Installation 5.3.2 Connecting the lines The flow directions are to be observed on the heating and pool wa- ter side. Designation Designation Pool water inlet Supply from heating 1 Outlet to the pool Return to heating 2 Supply from heating 2 Return to heating 1 1.
Page 29
Installation 5.3.3 Connecting the heating The on-site connections to the heating circuits must be detachable. The two heating circuits must be connected in parallel to ensure economical energy transfer. The performance curves are not achieved with only one heating cir- cuit (series connection) (refer to Section 12.1).
Page 30
Installation 5.3.4 Install on-site components/water lines. Increase in the temperature on the pool water side NOTE at the heat exchanger above 40°C. ● Damage and failure of the system or the PVC-U piping. ► Install a maximum temperature limiter after the heat ex- changer, which switches off the heating circulation pump if the temperature is exceeded.
Start-up Start-up The initial start-up of the product is only allowed to be carried out by the customer service. Thermal hazard due to contact with hot surfaces CAUTION (up to 90°C). ● Burns ► Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heat exchanger and the heating-side components.
Start-up 6.2 Checking the system function 1. Check the heat input into the swimming pool. 2. Check the locking of the on-site heat supply (e.g. heating cir- culation pump) when the pool water circulation pump is switched off. 6.3 Handing over the product to the owner/user ►...
Operation/handling Operation/handling CAUTION Exceeding the maximum temperature ● Failure of the system and risk of water damage ► Ensure by means of control technology, or mechanically, that the flow on the heating side is also stopped or interrupted when the pool water circulation pump stops. The heat exchanger has a thermowell.
