FILTER SERVICE.
A Clean Filter Saves Money.
When the ERV provides fresh outdoor air into your
home and exhausts indoor air to the outside, dust and
dirt particles build up on the air filters. Excessive
accumulation can block airflow, decreasing the ERV’s
performance and increase energy usage. To maintain
top performance be sure to clean or replace the ERV
filters according to the instructions in this manual.
Clean filters every three months when the unit is in
regular use or as needed to keep them clean.
FILTER SERVICE NOTES
A) The filters should be replaced after they have been
cleaned several times. Contact your installing dealer
for service and replacement filters. Replacement
filter model numbers are as follows:
Model Filter #
*ERVR100 BA YFLT10A1010A
*ERVR200 BA YFLT20A1020A
*ERVR300 BA YFLT20A1020A
B) Filters may be cut from a sheet or roll of ¾” - 1”
firm, spun polyester filter “hog hair” media or
material, similar to the existing, factory installed,
green/blue filter in the unit.
The size of each filter (2 required per unit) is listed as
follows:
*ERVR100 10 ½ ” x 1 0 ½ ”
*ERVR200/300 1 0 ½ ” x 21 ¾ ”
* First letter of model number may be an “A” or “T”.
C) Filters must always be used during unit
operation or the heat transfer core will become
blocked by particulate matter. The filters supplied in
the unit are typically able to keep the heat transfer
core clear for many months. Finer filters may be
used but must be cleaned more often.
HEA T TRANSFER CORE SERVICE.
(The Heat Transfer Core may also be referred to as
the Energy Exchange Element or Heat Exchanger)
Vacuum the Face of the Heat Transfer Core
Yearly.
Particulate matter collects only on the entering faces
of the heat transfer core. The interior of the heat

are covered particulates.

above).
2. Vacuum the exposed faces of the heat transfer
core with a soft brush attachment.
3. After servicing the filters, re-install them and the
filter retainer spring (see above).
4. Vacuum out dust from the rest of the unit case.
How to remove and clean your filter:
1. Release cam latches and carefully swing access
door open. The access door may be removed for ease
of service by sliding the access door off. Use caution
when removing door
2. Remove the filter retainer springs. Pull the filters
out. See Figure 1.
3. Vacuum filters off with a hose attachment.
