describe a unit with an   
					enthalpic core that transfers moisture as well as heat   
					from one air stream to the other. This (moisture   
					transfer) is called latent heat.   
					During the winter, an ERV recovers some humidity   
					from the exhaust air, reducing the need for humidification   
					, 
					if the required ventilation rate would make the home   
					too dry.   
					Enthalpic - what does it mean?   
					Enthalpy is the term used to describe the energy   
					content of air. This energy is a combination of the   
					sensible and latent heat. Therefore, a core which   
					transfers energy is called an enthalpic core.   
					What's the difference between this type of   
					core and a rotary type?   
					Here's a list of characteristics of the fixed plate core.   
					1. No rotating parts, so maintenance is easy and the   
					unit lasts a long time.   
					2. It is very flexible in terms of installation.   
					3. The core can easily be changed.   
					4. Because the supply and exhaust air streams are   
					completely separate, there is very little cross   
					leakage of any dust or germs.   
					Is an ERV better than an HRV?   
					NOT NECESSARILY!! In cold climates such as most   
					of North America, an HRV works better than an ERV.   
					This is because the air inside the home during the   
					winter months will be more humid than the outside air.   
					An ERV would transfer the latent heat (humidity) from   
					the exhaust air back into the incoming airstream. This   
					will aggravate moisture problems in the home and   
					encourage the growth of mold and mildew. If the air in   
					the home is too dry for comfort, an ERV will not help. A   
					humidifier should be used to increase the humidity to   
					a comfortable level.   
					Can the core become clogged with dust?   
					Because the surface of the core is a turbulent flow   
					area, dust sticks to it easily; however, because the   
					inside of the element is a laminar flow area, virtually no   
					dust sticks to it.   
					Where do you use an ERV instead   
					of an HRV?   
					An ERV is recommended for warm, humid areas with   
					heavy air conditioning use. As there is no defrost in an   
					ERV it is not recommended for areas where the   
					temperature drops below -4˚C (25˚F)   
					What is the maintenance?   
					About once a year you should use a vacuum cleaner   
					to remove the dust from the core's surface. DO NOT   
					WASH WITH WATER!!   
					Is an air filter needed?   
					To prevent clogging of the core, an air filter should   
					always be installed on the supply and exhaust sides of   
					the core.   
					Why transfer moisture in the summer   
					(cooling season)?   
					The enthalpic core will allow moisture to be transferred   
					from a humid air flow to a dry air flow. This property is   
					useful in the cooling season if an air conditioning   
					system is used to lower the indoor humidity. You will   
					then have dry, cool air in the exhaust of the ERV, and   
					warm humid air in the supply stream. With these   
					conditions, the ERV will be able to transfer the   
					moisture and heat of the supply air to the exhaust air.   
					In this way, the ERV will supply to the home air which   
					is cooler and drier than outside. Remember that an   
					ERV is not a dehumidifier, and on its own will not take   
					moisture out of the air.   
					How much ventilation do I need?   
					During seasons when your windows and doors are   
					closed, the ERV should operate continuously when   
					the dwelling is occupied, and either continuously or   
					intermittently when not occupied.   
					For most installations the ERV will normally be set to   
					operate continuously on low speed with the option of   
					going to high speed as the need arises. For example;   
					if you are entertaining and there is a large number of   
					people present (some may be smoking), the unit   
					should be switched to high speed.   
					So why use an ERV?   
					A properly operating air conditioner will not only lower   
					the temperature in your house, but will also lower the   
					humidity level. This prevents an uncomfortable cold   
					Your ERV may be equipped with automatic or manual   
					switches, but all ERVs will have a manual speed   
					control override.

