Trane Water Source Heat Pump GEVE006

WARNING: Hazardous Service Procedures! The maintenance and trouble shooting procedures recommended in this section of the manual could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical or other potential safety hazards. Always refer to the safety warnings provided throughout this manual concerning these procedures. When possible, disconnect all electrical power including remote disconnects before servicing.

Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. When necessary to work with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been trained in handling live electrical components per these tasks. Failure to follow all of the recommended safety warnings provided, could result in death or serious injury.

A strainer (60 mesh or greater) must be used on an open loop system to keep debris from entering the unit heat exchanger and to ensure a clean system.

Heat exchanger checked for cleanliness?

For units on well water, it is important to check the cleanliness of the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. Should it become contaminated with dirt and scaling as a result of bad water, the heat exchanger will have to be back flushed and cleaned with a chemical that will remove the scale. This service should be performed by an experienced service person.

WARNING: Hazardous Chemicals! Cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly alkaline. Handle chemical carefully. Proper handling should include goggles or face shield, chemical resistant gloves, boots, apron or suit as required. For personal safety, refer to the cleaning agent manufacturers Materials Safety Data Sheet and follow all recommended safe handling practices. Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in death or serious injury.

Water quality checked periodically?

Condensate Trap: For units incorporating a negative trap design, ensure that the condensate system is primed with water at all times. Allowing a negative, pressure condensate system to run dry could cause a break in the condensate seal allowing the fan to draw water from the condensate line to spray moisture into the mechanical system. By maintaining a primed condensate trap, a seal will be created and will help prevent these complications.
