OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon completion of the installation, run the water-circulating pump to purge the
system & heater of air (i.e. Remove any trapped air in the system & heater).
You can encourage air out of the heater flow tube by gently elevating the exit port
of the heater when the pump is running. The heater will only switch ‘On’ (red light
indicator illuminated) when the following criteria are met ie:
• Water circulating pump is ‘On’ delivering in excess of 1,000 litres / hour
• Temperature set point dial is set to a higher value than that of the water

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
7.1
QUESTIONS: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE SPA TO HEAT UP?
A 2 kW water heater will be able to raise the temperature of 3,000 l by 10°C in 24
hours (from a tap temperature of approx. 12°C), provided there is no heat loss. Heat
loss will slow the heating process, particu-larly during periods of cold weather,
hence the higher the water tempera-ture is to be maintained above average ambi-
ent air temperature, the slower the heating process will become.
The only influencing factors are the level of insulation and the location of the pool
with regard to wind shelter.
To reduce running costs and speed up the heating process; Insulate the pool wherever
possible. A floating solar cover is an essential minimum to retain heat.
7.2
QUESTION: MY HEATER WILL NOT SWITCH ‘ON’
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 confirm increase the set point value by turning the temperature set point dial to
a value greater than the current water temperature.
Possible cause 2: The ‘Thermal safety cut-out’ has tripped.
Remedy: Remove button cover and press red button to reset (see fig 4). If a positive
click is felt, the cause of the tripping must be investigated and could be caused by a
debris build-up or air pocket trapped inside the flow tube of the heater.
