3. Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the Nu-Calgon PurCool Condensate Pan Strip 1903D:

1. Locate the Condensate Pan: Identify the condensate pan within your air conditioning or refrigeration unit. This pan collects water condensed from the air.
2. Ensure System is Off: Turn off the power to the HVAC or refrigeration system at the thermostat and the circuit breaker before proceeding.
3. Inspect and Clean Pan (Optional but Recommended): If the condensate pan is visibly dirty or has existing sludge buildup, it is recommended to clean it thoroughly before placing the new strip. This ensures optimal performance of the PurCool strip.
4. Place the Strip: Carefully remove the PurCool strip from its packaging. Place the strip directly into the condensate pan. The strip is weighted to prevent it from floating. Position it in an area where it will consistently come into contact with the condensate water. Placing it further away from the drain can help treat a larger area of the pan.
5. Gendan strøm: Once the strip is securely in place, restore power to your HVAC or refrigeration system.

4. Betjening

The PurCool Condensate Pan Strip works by slowly dissolving when it comes into contact with condensate water. This controlled release action continuously treats the water in the pan, preventing the growth of slime, algae, and other microorganisms that lead to clogs and odors. The strip's weighted design ensures it remains submerged and effective throughout its lifespan.

5. Vedligeholdelse

For continuous protection and optimal system performance, regular inspection and replacement of the PurCool strip are necessary.

• Udskiftningsplan: Each PurCool strip is effective for up to six months. Mark your calendar or make a note of the installation date to ensure timely replacement.
• Visuel inspektion: Periodically inspect the condensate pan. If the strip has significantly diminished in size or if you notice signs of new buildup or odors, it is time to replace the strip, even if it has been less than six months.
• Pan Cleaning: When replacing the strip, it is a good practice to briefly inspect and clean the condensate pan if any residue has accumulated.

6. Fejlfinding

If you experience issues with your condensate pan after installing the PurCool strip, consider the following:

• Persistent Clogs/Overflows: If clogs or overflows continue, ensure the strip is correctly placed and in constant contact with water. Check for other potential blockages in the drain line that may not be related to biological growth, such as debris or structural issues.
• Lugtpersistens: If odors persist, verify the strip is still active (not fully dissolved). Ensure the condensate pan and drain line were adequately cleaned prior to installation, as existing severe buildup might require more aggressive initial cleaning.
• Strip Dissolving Too Quickly: If the strip appears to be dissolving much faster than six months, it might be in a system with unusually high condensate production or water flow. Consider more frequent replacement or consulting an HVAC professional.

For complex issues, it is recommended to consult a qualified HVAC technician.
