Like traditional water heaters, heat pump water heaters require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
Here are some recommended maintenance tasks:
1. Inspect the water heater tank and pipes regularly for any damage or leaks. Make sure the pipes are properly insulated to maintain efficiency.
2. Drain the heat pump tank annually to remove any built-up limescale from the tank’s base.
3. Clean the air filter, located at the top of the pump, every 3 to 4 months. The system has a built-in sensor that alerts you when the filter needs cleaning or replacement.
4. Check the temperature and pressure relief valve once a year. Open the valve and release the handle to ensure it closes properly.
5. Clean the condensate lines and empty the drain pan annually.
