To assist correct air purging and to ensure the heater remains completely full of water during operation, the return pipe which carries the water back to the pool must incorporate a safety loop or ‘kick-up’... -

Page 7: Water Quality
The fl ow rate of water into the heater must not exceed 17,000 litres per hour (3,740 UK gallons/hour) A higher fl ow rate will require the installation of a bypass to prevent damage to the heater elements. The heater will not operate unless the following minimum fl ow rates are achieved ie: 1,000 litres / hour (220 UK gallons/hour) for 3 ~ 6-kW heaters and 4,000 litres / hour (880 UK gallons/hour) for 9 ~ 15-kW heaters. - Page 8 Fig 7. the required temperature The digital thermostat fi tted to your pool heater has been pre- programmed with all the necessary parameters to ensure reliable service and operation. All you need to do is set the temperature you would like your water to be maintained at, this is known as the required set point temperature.

Page 9: Function Testing
Time switching delay To prevent overheating of the components within the heater caused by frequent ’On’ and ’Off ’ switching (cycling) the digital thermostat has been pre-programmed with a time delay function. This prevents rapid fl uctua- tions in water temperature from switching the heater ’On’ and ’Off ’ more than once in a two minute period. - Page 10 The only infl uencing factors are the level of insulation and the location of the pool with regard to wind shelter. Useful advice: To reduce running costs and speed up the heating process; Insulate the pool wherever possible. A fl oating solar cover is an essential minimum to retain heat.
- Page 11 Trouble Shooting – Analogue HEATER WILL NOT SWITCH FROM STANDBY (AMBER LIGHT ) TO ON (RED LIGHT) In most cases this will be the result of one of the following points not being met. Possible cause 1: The set point temperature has been achieved. To confi rm increase the set point value by turning the temperature set point dial to a value greater than the current water temperature.
- Page 12 Note: In some cases the high limit thermostat tripping and a low fl ow rate can be linked ie: when a fi lter becomes choked air can be drawn into the fi ltration system and become trapped inside the heater so causing the thermostat to trip.

Page 13: General Troubleshooting
General Trouble Shooting NO LIGHT APPEARS ON THE HEATER WHEN IT IS SWITCHED ’ON’ Possible cause: Power failure external to the heater Remedy: Check any fuses, RCD or other switch components installed in the supply cable.
