BTH ULTRA Electric Boilers Installation & Operation manual (Revision: June 2015) 23.
Section 6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Properly maintained, your boiler will provide years of
dependable, trouble free service. It is recommended
that a regular routine maintenance program be
established and followed by the user. Components are
subject to eventual failure that requires service. Failure
to use the correct procedures or parts in these
circumstances may make the unit unsafe or reduce the
life of the boiler.
The owner should have the following inspection and
maintenance procedures performed:
6.2 AT ALL TIMES
An immediate inspection shall be made if:
An odor of melted plastic or overheated
material is detected
A leak coming from the unit or the heating
system is observed
If a leak is detected at the outlet of the safety relief
valve, it could be related to a problem with components
installed on your heating distribution system. A quick
correction is then required.
Do not plug the outlet of this valve if a dripping condition
occurs.
6.3 TWICE A YEAR
Check for the proper operation of the automatic
air purger(s) and eliminate air from the
radiators.
6.4 ANNUALY
Make sure that the power on the unit has been
turned off before opening the electrical
compartments of the boiler.
It is recommended that a visual inspection be made on
the electrical compartments of the boiler to check the
water tightness of the gasket on the element flange and
also check for any signs of overheating of the
components and wires. At the beginning of the heating
season, check the proper operation of the
operating/safety controls, circulating pump and heating
distribution system components. Required corrections
should be made as soon as possible. Parts used for
replacement shall be the same as the original
equipment.
Open the boiler drain valve to eliminate
deposits that could have settled at the bottom of
the boiler. Stop when water gets clear. If there
is no flow or a very small flow, it could be due to
a large accumulation of deposits at the bottom
of the unit. If so, close the isolating valves at the
inlet and outlet of the boiler, remove heating
element(s) and clean the inside of the tank with
a strong jet of water
If the system piping includes a strainer to collect
sediments from the heating distribution system,
it must be clean.
If the installation includes an auxiliary boiler,
have it checked by a qualified technician.
