Do you wish to receive details relating to routine maintenance of the equipment at this time (See ‘maintenance’) : SEND TO : HS EUROPE LIMITED 2 Manners View, Newport, Isle Of Wight, England, PO30 5FA Heatstar would be pleased to provide a stamped, addressed envelope on request. Thank you for your assistance.
Page 6: Environmental Control Requirements
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL REQUIREMENTS : POOL WATER TEMPERATURE : The pool water requires to be heated to an acceptable temperature. Within a typical indoor pool, the pool water is normally heated to a temperature between 26°C and 31°C. The vast majority of the heat loss from the pool water is through evaporation from the pool surface into the pool hall air.
Page 7 HOW DOES A 'POOL WATER SURFACE COVER' WORK ? Savings on operating costs are often possible through the use of a pool surface cover. Such a cover primarily acts to 'seal off' the pool water surface when the pool is not in use, reducing evaporation and heat loss to an absolute minimum.
Page 8: Product Overview
PRODUCT OVERVIEW PURPOSE : The Heatstar Pegasus is a unit which is intended to be used, in association with other equipment and services, to facilitate control of the environment within an indoor swimming pool. The term environmental control, in this instance, relates to humidity level and air temperature.
Page 9: Principle Of Operation
As the warm humid pool room air is sucked into the Heatstar unit and over this cold coil, the steam within the pool room air is condensed to cold water as it comes into contact with the cold surface of the refrigerated coil.
Page 10: Installation Requirement Summary
OFF LOADING & MANOEUVRING The Heatstar unit is heavy and the will require at least two people to safely manoeuvre the unit into position. Do not drop or jar the unit from any height - not even two or three inches. Move it gently and progressively.
Page 11: Positioning The Unit
Otherwise, from consideration of effective operation, the unit can be mounted at any height. However, to offer the best visual impression, the Pegasus should be installed so that the top of the unit is slightly higher than eye line. This would best ensure that the mechanical fixings etc of the unit are concealed.
Page 12 THROUGH THE WALL VERSIONS : The Heatstar ‘Through Wall’ model unit would normally be positioned behind an appropriate wall within the pool room. Typically the Heatstar unit would be located within an adjoining plant room. Noise transfer : The dehumidifier is a comparatively large refrigeration unit and will generate appreciable vibration when operating.
Page 13: Mounting Procedure
MOUNTING PROCEDURE WALL MOUNTED MODEL : In summary : A bracket is provided which is fixed to the supporting wall. The chassis only of the unit is then simply lifted onto the bracket. The front facia can then be re-attached to the chassis.
Page 14 Re-fixing the front facia. Once the unit chassis is mounted on the wall, the front facia can then be replaced. The facia simply slides onto the front of the unit chassis, ensuring that the facia is square onto the unit. It is advised that replacing the front facia is a job for two people.
Page 15 Mounting the unit chassis. Once the frame bracket is firmly secured to the supporting wall, the unit chassis can then be lifted into the bracket : Caution : Lifting the unit chassis will require at least two people. Carefully lift and manoeuvre the unit chassis until it is fully recessed into the frame bracket. Whilst the unit chassis is being held in place, the screws which secure the unit chassis to the frame bracket should be replaced.
Page 16: Boiler Fired Heating System
The Heatstar unit simply transfers the heat provided by the fuel boiler into the pool room air. The heat produced by the fuel boiler is taken to the Heatstar unit using a closed circuit of pipe work filled with water, similar in principle to a standard central heating system.
Page 17 AIR VENTING OF THE LTHW PIPE WORK : An air vent should be positioned at the top pipe outlet of the air heating coil within the Heatstar unit. An air vent should also be positioned at the highest point in the LTHW pipe circuit.
Page 18: Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WARNING The Heatstar unit embodies electrical and rotational equipment. Only qualified personnel who thoroughly understand the operation of this equipment and any associated machinery should install, start-up or attempt maintenance of this equipment. Non-compliance with this warning may result in personal injury and / or equipment damage.