				Locat ion for Mount ing   
					The Duct work Syst em   
					The HRV/ERV must be located in a conditioned   
					space where the surrounding air temperature   
					does not fall below 60˚F (16˚C). The unit must be   
					mounted level (horizontal). The warranty will be   
					void if these conditions are not met.   
					A properly designed ducting system will allow the   
					HRV/ERV to operate at its maximum efficiency.   
					(Air flow will be restricted by undersized ducting,   
					use of too many elbows, tees, bends, etc.).   
					Always try to keep duct runs as short and   
					straight as possible.   
					Typically the HRV/ERV is positioned close to   
					an outside wall or the roof to simplify the   
					connections and keep the length of insulated   
					ducting required for the fresh air intake to a   
					minimum.   
					NOTE: Fully insulated ducting with an integral   
					vapour barrier must be used on all runs   
					passing through unheated areas in order   
					to avoid condensation problems and   
					energy losses from the air steams.   
					A minimum clearance of 36 inches (90 cm) in   
					front of the HRV/ERV is recommended to service   
					the ventilator. The HRV/ERV may be mounted on   
					an equipment platform providing the drain hoses   
					are clear and there is sufficient space to open the   
					doors for servicing.   
					All joints must be airtight, sealed and impervious   
					to moisture. See specification sheets for each   
					unit for exact duct sizes and location.   
					To minimize pressure drop and noise, galvanized   
					metal ducts, properly sized, are recommended.   
					Keep ducting as short as possible and use a   
					minimum of elbows and tees. Connecting sections   
					and shorter runs may be flexible ducting one size   
					larger than the metal equivalent. Use flexible duct   
					connectors at the HRV/ERV to avoid noise   
					transmission.   
					Install the drain pans in the bottom of the   
					HRV/ERV so the drain (not on all models)   
					connections protrude through the holes provided.   
					Use drain hoses with hose clamps to connect the   
					drain pan outlets to a floor drain or standpipe.   
					Make sure the drain line slopes down to the   
					outlet. If this is not possible a condensate pump   
					will be required for positive removal of the water.   
					Protect the drain line from freezing.   
					All duct joints must be secured with screws,   
					rivets or duct sealant and sealed with aluminum   
					duct tape to prevent leakage.

				Out side Weat herhoods   
					The weatherhoods must have built-in “bird” screen with   
					1/4 in (63.5 mm) minimum mesh to prevent birds and   
					rodents from entering into the ductwork. Do not use   
					smaller mesh as it will be very susceptible to plugging   
					up. Gravity dampers at the vents must not be used as   
					they will restrict air flow and often “seize up”. The   
					preferred location of the outside weatherhoods is:   
					All duct joints must be fastened with screws, rivets or   
					duct sealant and wrapped with a quality duct tape to   
					prevent leakage. We recommend aluminum foil tape.   
					St ale Air Ret urn Syst em   
					The stale air return system is used to draw air from the   
					points in the building where the worst air quality   
					problems occur. Balancing dampers and/or adjustable   
					grilles are recommended on all return air lines which   
					are used during installation to help balance the “draw”   
					from different areas of the building.   
					• no less than 10 ft. (3 m) apart from each other   
					• at least 18 in ( 46 cm) above snow line or   
					ground level   
					• away from sources of contaminants, such as   
					automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters,   
					garbage cans, containers, etc.   
					Alternately, the stale air may be drawn directly from   
					the return air duct. When this system is used, the air   
					handler’s blower must constantly operate. The exhaust   
					takeoff connection must be at least a 3 ft (1 m) from   
					a directly connected HRV/ERV supply duct if both are   
					connected to the same duct run. Static pressure of the   
					air handlers return system should be noted and   
					compensated for if, it is apparent that the static   
					pressure of the return in the air handler will exceed   
					.1 to .15” W.C.   
					• not exposed to prevailing winds, whenever   
					reasonable possible   
					The outside perimeter of the weatherhood must be   
					caulked to prevent leakage into the building.   
					The design and size of the weatherhoods or louvres   
					chosen by the installer must allow for adequate free   
					area. Water and debris penetration of the system is   
					minimized when the airflow does not exceed 1000 FPM   
					(5.08 m/s) free area velocity.   
					A damper located just prior to the HRV/ERV is   
					required to balance the stale air exhausted with the   
					fresh air supply entering the building.   
					Ducting from the Weatherhoods   
					Return air suction points should be located on the   
					opposite side of the room from the fresh air inlet. The   
					inlets may be located in the ceiling or high on the walls   
					and fitted with inlet grilles.   
					Galvanized sheet metal ducting with sufficient cross   
					section with an integral single piece vapour barrier should   
					be used to connect the HRV/ERV to the weatherhoods.   
					All ducting must meet UL Class 1 requirements.   
					Many commercial activities produce air contaminants in   
					the form of dusts, fumes, mists, vapours and gases.   
					Contaminants should be controlled at the source so that   
					they are not dispersed through the building nor allowed   
					to increase to toxic concentration levels. The ventilator   
					allows for economical operation of the HVAC system   
					while effectively removing contaminants from the space.   
					In designing the exhaust portion of the system   
					the exhaust grilles are placed so as to remove the   
					contaminants while not allowing them to enter the   
					breathing zone of the occupants.   
					A minimum R value of insulation should be equal to   
					4 (RSI 0.75)   
					A good bead of high quality caulking (preferably acousti-   
					cal sealant) and taping with a high quality aluminum foil   
					tape is recommended to seal the duct to both the   
					HRV/ERV and the weatherhood.   
					Warmside Duct ing - General   
					Ducting from the HRV/ERV to the different areas in the   
					building should be galvanized metal whenever possible.   
					For contaminants that are lighter than air, grilles should   
					be located high on the wall. If contaminants are heavier   
					than air, a lower placement of the grilles will be   
					required. Information on a contaminants specific gravity   
					and toxicity should be available from chemical data   
					sheets.   
					To minimize airflow losses in the ductwork system, all   
					ducts should be as short as possible and with as few   
					bends or elbows as possible. 45° elbows are preferred   
					to 90° elbows. Use “Wye” (Y) fittings instead of “Tees”   
					(T) whenever possible.

