What is the storage life of the r22 in the canister? I 'd like to keep a canister on hand for future recharges by my HVAC tech.

r22 will last indefinitely is long as it's sealed and not exposed to air or moisture. it will expand and contract and its metal vessel but that we'll be undetectable

I guess it depends on 'how humid your storage area is?' I try to minimize it by placing my valued items in freezer bags or air tight boxes in my safe. This definitely extends to time between recharges. Also, the more humidity the more you need to recharge it. The best part is that you can see when it needs recharging.

I have not discovered a way to tell. I usually just let it run out and hook up a new one. I do not start with a new canister every time.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

Not sure of shelf life but my unit remains functional. Unit is worth every penny for the kids and me

Look for a heat and air truck and ask the teck how mutch they would charge to install the unit. One factor is how your old condenser failed. If it burned the oil the r22 can NOT be reused so you would need to replace it and it is quite expensive now. You would need around 7 to 15 lbs. it is now over $7 a pound and is usually sold in 35 lb. tanks however a ac teck should have access to the reclaim equipment and small amounts of r22

I wish I could answer your question. I only kept the machine for about a week. I did use it with the batteries for about 8 hours each night. As far as long term life of the batteries in the unit, I am not able to answer. Sorry, I am not much help.

I've it stored in a cabinet, and haven't had an issues with orders. But, I use either arm and hammer baking soda or air freshener as backup. It really depends on what you put into can and how long it sits. SimpleHuman makes odor absorbers, which you can view on their website. Not sure if it fits this model, you'd need to contact SimpleHuman. Net = I've been very happy with this can. Looks good, works good, easy to take lid off, the lid holds trash bags in place.

I have my service light always flashing red. Is it an indication to replace the canister? The manual said the service light will flash after 168 hours (a full week) of operation. I called the support and they suggested me to replace the canister (116$). If the running coast is 116$ per week, it is an expensiver equipment.

I am not sure of the shelf life exactly,but I can tell you that the previous bottle of clonex that I had before ordering this one lasted about 4 yrs. I used the whole bottle so it might be good for longer than 4 yrs. I never noticed any decrease in the performance, as it always produced pretty well. Some hydro suppliers recommend storing it in the refrigerator, but I never have. I don't use any cloning solution anymore. Go to modularhydro.com to find out why. I don't work for them, just trying to help you out. I bought the $38, 8site cloner and had 8 super healthy rooted clones in 9 days. Never seen anything like it. Check it out.

It does not have Freon (R22) in it. It is pre-charged with Pureon (R410A). As of 2012 you cannot buy units that are charged with Freon - they ship them with dry Nitrogen and this has to be removed and charged with Freon.

I purchased this in Aug 2013 and it is still working...I keep it sealed in the bucket that it came in.

If this has the standard r22 threads it should work fine. Be aware that this valve does not shut completely off once the can is pierced. This means you wil have to use a whole can while recharging or waste what is left.

My unit is in storage until the second week of February becsuse I'm moving so I can't answer now. If your still interested come the middle of February then ask agdin and I'll be glad to answer.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop. Just had it 4 months before I stored it for the winter.

the expiration date is on the bottom edge of the canister with bold black numbers. I believe mine says 07/2017 so it probably has a 4 year self life.

I've owned mine since February 2013. I use it three or four times a year and it has the appearance that it will last a good long time. It's already way earned it's keep compared to canned air.
