iCool Compact
STEP 6
Now that you have pre set your desired temperature and started the
circulating pump, notice that the pump button will have changed from
start to stop. You can use this same button to start and stop the pump at
any time.
Now, touch the start system button and the cooling cycle will begin. The
water will be cooled to your preset temperature and the system will then
cycle to maintain it at that temperature automatically. The SYSTEM can
only be started once within any 3 minute period to avoid overloading
the compressor. So if you don’t hear it start do not touch the START
SYSTEM again , it will start automatically after the 3 minutes safety
period elapses.
In an emergency you can stop all functions immediately by touching
the “ALL STOP
” button However, if the cabinet is hot, only the fan may
continue to run until the cabinet has cooled.
For the safety of users, you can not set temperatures below 5°C or
above 45°C. (40°F-112°F)
Some models have the ability to heat as well as cool
If your iCool is a contrast MODEL, then depending on the temperature
you set, it will either heat or cool the water automatically to reach your
preset temperature and then maintain it at that temperature. It heats by
modern heat pump technology using as much as 70% less electricity
than conventional electric spa heaters.
Setting up to use the Heating Mode
For safety reasons you can only initiate the heating mode at the time
the unit is first switched on. You can not change to heating while you
are using it in the cooling mode or vice versa. You must switch off at the
main switch and start again to change modes.
Your iCool selects either cooling or heating automatically
If you set the temperature to a value that is BELOW the current water
temperature in your pool it will automatically begin COOLING when you
touch the START SYSTEM button.
If you set the temperature to a value that is ABOVE the current water
temperature in your pool it will automatically begin HEATING when you
touch the START SYSTEM button.
To use the heating function use the up down arrows to select the hot
temperature you require up to 45ºC (or 108ºF) and then touch the
START button. This takes you back to the main operating screen where
you can now start the PUMP and the SYSTEM as usual. The status bar
on top of the unit will turn RED when you touch the START button to
indicate that your iCool is now heating. It will continue to heat until it
reaches your pre set temperature and then hold that temperature for
as long as you wish.
You must use a pool cover when heating the water
We all understand that heat rises, so you must use a cover on top of
your pool when heating it or you will lose a large amount of the heat
energy into the room and it will take much longer to heat the water.
The Loss of Water Flow Warning Screen
If water stops flowing for more than two minutes the iCool will sound
a warning and shut down. This screen shown here will appear.
The Water Flow Warning Screen also provides an option to over ride
the water flow protection system in the rare situation of a false alarm.
Once you use this function to disarm the flow safety monitor nothing
will stop the system even if water is not flowing and this can seriously
damage the pump as it will have no lubrication or cooling from the
water.
This over ride function is only to be used for short periods where it is
essential to keep your system operating until the reason for the false
alarm can be determined and corrected.
Water flow can also stop if the heat exchanger tank is frozen solid
If you set the temperature below about 7ºC or (45ºF) it is occasionally
possible in certain climatic conditions for the heat exchanger tank to
freeze solid which will block the flow of water.
In order to cool the pool water to these extremely low temperatures the
system must cool to at least 5 to 7ºC below the set temperature and
this takes it very close to the temperature that water freezes solid.
Following international safety standards your iCool will not accept
water temperature settings below 5ºC or (40ºF) as this would put
athletes using the system unattended at risk of hypothermia. The iCool
is easily powerful enough to freeze the water and if this happens the
safety screen above will appear and the system will stop.
WARNING
Never use the water flow protection overide option unless you
are absolutely certain that the system has stopped because of
a false water flow alarm