				Fresh Air Supply Syst em   
					The Int egrat ed HVAC Syst em   
					Figure A and B   
					The fresh air supply ductwork from the HRV/ERV may   
					be directly connected to the return air duct of the   
					forced air system. Check the air flow balance of the   
					HRV/ERV with the air handler blower both “ON” and   
					“OFF” to determine that it does not imbalance the   
					HRV/ERV more than 10%. Also, it is advisable to   
					include a short length of flex duct or other non-metallic   
					connector in this hard ducted line in order to keep   
					the HRV/ERV acoustically isolated and separately   
					grounded (electrically) from the air handler. This will   
					avoid a possible shock hazard to service people if a   
					short to ground develops in one of the devices.   
					The HRV/ERV has become an integral component of   
					the HVAC system. Figure A shows an HRV/ERV unit   
					providing fresh air directly to the return air plenum of a   
					rooftop heat/cool unit.   
					In the balanced airflow system, the HRV/ERV exhaust   
					removes stale room air (eg. from lunch room, storage   
					or copy area) and returns to the space an equal   
					amount of fresh outdoor air, making the use of an   
					economizer obsolete in conjunction with an HRV/ERV.   
					It may be necessary to install a separate fresh air supply   
					ductwork system if the heating is other than forced air.   
					Many buildings have ceiling return air plenum as   
					in Figure B. Fresh air from the HRV/ERV can be   
					introduced directly into the ceiling space but this   
					should occur near the air handler’s intake.   
					When installing an HRV/ERV, the designer and   
					installer should be aware of local codes that may   
					require smoke detectors and/or firestats in the HVAC   
					or HRV/ERV ductwork.   
					By operating the HRV/ERV on a 24 hour/7 day battery   
					backed timer, the unit can be set to operate only when   
					occupancy or indoor conditions require the air   
					exchange.   
					Because an HRV/ERV is designed to bring fresh air   
					into the building, structures may require supply voltage   
					interrupt when smoke or flame sensors are triggered,   
					or when a central fire alarm system is activated.   
					In installations where it is satisfactory to provide   
					general exhaust from the space, the air to be   
					exhausted may be taken directly from the return air   
					plenum to the HRV/ERV as it is drawn back to the air   
					handler. Fresh air supplied by the HRV/ERV is then   
					introduced directly into the return air plenum but at a   
					location closer to the air handler. The air handler   
					would have a constant running blower to effectively   
					distribute the fresh air and remove the stale air.   
					Balancing dampers would be located in both the   
					HRV/ERV supply and exhaust ducts between the   
					return air plenum and the HRV/ERV.   
					Supply air grilles may be ceiling or high wall mounted.   
					Avoid locating incoming fresh air grilles that could   
					cause a direct draft on the occupants as the incoming   
					air may be below room temperature. A reheat duct   
					heater can be installed to improve occupant comfort.   
					The use of balancing dampers or adjustable grilles to   
					balance the flow rates into various rooms is   
					recommended.   
					The use of balancing dampers or adjustable grilles   
					as supply air diffusers and air exhaust covers are   
					recommended. TECHGRILLES™ are round, efficient,   
					sound absorbing devices available in 4”, 5”, 6” and 8”   
					(100, 125, 150, and 200 mm) models.   
					NOTE: At no time should the air handler T.E.S.P. on   
					the return duct exceed that of the HRV/ERV .

