The flow tube does not feel warm
Due to the high efficiency of your electric heater no warmth should be detectable from the flow
tube of the heater.
The most likely causes of the flow tube feeling warm are
Possible Cause 1.) The heater has been positioned in direct sunlight.
Possible Cause 2.) An air pocket is trapped inside the heater, particularly if the tank feels warmer
at the highest point of the tank (as air rises).
No lights appear on the heater when it is switched on
Possible cause: Power Failure external to the heater - Remedy:
Check any fuses, RCD or other switch components installed in the supply cable.
Q = How long will it take to heat my pool?
A =
Assuming no heat losses
, and a heater sized in the ratio 1.5-kW per 1,000-gallons of water
(4,545-litres): it will take 2 days of continuous running to raise the temperature of a pool from
tap temperature to swimming temperature.
Heat loss will slow the heating process, particularly during periods of cold weather, hence the
higher the water temperature is to be maintained above average ambient air temperature, the
slower the heating process will become. The only influencing factors are the level of insulation
and the sighting of the pool with regard to wind shelter.
Useful advice: 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.
