Failure to do so could result in contamination that might cause Legionnaires’ disease which can be 

fatal.

procedure for this is outlined in this maintenance section and service schedule tables.  Maintenance of the water 

treatment systems should be carried out as per the instructions supplied with that equipment.

Service Schedule

The service schedule should be determined at commissioning. This will depend on the application, the water quality

and the system usage. The default is 200 hrs operation. The programming section contains details of how to adjust the

service schedule to suit the applications.

Refer to the software overview section for details on how to access this page.

2)      The Service Runtime is the number of running hours since the last service.

3)      The Total Runtime is the total number of hours the humidifier has been in operation.

After the humidifier has been serviced the Runtime hours can be reset by pressing

WARNING: The SK VAP system should not be electrically isolated for periods exceeding

24hrs as automatic flush and purge cycles will be disabled

.

If the system is turned off for prolonged periods, water stagnation might occur and bacterial 

contamination result

, therefore the system, including any storage tanks or vessels should be drained and left dry.

Before putting the system back into service, a full risk assessment should be undertaken to ensure safe operation, with 

particular attention paid to water supply quality.

The water pipe-work supplying the SK VAP should be purged carefully, avoiding the creation of aerosols by 

splashing, and a water sample should be taken to ensure cleanliness. In the event that the humidifier contains any

residual water or has remained damp, and the temperature exceeded 68°F (20°C), the SK VAP should be cleaned and

disinfected. Refer to the cleaning, disinfection and descaling instructions in this manual.
