In case of emergency
In case of an emergency, for example a
fire or a spill of hazardous gas nearby:
•
close all windows and doors (as
advised by the authorities).
•
turn off your HRV system by the
on/off switch or if not fitted by
disconnecting from the mains
supply.
•
there is enough fresh air in your
house for a time.
•
always follow the instructions of the
authorities in these emergencies.
•
as soon as it is safe to do so, restart
the HRV system.
How can I ventilate intelligently?
Intelligent ventilation means it is
operating 24/7. Secondly it needs to
ventilate the correct amount - this
depends on the presence of people and
their activity.
You can imagine that during the use of
the bathroom or kitchen, extra
ventilation may be required.
The BRINK HRV has therefore 4
ventilation settings on the 4-way
switch.

Can I open a window?
Even with a balanced HRV system you
can open a window if you want.
However, in a well balanced ventilated
dwelling this is not necessary.
In the summertime, if the indoor
temperature is becoming too high,
opening a window can provide
additional ventilation with cooler air.
However, if you open the window in the
heating season, extra energy is wasted
in heating up the incoming cold air.
Remember the incoming air through
the ventilation system is filtered and,
providing the filters are regularly
cleaned, this air will be of a better
quality than the air coming in through
an open window.
Condensate drain
The appliance is fitted with a
condensation drain with a water trap
somewhere below the unit.
If you get a drain smell near the unit it
is possible that the trap has dried out
through evaporation.
This can be simply resolved by refilling
the trap with water.
