Water Chemistry
5.1 Pool Water Chemistry
Water chemistry in swimming pools is critical for the health of the bathers and the condition of the
enclosure and components. An enclosure with poor water chemistry has a noticeable “chlorine” smell, which
is an indication of high chloramines in the air. Not only does this have an effect on the water, but it affects
the bathers and the air they breathe.

Start-up Check List
6.1
Pre-Start Checklist
Before starting the unit, be sure that the following items have been completed.
• Ensure there is enough space to install the unit. See “Installation”, for installation recommendations.
• Inspect the packing to be sure it is completed. If damaged, please send a report to your dealer. Protect the
unit if installation is delayed.
• Check to be sure that all packaging materials have been removed from the unit.
• Check that the unit physical installation (ducting, piping, fans, fan valve, panel etc.) is in accordance with
the recommendations of the Installation section.
• Ensure the manual and other necessary documents are completed.
• Check that the condensate drain is connected.
• Ensure that the space air temperature of the pool enclosure is not lower than 22°C, and the temperature
of the pool water is at least 21°C
• If the unit is equipped with the auxiliary air-cooled air conditioning condenser, ensure that it has been
correctly wired and piped and that the control wiring has been connected between the unit and the ACC
unit.
