The maximum flow rates are only recommended flow rates to minimize scale formation and to reduce 
wear on the elements. The heater is fitted with a pressure relief valve set to lift at 2 Bar (29 psi). Maximum 
flow rates throughout your system will depend on your system configuration.

  DRAINAGE: A method of draining water away from the heater and other equipment is provided. The 
heater should be flushed at the end of each swimming season. During flushing or servicing, water may be 
spilled and could cause damage to the floor or other equipment. A drain valve has been fitted to the 
vessel to aid you. 

Flow direction through the heater is left to right, allowing the temperature controller to sense the 
temperature coming from the pool.  The direction may be changed by reversing the probes of the control 
thermostat and the safety thermostat, as follows: 

 

 

a) 

Switch heater circuit breakers to OFF; 

b) 

Switch main power supply and pump interlock supply to OFF; 

c) 

Remove main cover;
