old Water Basin
The cold water basin should be flushed out quarterly, and checked monthly or more oen if necessary, to remove any accumulation of
dirt or sediment which normally collects in the basin. Sediment can become corrosive and cause deterioration of basin materials. When
flushing the basin, it is important to keep the suction strainers in place to prevent any sediment from entering the system. Aer the basin
has been cleaned, the strainers should be removed and cleaned before refilling the basin with fresh water.

Operating Level of Water in Cold Water Basin
The operating level should be checked monthly to make sure the water level is correct. Refer to Table 3 for unit specific levels.
* Measured from lowest point on basin floor.
** Not available on eco-ATWE.
†
Measured from the overflow.
At initial start up or aer the unit has been drained, the unit must be filled to the overflow level. Overflow is above the normal operating
level and accommodates the volume of water normally in suspension in the water distribution system and the riser piping.
The water level should always be above the strainer. Check by running the pump with the fan motors off and observing the water level
through the access door or remove the air inlet louver.
