ositioning and piping connection of the heater(cont’d…) 

If required levelling screws can be used in the four holes in the base of the heater. These 
are used to  level the  heater. More  importantly,  they will stop the heater  rocking on its 
base.  If  the  heater  is  installed  on  a  shelf,  the  holes  may  be  used  to  screw  the  heater 
down. This can be achieved by bolting the heater down, or by using wood screws from 
the top.  

If  the  heater  is  connected  to  rigid  pipework  and  is  floor  mounted,  the  levelling  screws, 
together with the pipes and cable will usually keep the heater stable. 
 

Direction of flow through the heater 

The default direction of flow of pool water through the heater is left to right. This allows 
the temperature controller to sense the temperature of the water coming from the pool. 

If required, the flow direction may be reversed by exchanging the positions of the probes 
of the control thermostat and the safety thermostat. This is carried out as follows: 

a) 

Switch heater circuit breakers to OFF

b) 

Switch main power supply and pump interlock supply to OFF

c) 

Remove main cover; 

d) 

Reverse the two probes.  The controller  probe is  situated at the left-hand end of 
the element plate. The safety thermostat probe is situated at the right-hand end 
of the element plate and is marked with a short length of white sheathing; 

e) 

Move the thermometer probe to the empty pocket on the left-hand side; 

f) 

Replace and fix the top cover before reconnecting connecting electrical supplies

 

Electrical Installation 

All  electrical  work  must  be  carried  out  by  a  competent  and  experienced  electrician, 
certified according to the regulations in the country of installation. 

 

Earth leakage protection must be provided by fitting  a Residual  Current Device  (RCD)  to 
installations  involving  swimming  pools  or  spas.  The  RCD  must  be  rated  to  carry  the 
current  drawn  by the heater  (see table below) and the current  drawn  by other items  of 
equipment  on the same supply

Overcurrent protection must also be provided in the form of a Circuit Breaker.  Due to the 
continuous high load that will be drawn, the circuit breaker should be rated at least 20% 
higher than of the current shown in the following table