					accumulation. After the defrost period, the fresh air   
					supply fan automatically returns to the normal speed   
					and fresh outside air continues to be drawn into the   
					building. Water from the melted frost collects in the   
					bottom drip pans and drains out through the bottom   
					drain connections. The defrost cycle repeats   
					automatically until the air temperature rises   
					above 27˚F(-3˚C).   
					WARNING: In order to prevent electric shock when   
					cleaning or servicing the HRV/ERV, it is extremely   
					important to confirm the polarity of the power line that is   
					switched by the safety (disconnect) switch whose control   
					arm is located on the outside of the electrical control box   
					area. The hot line (black) is the proper line to be switched.   
					To confirm the proper polarity, use a voltmeter or test lamp   
					to make sure there is no power after the switch when the   
					door is open. Check between that point and ground (on the   
					cabinet). This must be done as occasionally some   
					buildings are improperly wired. Always make sure the   
					HRV/ERV is properly grounded.   
					DAMPER DEFROST   
					Models 700DD, 850DD, 1200DD   
					These damper defrost HRV’s have an electronically   
					controlled damper defrost mechanism. If the outside   
					temperature drops below 27˚F(-3˚C ), the defrost timer   
					is activated. A motor driven damper door mechanism   
					opens the defrost port and at the same time closes off   
					the supply air from outside. After approximately 3   
					minutes, the damper operates in the opposite direction   
					to close off the defrost port and reopen the fresh air at   
					the supply port. The 27.5 minute wait time and 3   
					minute defrost cycle repeat until the temperature again

					FAN DEFROST   
					Models 700FD, 850FD, 1200FD

					collects on the warm air side of the aluminum heat   
					transfer surfaces of the heat exchanger core. When   
					the outside air temperature drops below 27˚F(-3˚C),   
					defrost is activated which provides for an automatic   
					defrost cycle. During the automatic defrost cycle the   
					fresh air supply is shut off while the exhaust fan contin   
					ues to operate. This allows warm inside air to

					Self Test   
					Each time the HRV/ERV is powered/energized the self

					test the HRV/ERV will cycle through all the speeds   
					available (1-5), test the damper motor operation and will   
					default back to the previous mode/speed selection,   
					(factory default is Speed 1). Total self test duration is   
					approximately 1 min. 30 sec.   
					Plugging in the HRV/ERV energizes the unit. A self test   
					function will be performed every time the HRV/ERV is   
					energized (refer to “Self Test” for more details). After   
					the self test has completed successfully the HRV/ERV   
					will default to Speed 1. This is the factory default

					Control Module   
					The advanced technology of the digital microprocessor   
					automatically activates the defrost system only as it is   
					needed. To be an efficient heat recovery device, the   
					HRV/ERV must effectively provide for core defrost as well   
					as providing efficient heat exchange. As outdoor   
					conditions cool, the temperature sensor (thermistor) tracks   
					the supply air temperature. The thermistor then sends its   
					signal to the microprocessor (circuit board) which initiates   
					only the defrost cycle time required to clear the core. On   
					recirculating defrost models, the core is defrosted when   
					the supply air port is automatically blocked off and exhaust   
					air is redirected back through the HRV/ERV. On damper   
					defrost models, the core is defrosted when the supply air   
					port is automatically blocked off and the warm air   
					surrounding the HRV/ERV is drawn in through the defrost   
					port. The mode indicator will flash RED during the defrost   
					cycle. This dramatic advance makes more energy   
					available for recovery as the unit spends less time in   
					defrost mode. By optimizing the defrost cycle, the   
					HRV/ERV combines money saving performance with a   
					well designed and reliable control system.