Page 19 Earth, that a normal fuse or circuit breaker may not detect. CIRCUIT BREAKER : In addition to an RCD, the mains supply to the Heatstar unit must be protected by a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB). An MCB is a circuit protection device similar to a simple fuse, but re-settable.
Page 20 A separate Isolator Switch must be positioned immediately adjacent to the Heatstar unit to isolate all electrical supply. The isolator switch must be within clear view from the Heatstar unit and not more than 3 metres away in distance. When in the ’off’ position, the isolator used must provide a gap of at least 3mm between the internal electrical contacts.
Page 21 If the motorised heating valve is of ‘spring return’ type, then the valve will close automatically as soon as the 240v supply from the Heatstar unit is switched off. If the motorised heating valve is of ‘power close’ type, then a separate 240v supply is provided from the Heatstar unit to power the valve close.

Page 23: Condensate Water Drainage
It is necessary that a U-BEND TRAP be included in the pipe to prevent the suction effect of the fans in the Heatstar unit from drawing the condensate water back into the unit. The trap should have a drop of at least 50mm.
Page 24: Principle Of Control
The control setting simply tells the Heatstar unit what temperature you consider to be ‘warm enough’. The heat output available from the Heatstar is a fixed quantity and turning the control setting to maximum will not serve to increase the amount of heat coming from the Heatstar unit at all.
Page 25: About The Heatstar Control Panel
All models have the air heating control as standard, even if the heating coil is not built into the unit. This enables separate air heating equipment i.e. radiators etc. to also be governed by the Heatstar control panel if required.
Page 26: Initial Control Settings
Air heating switch off point. Note : If no air heating coil is built into the Heatstar unit and the air temperature control is not used to govern any other heating equipment, the dial should be set to ‘0’. PUTTING THE UNIT INTO COMMISSION The Heatstar unit will start to operate as soon as the mains electricity supply is connected.
Page 27: Checking The Installation Services
Such a temperature is obviously very hot and is not far short of boiling. Therefore the copper pipe entering the Heatstar unit should be far too hot to hold for any length of time. If this is not the case, then the boiler is not supplying enough heat to the Heatstar unit.
Page 28: About The Warming Up Period
The trap will also ensure that odours from the drain can not be drawn into the Heatstar unit. ABOUT THE WARMING UP PERIOD Once the Heatstar unit is running, the temperatures and humidity within the pool room will start to be controlled. Air temperature : Air can be heated up comparatively quickly and, therefore, the pool room air can immediately be heated up to the required temperature within a matter of minutes.
Page 29: Control Of The Fuel Boiler
The Heatstar unit may call for heat from the fuel boiler at any time, day or night, and, if that heat is not available, then control of the pool room environment will be compromised.
Page 30: Fault Finding
If the ‘POWER’ amber neon is off and other neons on the Heatstar are lit, this indicates that the ‘POWER’ neon bulb is faulty.
Page 31 If, after the time delay, the neon is still not lit, check that : The ‘CUT-OUT’ is not lit, see below. That the pool room air temperature is above 19°C and that the Heatstar refrigeration system is not iced If neither of the above is the case, then contact Heatstar for advice.
Page 32 The heating of the pool room air is a very simple process : The heated boiler water is circulated through a ‘car radiator’ type coil within the Heatstar unit. The pool room air is blown through this coil, picking up heat as it does so.
Page 33: Extended Warrantees
HEATSTAR EXTENDED WARRANTEES In the UK the Heatstar is supported by a full parts and labour warranty which initially runs for one year from the original supply date. When this initial period expires, continuing extended warranty cover is then available at an additional premium.

DISPOSAL OF REDUNDANT PRODUCT The refrigeration circuit within the Heatstar incorporates refrigerant and oil. When the time comes to renew the Heatstar, a refrigeration company should be employed to recover any remaining refrigerant and to safely dispose of the oil.
