Pipe Work

It is essential that the pipe work connecting to and from the heater has a 

minimum bore (internal diameter) of 32 mm. To support correct air 

purging and to ensure the heater remains completely full of water during 

operation; the return pipe which carries the water back to the pool must 

incorporate a safety loop or ‘kick-up’ in the pipe as close as possible to 

the heater (see Fig.4)

NOTE: When coupling to a flexible pipe a safety loop can easily be 

formed by directing the pipe up and over an obstacle. Pipe clips 

should be used to securely fasten all hose connections.

Weather Protection

The heater must be installed within a dry weather proof area.

Caution! 

If the heater is unused during the winter months, it must be 

drained to prevent frost damage.

Electrical Connection

The heater must be installed in accordance with the country / regional 

requirements and regulations. In any event the work must be carried out 

by a qualified electrician, who will provide a certificate of conformity upon 

completion of the work. The power supply must be fitted with an RCD. If 

required, your electrician may replace the cable entry gland supplied with 

a larger size to secure the cable powering the heater.  This will not affect 

your warranty if undertaken by a qualified electrician.

Cable section: This should be calculated at 5-amp / mm² for distances 

up to 20 metres (these sections are indicative and should be checked 

and adapted if necessary for cable lengths over 20 metres).
