De-scaling a Hot & Chilled Cooler

(De-scaling automatically sanitises the Boiler)

Scale is a major problem for Hot Water Tanks in Hard Water areas. A build-up of scale inside the tank can seriously affect the safety and the performance of the equipment. The parameters affecting the formation of scale are
The hardness of the Water
The temperature of the Hot Water
The Hot Water consumption
It is imperative that the Cooler is being de-scaled regularly. It is recommended that de-scaling is done outside the customers premises

To de-scale

Turn Power off.
Drain water in reservoir through taps, then drain boiler from drain at the back of the cooler
Remove baffle from cold tank.
Pour de-scaler into cold tank and allow to gradually feed into the boiler
Active foaming occurs as a sign that there is scale in the boiler.
When the foaming stops, all scale should have been removed. This could take 10 to 15 minutes or more.
Drain descaler out of the boiler
Fill boiler and cold tank with water (without heating) and drain water out again
Repeat until all traces of descaler have been removed
Refill Cooler with water and turn power back on

Connecting a POU Cooler to the mains

All mains’ connections should be made using a professional Installation Rail (WHA approved) which includes Copper Compression Fittings, an on/Off Tap, A Pressure Reducing Valve, a Non-Return Valve and a Waterblock
Professional Installation Rails are available from a number of suppliers, including AA First. The AA Installation Rail is available without a Filter (PRAILKIT) for customers wanting to use their own Filters, or with a Filter (PFRAILKIT).
Isolate the mains water supply before connecting the Copper Compression Fittings to the mains
Connect the Installation Rail to the Copper Compression Fitting
Connect the Installation Rail to the POU Cooler – which has its power turned off.
Turn the mains on and check all Push Fit connections and fittings for leaks
Turn the POU Cooler power on
Prior to commissioning the Cooler check all mains and electrical connections prior to commissioning the Equipment

AA Water Cooler Service, Maintenance a Recycling

HYGIENE

Water is our most important FOOD and Water Coolers must be maintained in a hygienic condition. The Water Cooler Associations demands that all makes and types of Water Coolers must be regularly sanitised, using approved sanitising solutions/techniques
Bottled Coolers must be Sanitised every 3 months
POU Coolers must be sanitised and the filter exchanged every 6 months
All Coolers should be sanitised prior to commissioning
Sanitising should be in accordance with WHA guidelines

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

All electrical connections/wires should be checked at installation
(It is possible that some connections have come loose during transport)
Check the flex cable for any visible damage and ensure that the Cooler is not installed on top of the cable
Coolers should be PAT tested by the Distributor if the equipment has been removed by him from a site and before re-installing it at another site. The User should PAT test the equipment annually.
It is recommended that points above form part of the regular routine maintenance

WEEE RECYCLING & LABELLING

All Water Coolers should be recycled at the end of their life according to WEEE Regulation. All Water Coolers should be marked with: CE marking for electrical safety, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) as proof that the materials used comply with\ rigorous RoHS legislation and the Wheeled Bin Symbol to confirm that the Cooler must be recycled under WEEE.

ArcticStar 55 HOT a Cold Installation instructions

The ArcticStar 55 Hot Water & Hot Water Booster

The “standard” hot water temperature range is between 82C and 92C. It can be BOOSTED to 95C/96C to provide 1.51tr of piping hot water for instant draw off- The hot water boosting feature will be operated by pressing and holding the BOOST icon on the top of the upper front panel Keep the finger on the BOOST icon for 2 seconds until you hear a second “beep” to indicate that BOOSTING is happening. During BOOSTING the light will flash Red. Once the BOOST mode has completed the light will turn to a solid Red. Boosting time can vary depending on the current temperature of the water in the hot tank. From 92C this will take approximately 60 seconds to boost the temperature to 96C.

Attention

BOOSTING has to be done every time you want a higher hot water temperature above 90C to be boosted to 95C/96C. Be aware that in a hard water area, the higher hot temperature will result in an increase in Scale in the hot water tank. This will affect the safety and performance of the equipment. It is therefore imperative that the Cooler is being de-scaled regularly.

The ArcticStar 55 Cold light

A GREEN SOLID LIGHT on the upper front panel indicates that power to the Arctic Star 55 is on. You can draw chilled water.

The ArcticStar 55 ECO Light Sensor

This ECO feature automatically turns the Boiler off when the office lights are off. It saves about 25% in electricity.

In case the ArcticStar 55 is located in a dark area, it may be necessary to disable the ECO function by switching it OFF on the back of the Cooler.

Installation

When installing the unit for the first time the heating switch (HOT S/W) on the back of the cooler should be in the off position. Please ensure water can be drained from the hot tank, as a sign that there is water in the tank, before turning the hot switch on.
When the heating switch is turned on there will be a 3-minute delay before the element is switched on. This is a further protection to ensure the element is not damaged in case there is no water in the hot tank.
