1.
Before removing your Prime Chiller from the box, please note any exterior shipping damage
to the box. It is strongly recommended to keep the box and packaging material in the
unlikely event there is shipping damage or service is required.
2.
Remove the chiller and controller from the box and inspect thoroughly for any signs of
damage, even if the box does not show damage. If you notice any damage (cracked or bent
cover, damaged condenser, fins, etc...) please stop and contact your dealer immediately.
3.
Make sure the chiller is placed on a firm, level surface in a location that has plenty of ventilation
and will not be exposed to salt or saltwater. Do not use an extension cord for the chiller or
the thermostat.
The requirements for ventilation are:
a) Back/Front: Condenser (radiator) requires at least 18” clearance to allow air into the chiller.
b) Sides: Requires at least 6” clearance to allow for proper air flow.
c) Chiller must not be placed in a closed closet or cabinet. If placing chiller under a cabinet, the
cabinet MUST have a back opening at least 30" wide x 30" high for adequate ventilation.
d) The warm air from the chiller must be completely evacuated from the chiller location. A fan
may be necessary to draw warm air away from the chiller. The maximum operating temperature
is 95 F.
Installation:
4. The chiller includes a tapered barb fitting that fits both 3/4" and 5/8" flexible hoses. It is not
necessary to cut the barb fitting if using 3/4" tubing, however if desired, the barb fitting can
be cut using PVC cutters. Ensure that you cut the fitting BEFORE attaching it to the chiller.
5. Place barb fitting onto inlet and outlet and tighten compression cap. Ensure that the gasket
O-ring fits snug and is seated properly between the barb fitting and chiller.
6. Slide hose clamps onto hose. Attach hose to inlet/outlet barb fitting and tighten hose
clamp.
7. Before turning on chiller, ensure the following:
a) The chiller must have adequate water flow for proper operation.
Model
HP
Min/Max Flow
2645
1/4
5-10 gpm
2646
1/3
6-12 gpm
b) Make sure the pump will operate normally without any blockage.
c) Make sure the chiller is plugged into a GFCI protected 110V power outlet.
7. Turn on water pump and check for leaks. IMPORTANT: Do Not Run Chiller without water
flow. Doing so may damage evaporator.
8. Set the temperature controller to the desired temperature as instructed in Programming
Controller section.
