WATER FLOW

THREE RULES OF WATER FLOW
FOR THE CLIM8ZONE UNIT
TM
1
The CLIM8ZONE unit (figure xx, A) should have an input water flow of 11.9 US
TM
GPM (45 LPM) +/- 10% for optimal efficiency when heating or cooling the water.
2
The water flow into the CLIM8ZONE TM unit should be greater than 3.57 US GPM
(13.5 LPM) to prevent a low flow error.
3
The water flow into the CLIM8ZONE unit should be less than 17.8 US GPM to
TM
ensure the unit is not damaged over extended use.
CLIM8ZONE Water Flow Rates US Gallons Per Minute
TM
Optimal flow rate for heating/cooling 11.89
Maximum flow rate for heating/cooling (+10%) 13.08
Minimum flow rate for heating/cooling (-10%) 10.70
Maximum flow rate to prevent damage 17.83
Minimum flow rate to prevent low flow error 3.57
Water flow rate for the BP Control System:
Minimum: 23 GPM (5.22 m3/H)
The BP Control System has a minimum specified flow
rate of water through the electric heater for the BP
Control System to function properly. Therefore, a bypass
plumbing setup with slice values must be used in the hot
tub to allow for both the flow rate requirements of the
CLIM8ZONE unit and the flow rate requirements of
TM
the BP Control System heater to be met in the hot tub.
The installer shall adjust the water flow into the
CLIM8ZONE unit by using the ball valve to ensure that
TM
the flow rate is within the recommended ranges.
Low or No Flow Condition
The CLIM8ZONE unit will shut itself off for safety
TM
reasons anytime the sensed water flow through the Heat
Pump falls below a threshold of 3.6 GPM (0.81 m3/h).

During a Low/No Flow condition, the CLIM8ZONE
TM
unit will not heat or cool the water and will display an
error message on the control panel display.
High Temperature Safety Protection
The CLIM8ZONE TM unit will shut off all heating
or cooling for safety reasons anytime the water
temperature exceeds 43°C/109.4°F for 5 seconds at the
outlet or inlet.
Ozone / UV
Make sure any ozone / UV units are installed down
stream from the CLIM8ZONE unit (Figure 9, F).
