Service/Maintenance

Servicing your HRV on a regular schedule will result in optimum operating efficiencies and prolonged life of the equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 sharp, and the core itself susceptible to damage if dropped.

When removing the core, the location it is removed from should be noted.

The core is removed by carefully pulling the core out- ward from the unit, sliding it evenly along its “H chan- nel” 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.

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.

1200DDPOOL, 700DDPOOL, 1000RHCAC, 1000RHC specifications

Lifebreath is a brand renowned for its commitment to energy-efficient indoor air quality solutions. Among their offerings, the Lifebreath 700DDPOOL, 1200DDPOOL, 1000RHCAC, and 1000RHC stand out as exemplary products designed for various residential and commercial settings. These units leverage cutting-edge technologies to provide superior ventilation, heat recovery, and air quality management.

The Lifebreath 700DDPOOL is specifically designed for indoor pools and similar environments. This model boasts dual-flow ventilation, which simultaneously circulates fresh air into the space while expelling stale air. The 700DDPOOL features a built-in dehumidistat, ensuring optimal humidity levels are maintained, which is vital for preventing mold and preserving air quality. Its energy recovery capabilities make it an eco-friendly choice, reclaiming heat from exhaust air to pre-condition incoming air, thus significantly reducing heating costs.

The Lifebreath 1200DDPOOL offers similar benefits but on a larger scale. With a higher airflow capacity, the 1200DDPOOL is ideal for larger pool areas or heavily used commercial spaces. It also incorporates advanced filtration technologies that trap allergens, dust, and pollutants, resulting in cleaner air. Both the 700DDPOOL and 1200DDPOOL are engineered for easy installation and maintenance, with features like removable filters and accessible components.

The Lifebreath 1000RHCAC and 1000RHC models shift focus towards whole-home ventilation and air conditioning solutions. The 1000RHCAC combines heat recovery with air conditioning capabilities, allowing for year-round climate control. The unit’s heat exchanger efficiently recovers heat from the outgoing air and transfers it to the incoming air, ensuring that energy is conserved even during cooling seasons.

In contrast, the Lifebreath 1000RHC emphasizes effective heat recovery without an integrated air conditioning system, making it an excellent choice for areas where cooling is not a priority. Both models boast a quiet operation, ensuring no disruption to daily living, along with energy-efficient certifications that appeal to eco-conscious consumers.

Overall, Lifebreath’s 700DDPOOL, 1200DDPOOL, 1000RHCAC, and 1000RHC models provide exceptional performance, versatility, and user-friendly features. These air management systems represent the future of sustainable indoor air quality solutions, meeting diverse ventilation needs while prioritizing energy efficiency and comfort. With Lifebreath, users can breathe easier knowing they have invested in cutting-edge technology designed for health and efficiency.