				PITOT TUBE AIR FLOW BALANCING   
					It is necessary to have balanced air flows in an HRV/ERV. The volume   
					of air brought in from the outside must equal the volume of air exhausted   
					by the unit. If the air flows are not properly balanced, then;   
					• The HRV/ERV may not operate at its maximum efficiency   
					• A negative or positive air pressure may occur in the house   
					• The unit may not defrost properly   
					For general balancing it is sufficient to move the pitot tube around in   
					the duct and take an average or typical reading. Repeat this procedure   
					in the other (supply or return) duct. Determine which duct has the high-   
					est airflow (highest reading on the gauge). Then damper that airflow   
					back to match the lower reading from the other duct. The flows should   
					now be balanced. Actual airflow can be determined from the gauge   
					reading. The value read on the gauge is called the velocity pressure.   
					The Pitot tube comes with a chart that will give the air flow velocity   
					based on the velocity pressure indicated by the gauge. This velocity   
					will be in either feet per minute or metres per second. To determine the   
					actual airflow, the velocity is multiplied by the cross sectional area of the   
					duct being measured.   
					• Failure to balance HRV/ERV properly may void warranty   
					Excessive positive pressure may drive moist indoor air into the external   
					walls of the building where it may condense (in cold weather) and   
					degrade structural components. May also cause key holes to freeze up.   
					Excessive negative pressure may have several undesirable effects.   
					In some geographic locations, soil gases such as methane and radon   
					gas may be drawn into the home through basement/ground contact   
					areas. Excessive negative pressure may also cause the backdrafting of   
					vented combustion equipment.   
					This is an example for determining the airflow in a 6" duct.   
					The Pitot tube reading was 0.025 inches of water.   
					From the chart, this is 640 feet per minute.   
					The 6" duct has a cross sectional area of   
					The airflow is then:   
					= 
					[3.14   
					x 
					(6"÷12)2]÷4

					6. After taking readings of both the stale air to the HRV/ERV duct and   
					fresh air to the house duct, the duct with the lower CFM ([L/s]   
					velocity) reading should be left alone, while the duct with the higher   
					reading should be dampered back to match the lower reading.

					The accuracy of the air flow reading will be affected by how close to   
					any elbows or bends the readings are taken. Accuracy can be   
					increased by taking an average of multiple readings as outlined in the   
					literature supplied with the Pitot tube.   
					BALANCING PROCEDURE   
					Pitot tube and gauge   
					The following is a method of field balancing an HRV/ERV using a Pitot tube,   
					advantageous in situations when flow stations are not installed in the duct-   
					work. Procedure should be performed with the HRV/ERV on high speed.   
					DUCT   
					AIR FLOW   
					The first step is to operate all mechanical systems on high speed, which   
					have an influence on the ventilation system, i.e. the HRV/ERV itself and   
					the forced air furnace or air handler if applicable. This will provide the   
					maximum pressure that the HRV/ERV will need to overcome, and allow   
					for a more accurate balance of the unit.

					Pitot tube, hose and   
					carry case.   
					Pitot tube   
					Magnehelic gauge   
					PART NO. 99-167   
					Drill a small hole in the duct (about 3/16"), three feet downstream of   
					any elbows or bends, and one foot upstream of any elbows or bends.   
					These are recommended distances but   
					Place pitot tube a minimum of 18" from blower or elbows   
					the actual installation may limit the   
					amount of straight duct.   
					Outdoors   
					The Pitot tube should be connected to a   
					magnehelic gauge or other manometer   
					capable of reading from 0 to 0.25 in. (0-   
					62 Pa) of water, preferably to 3 digits of   
					resolution. The tube coming out of the   
					top of the pitot is connected to the high   
					pressure side of the gauge. The tube   
					coming out of the side of the pitot is con-   
					nected to the low pressure or reference   
					side of the gauge.

