Installing the Over-Temperature Thermostat
1)
Important:
If the area of your collector array is oversized for your pool/spa and/or you have a
highly insulated/covered pool/spa - you will require a safety thermostat to prevent the
potential
overheating
of your pool/spa. The thermostat assembly should always be installed
on the higher temperature
OUTLET (RETURN) SIDE
of the collector array.
General Spa Pool Safety Notice:
Prolonged bathing in hot water may increase a person’s
normal core body temperature of 37°C, which could result in hyperthermia. Persons affected by
hyperthermia may experience, weakness, fainting, nausea, drowsiness, and muscle cramps - as
a result,
they may experience a failure to perceive the impending danger of prolonged
immersion and the need to exit the spa pool, and/or they may be physically unable to exit the
spa pool.
Using an accurate thermometer the spa pool owner should always check water temperatures
do not exceed 40°C before allowing people to enter the spa pool. A water temperature of 38°C
or lower is recommended for young children or pregnant women. Never use alcohol, drugs, or
medication before entering a spa pool.
As a precautious when working around a spa bath we recommend all
mains power be
switched off
. The Vertex system is extra low voltage safe, however if you have any doubts
about your ability to carry out electrical work on the Vertex system we recommend your
wiring is installed and serviced by a qualified electrician.
