STARTING THE SYSTEM
Before switching the system on, please allow 24 hours for all adhesives to set. Ensure the Pump
is primed before switching it on (or open the valve on a manual system).
You will notice some air bubbles in the pool return outlets - this is normal and will clear after
several minutes. It will occur each time the system starts.
Survey the entire system, ensuring you check:
•
The fittings and fixtures are primed and cemented properly
•
All valves are installed correctly and in the right positions
•
The system is properly secured to the roof
•
Screws and bolts are secure, and penetrations sealed
•
All pipework has been properly secured and supported
•
All collectors have been secured top and bottom with Barb Locks
•
Check for leaks and/or weeps
•
The system will automatically drain or is installed with manual drain valves
•
Drain Down Kit is installed
•
The Automatic Controller (if installed) has been switched on with no fault codes
•
Pump is primed
If you come across any issues check the ‘Troubleshooting Guide’ at the back of this manual.