				SERVICE/ MAINTENANCE   
					Servicing your HRV/ERV on a regular schedule will   
					result in optimum operating efficiencies and   
					prolonged life of the equipment.   
					sharp, and the core itself susceptible to damage   
					if dropped.   
					When removing the core, the location it is removed   
					from should be noted.   
					Due to numerous applications in which this   
					equipment can be installed, it is difficult to predict   
					servicing intervals. In certain situations where there   
					is heavy smoke, servicing the equipment every one -   
					two months may be needed; whereas ventilating a   
					meeting room for example for carbon dioxide may   
					only need service every six months to a year.   
					The core is removed by carefully pulling the core   
					outward from the unit, sliding it evenly along its “H   
					channel” supports found in each corner of the core.   
					Note the core may have some resistance when   
					sliding out. Avoid tilting the core as this will result in   
					its edges catching the H channel and temporarily   
					preventing its removal.   
					MOTOR   
					Access to the motor is through the front service   
					doors. Note heat exchanger core can be removed to   
					provide more room. See CORE in this section.   
					In most cases, washing the core in a mild   
					detergent and warm water will be all that   
					is needed to completely clean them. Do not use   
					harsh chemicals as this may cause corrosion in the   
					HRV. The time between core service will depend   
					on the application the HRV has been installed in.   
					It can be as often as one - two months or at the very   
					least, cleaned every six months. When reinstalling   
					the core you must note foam location and drip   
					edge location for proper core placement.   
					The motor is a permanent split capacitor type (PSC)   
					which uses a sleeve mechanism to steady the shaft.   
					There is an oil wick beside the sleeve which supplies   
					oil to it on a continuous basis.   
					If the motor does not have oil tubes, no maintenance   
					is required.   
					See diagram below.   
					Access to the wick is through oil tubes, (two per   
					motor) located in the motor case itself. These oil   
					tubes are either capped with yellow plugs, (which   
					need to be removed for oiling) or have clear tubes   
					protruding from them.   
					ERV CORE (ERV only)   
					Remove core and vacuum or use low pressurized air to   
					clean core. Do not wash or submerse in water.   
					With the core in its proper position, place the   
					bottom flange, (approximately 1/4”) into its H channel   
					support, then place the left side, the right side and   
					finally the top flange into place in the same fashion.   
					Once all four corners are in place, push the core   
					evenly into the cabinet until it reaches the back. Be   
					sure the drip edges are overlapping the drip trays.   
					In either case an oiling device such as an “Oil   
					Telespout” filled with 20 S.A.E. non-detergent electric   
					motor oil should be used to put oil inside the tubes. A   
					couple of drops of oil once a year will do.   
					DO NOT OVER OIL!   
					HRV CORE (HRV only)   
					The heat exchange core is accessible through the   
					front service door. Special care and attention should   
					be given to this component as the edges may be   
					Note the core will protrude slightly out from the front   
					of the cabinet, this is so the access door, when   
					closed, ensures a tight fit.

				FILTERS   
					DUCT WORK   
					It is a good idea to inspect ducting, outside   
					weather hoods (wall caps), and grilles for blockage   
					and dirt buildup, at least every six months.   
					Open front service door to access the filters   
					located in both supply and exhaust air streams.   
					Note to remove and install filters, it may be easier   
					to first remove the core(s). See CORE.   
					Outside weather hoods should be protected by a   
					rodent screen which can plug up with debris.   
					Also, it is a good idea to visually confirm that   
					the fresh air supply is free from any sources of   
					contamination, such as other vented combustion   
					equipment added after the fact.   
					The filters are designed to stop large particles   
					from entering in the core. The filters are fastened   
					in place by a metal spring rod. To remove filters   
					from core(s) simply pull the rod from one end,   
					outward until free from core lip, and remove.   
					Only use warm water with a mild detergent to   
					wash the filters. Do not use harsh chemicals.   
					DAMPER MOTOR   
					The damper motor, (if applicable) is a self   
					contained motor and does not require service.   
					The damper door attached to the motor could use   
					a little lithium grease on the shaft opposite the   
					motor, where it enters its holder, once every   
					two - three years.   
					The time between filter service will depend on the   
					application the HRV/ERV has been installed in. It   
					can be as often as one - two months or at the   
					very least, cleaned every six months.   
					CONDENSATE DRAINS   
					The condensate drains consist of two drain pans   
					which may collect water after the HRV/ERV   
					initiates a defrost cycle, and a drain line to   
					remove the condensate.   
					General Maint enance   
					As a final step in a routine maintenance   
					schedule, it is a good idea to confirm operation of   
					the system, checking speed control functions and   
					remote control operation, if applicable.   
					Maintenance on this portion of the system should   
					be done as often as possible and should not   
					exceed six months. Note bacterial growth in   
					standing water is a major concern to healthy   
					indoor air quality, and should be avoided whenever   
					possible.   
					Wipe the inside of the cabinet to remove dust and   
					cob webs as needed.   
					It is a good idea to keep a service/maintenance   
					log of the unit.   
					To clean these components, open the front   
					service door and flush the pans with water.   
					Ensure that the pans drain completely and in a   
					reasonable amount of time. Note if the water   
					does not drain right away, check for blockage in   
					the drain line, also check that the drain line has a   
					good slope to it. (1/8 - 1/4” per foot)   
					The drain line itself should have a “P” trap in it   
					below the HRV/ERV which is to be filled with   
					water to prevent odours or gases from entering   
					back into the unit. When flushing out the drain   
					pans, this too will be flushed out, and the water   
					that was there will be replaced with clean water.
