1.5 Starting up

1.5.1 Presentation of the regulation

: "on/off" or stand-by
: display required water temperature or setting
: setting values

1.5.2 Checks before operating the appliance

 the hydraulic connections are tight,
 the unit is stable (as well as level and upright),
 all cables are secure and all terminal connections are correct,
 the electrical supply and priority heating cables are not exposed to sharp or hot elements which
could damage them, both inside and outside the unit,
 the unit is connected to earth (green/yellow conductor),
 not tools or other objects have been left inside the unit,
 the side panel providing access to the technical section is in place.
Incorrectly tightened terminals may cause overheating of the electrical terminal rail,
and causes the annulment of the warranty.

1.5.3 Starting the appliance

 recommendations to attain the required temperature:
- protect the pool with a cover (blister cover, roller cover ...),
Strongly recommended to avoid heat loss.
- switch the filter system to "manual" mode, 24h/24 (unless priority heating is connected),
Take advantage of periods when the outside temperature is mild (> on average 10 °C) in
order to facilitate the temperature increase (this can take several days, and its duration is
variable depending on the weather conditions and size of the heat pump). The task of the
heat pump is to extract the heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the pool water. The
higher the air temperature, the more heat the heat pump will be able to transfer to the pool
water.
Putting the setpoint on maximum will not heat the water any faster.
 the by-pass valves and regulation valves (see §1.4.4) must be positioned as follows:
- valve 1 completely open,
- valves 2-3-4-5 closed.
 switch on the filter system,
 progressively close valve 1 in order to increase the filter pressure to 150 g (0.150 bar),
 open valves 2, 3 and 4 completely, then half open valve 5 (see §1.4.4) (the air accumulated in the
heat pump condenser unit and in the filter circuit is then evacuated),
If valves 4 and 5 are not present, open valve 2 completely and half close valve 3.
