HEAT SIPHON
Please read completely through this section BEFORE STARTING UNIT.
IMPORTANT: Heat Siphon® is equipped with a five minute built in sol-
id state restart delay included to protect control circuit components
and to eliminate restart cycling and contactor chatter. This time delay
will automatically restart the unit approximately 5 minutes after each
control circuit interruption.

1 Initial Performance Checks

After installation is completed and the unit is ready to start, TURN OFF POOL PUMP and follow these steps:

1.1 First Startup of Analog Models

• Turn the Heat Siphon ® thermostat knob completely clockwise
• Turn on your filter pump, check for leaks and verify flow to and from the pool.
• Turn on the electrical power supply to the Heat Siphon® . The unit should start immediately.
The LED below the knob should turn on GREEN and slowly blink signifying that your Heat
Siphon is heating the pool or spa. If it is ORANGE and not blinking then it has power but no
flow has been detected and the water flow switch needs adjusted. If it is GREEN and blinking
it is in 5 minute restart delay
• Note : Even a brief power interruption will activate the solid state 5 minute restart delay and prevent
your Heat Siphon from starting until the count down is completed. A power interruption during the
delay period will have no effect on the 5 minute countdown.
• After running a few minutes make sure the air leaving the unit is between 5 to 10 degree F cooler
than ambient air - if not call dealer
• With Heat Siphon® operating, turn the filter pump off. Heat Siphon® should also turn off auto-
matically and the LED should turn on SOLID ORANGE signifying that it is waiting for water flow
• If your Heat Siphon continues to run when the pump is off the LED will blink GREEN until the
overheat switch is tripped. It will then shut off and the LED will blink RED. You must adjust the of
flow switch (See section 1.3 below)
• Restart the pump/filter. The Heat Siphon ® should start right up - if not readjustment of flow switch
req'd. (See below)
• Allow the Heat Siphon® and pool pump to run 24 hours per day until desired pool water tempera-
ture is reached. At this point, slowly turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise until the unit just
shuts off and note the number on the dial. Your Heat Siphon& will now automatically restart (as
long as your pool pump is running) when the pool temperature drops more than 1.5 °F below the
set temperature.
In other words "SET IT AND FORGET IT."
