HEAT SIPHON

7.2 Cleaning

WARNING: Before cleaning TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE UNIT. Al-
though each unit is production tested for any ground faults and the
electrical supply hookup is in a gasketed rain tight housing, a faulty
field electrical hookup or hidden damage to the unit CAN PRODUCE
A FATAL SHOCK HAZARD. Don't take a chance- DISCONNECT AND
LOCKOUT THE BREAKER BEFORE CLEANING
CAUTION - DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY INTO THE HEAT SIPHON
WITH A HOSE OR OTHER HIGH PRESSURE WATER. Although the Heat
Siphon® Is Rain tight it is NOT WATERPROOF and high pressure water
can be directed in a manner that could cause shorting and even
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD.
Heat Siphon's solid PVC cabinet may be cleaned using any of the automotive vinyl cleaners, or soap and water.
An abrasive cleaner or bathtub porcelain cleanser will remove most stubborn stains. Dirt and leaves should be swept
from the finned horse shoe shaped evaporator if build up occurs. Spraying water is not necessary to clean Heat
Siphon® and normal dirt accumulation will not have any effect on the unit's performance.

7.3 Winterizing

Warning: If pool or spa water is allowed to freeze in the heat ex-
changer, it will expand and may crack the heat exchanger housing
requiring heat exchanger replacement which is not covered by the
warranty.
Your Heat Siphon can stand the coldest of winter weather with no problems. The only precaution necessary is to
make sure that the heat exchanger is drained of all pool water. If in doubt add antifreeze to the outlet (top) until
it comes out of the inlet (bottom) of the unit.
In freezing weather the plastic cabinet material does become brittle and should be protected from any impact
but can withstand normal moving and handling.
NOTE: It is totally unnecessary that your Heat Siphon be moved from its
installed location for the winter, and in fact it is recommended that you
leave it intact to avoid damage during moving.
