Caution

CAUTION: Before having any general plumbing work done in your home, be sure to share the Harvest System Service Card with your service technician so they know what precautions to take when shutting off water to the house or shutting any valves connected to the Harvest System.

The System Service Card comes with the Pod, and may be located near the Harvest Pod or water tank.

Connecting the Harvest Pod to a different wifi router

1. Make sure the Harvest Pod is powered on.
2. Connect your phone/tablet/laptop to the Harvest Pod’s WiFi access point
   1. The network name (HarvestPodXXXX) and password can be found on the label on the bottom of the Pod
   2. Wait at least 5 minutes after powering the pod before attempting to access the Harvest Tech App.
3. Navigate to “http://harvestpodXXXX.local” using an internet browser, where “XXXX” is the same as the name of the network.
4. Configure the Internet Connection, and look for a green “Connected” indicator:

Descaling

Scaling is the build up of minerals on the inner linings of pipes and of the hydronic coil. Over time it can reduce system performance.

Consider asking your plumber to descale the system every 3 to 5 years depending the hardness of your water. The system has drain valves to facilitate descaling of the heating coil.

Real-Time Clock Battery Replacement

The Pod contains a real-time clock with battery backup to keep track of time when it loses power and isn’t connected to the internet. The battery is a CR1220 coin cell type. Replacement is recommended every 10 years and must be performed by a Harvest-authorized professional, not by the homeowner. Replacement parts must be high quality brand name parts.

Caution

CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to manufacturer instructions.
