- Page 8 Total Bromine: Max 4.5 mg/litre TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) / Calcium hardness 200— 1,000ppm Optima Compact heaters are suitable for use with salt water pools with a salt concentration up to 8000ppm (8g/litre). For salt water pools with a greater salt content (such as sea water pools) the Optima Compact Plus heater is required.
- Page 9 Operating Instructions The heater will only switch ‘On’ (red heater on light illuminated) when the following criteria are met i.e.: • Water circulating pump is ‘On’ delivering in excess of the minimum flow rate (see flow requirement information - page 5) • Required temperature is set to a higher value than that of the water (via the digital thermostat - refer to page 6) Q: How long will it take to heat my pool?
- Page 10 Accurate Function Test If a more accurate test is required to confirm that your heater is delivering the specified heat output, two electricity meter readings will need to be taken from the properties main electricity meter, with an exact one hour interval (ie: take one meter reading and then a second reading exactly one hour later) then by subtracting the first reading from the second reading the number of units (kilo watts / kW) consumed can be calculated.
- Page 11 Fig 7. Possible cause 3: Insufficient flow. If using a cartridge filter: Confirm this by running the system with the cartridge removed from your pump & filter unit, this will supply the heater with the maximum flow rate that your unit is capable of. If the heater then switches ’On’...
- Page 12 For example: A 6-kW heater, when connected to a 4,000 litre / hour pump, will produce a lift in temperature of approximately 1.2 °C (almost undetectable to the human hand) however, as the water being heated is re-circulated from a single body of water, the time required to heat it remains unaffected by the volume of flow.

Correct Horizontal floor mounting In-Correct Correct Wall Flow switch bracket at top For vertical wall mounting water must always enter Wall mounting at the bottom The heater should be installed at a low point in the filtration system. It should be positioned downstream of (after) the filter and upstream of (before) any dosing or other water treatment plant.
- Page 15 Fig 3. Pipe Work To assist correct air purging and to ensure the heater remains completely full of water during operation, the return pipe which carries the water back to the pool must incorporate a safety loop or ‘kick-up’ in the pipe as close as possible to the heater (see fig.
- Page 16 Electrical Connection The heater must be installed in accordance with the country / regional requirements and regulations. In any event the work must be carried out by a qualified electrician, who will provide a certificate of conformity upon completion of the work. The power supply must be fitted with a RCD, and a means of disconnection / isolation.
- Page 17 Flow Requirements The heater should be connected to a filtration system with a minimum flow volume of 200 litres per minute (12m³/h). The maximum flow volume that the heater will operate with is 750 litres per minute (45m³/h). If the flow volume is greater, a by-pass must be installed.
- Page 18 When the correct required temperature is displayed, press and release the P button. The unit will then revert to displaying the current water temperature, but will now control the water temperature, to a maximum of the required temperature. Time switching delay: To prevent overheating of the components within the heater caused by frequent ’On’...
- Page 19 power supply to the heater is switched on. The heater will only switch ‘ON’ (red light indicator illuminated) when the following criteria are met ie: • Water circulating pump is ‘On’ delivering in excess of the minimum flow rate of water (see flow requirement information - page 16) • Water temperature set point (required temperature) is set to a higher value than that of the water (via the digital thermostat - refer to page 16) If after initial power up either the Clear NO / LOW FLOW or Amber OVER TEMP.
- Page 20 Trouble Shooting THE CLEAR NO / LOW FLOW NEON INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED: Possible Cause A: The flow volume through the heater has fallen below 200-litres per minute (12m³/h) or has stopped completely. Solution: Increase the volume of flow through the heater, check for blockages or if the filter(s) require backwashing.
- Page 21 (i.e. you would like the heater to heat) this is to inform the operator that there is an issue that needs to be resolved before heating can take place. If the water temperature is above the set point temperature the Amber OVER TEMP.
- Page 22 Guarantee Your heater is guaranteed from the date of purchase against faulty workmanship and materials for a period of 3 years (geographical variations apply) The manufacturer will replace or repair, at it’s discretion, any faulty units or components returned to the company for inspection. Proof of purchase may be required.
