START-UP
PROCEDURES
Refer to the superseding installation instructions before following the start-up procedures.
1. Fill the system with water. Do not start the system.
2. Purge all air from the system. Isolation and purge valves are strongly recommended.
3. Purge all air from the space heating loop by closing the isolation valve on the return leg
of the loop and open the drain to purge air. Open the return leg isolation valve and
then close the drain valve.
4. Start the hot water generating equipment per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Set the design water temperature to deliver the necessary amount of BTUs to the air
handler.
5. Once all air has been purged, turn on the power to the ecosmart and set the room
thermostat to heat and set the temperature high enough to initiate a call for heat. This
will energize the air handler an in turn the fan and pump.
6. Once the heat source is supplying hot water, check supply and return pipes for a
temperature difference to make sure there is flow. There should be a noticeable
difference in temperature between supply and return lines. Use caution when supply
water temperature is above 120 F / 49 C.
