Spectra Series Owner’s Manual
• If you have opted for a permanent electrostatic filter, wash it with
a garden hose at least every 60 days. When placing the filter
back in the slot, be sure that the arrow on the filter frame points
toward the unit.
• Never operate the unit without a filter.
Water Supply for Well Water Systems
An adequate water supply to the unit is very important. Do not let
anyone disrupt the water supply by rerouting the supply line or tapping
into it without first checking with your independent WaterFurnace
dealer. If the well pumping system requires service or is inoperable,
your unit should be turned off until an adequate water supply is
restored.
Water Supply for Closed Loop Systems
No regular maintenance is required. However, if you notice air
noise within the piping or your loop is ever damaged by excavation,
contact your independent WaterFurnace dealer.
Drain Pan
In the cooling mode, moisture removed from the air forms as
condensation on the air coil and the resulting water runs down to the
condensate drain pan. The drain pan can pick up lint and dirt,
especially with dirty air filters. If overflow occurs, the system will shut
down.
• If the water does not run freely, clean the drain pipe. Pour a
capful of bleach in the drain pan once a year. This helps to
prevent algae.
• To gain access to the drain pan for inspection: TURN ALL POWER
OFF TO THE UNIT AND AUXILIARY HEAT. Remove the screw
located above the top center of the fan compartment door. Lift
the door up and pull out at the bottom. The drain pan is the
black rectangular pan with the drain hole in the middle.
What about regular service?
Your Spectra system requires no regular maintenance. However,
once a year or so, have the unit inspected by an independent WaterFur-
nace dealer. He will check the unit’s performance and make sure that
your Spectra unit is heating and cooling at its peak performance level.
If your unit is using a well as its water supply, your unit may need
periodic cleaning to remove mineral deposits.
